In this ninth episode of the inaugural season, begins with an introduction to a six month puppy from the Cleveland City Kennel, who came to me as a foster dog and named Era. This became a symbolic name, because not only was this a new era in her life, but at about this time it started to become a new era for pit bull dogs in Ohio, too.

In this eighth episode of the inaugural season, the pursuit to remove the inherently vicious designation for pit bulls in Ohio law continues. “On The Brink Of Change” shows the momentum starting to swing in favor of equality for all dogs, beginning with the official repeal in Toledo, which leads to more discussions about the legislation in other Ohio cities.

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
