In this episode of The Cooper Cast, host Dale Blankenship and his trusty sidekick Producer Kodi (still silent, still adorable) dive into the Officially Unofficial Rules of Motoring—the essential code every MINIac should live by. Think of it as the “MINI Driver’s Handbook,” only with a lot more fun and a lot fewer DMV lines.

From there, we take a trip to South Africa, where the MINI community is alive, well, and apparently very hungry—because MINI of South Africa has not one, but two breakfast events lined up for September. Clearly, some big MINI things are cooking down there.

Then it’s back to the States for a brand-new MINI-exclusive car show in Georgia. Yep, finally a show that puts MINI owners front and center—no Mustangs stealing the spotlight, no Camaros hogging the revs, just pure MINI goodness.

So buckle up, MINIacs, and join us as we laugh, learn, and motor around the globe together.

Motor safely, and don’t forget to wave!

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
