the country.

Speaker 4 (00:51):
So now you get to without actually having to go.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Really expanding your horizons.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
I don't want to expand my horizons. My horizons are
perfect right here.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
In They really aren't. And you're you're you're rocking in
an Oregon Coast sweatshirt today. So that's that's as far
as you go. Which is ridiculous that you need you
need to go. I wasn't a compliment at all, in
fact opposite. So yes, this is what we do. We
we send sky around the world, spin a wheel with

(01:20):
different global cuisines. Whatever it lands on, Sky has to
try because he's the pickiest eater on the planet. Don't
care for Are we ready to spin it? Are you excited?
I am all right. Let's spin the wheel. See what
it lands on today. Oh no, oh no, oh, this

(01:42):
is listen. I if this is a traditional way that
this is made, there's a massive problem here because today Sky,
you are going to Cuba.

Speaker 5 (02:01):
I would have wore Edie. You could have wore your
big hat, you know for sure, got a cigar.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Oh, that would be great.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
I would wear a colorful dress.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
We're going to Havana.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
We're not.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
In San Diego, Jamie's home country. Oh yes, Cuban, Resilian, Colombian. Okay,
pretty much the same thing basically. So this is very exciting.
Do you know anything about Cuban food?

Speaker 3 (02:32):
All I know is what I've learned from the movie
The Chef with Jean Favreau.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
That's he operates.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Uh, he's actually seen that.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
I actually I love it.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
That's one of my husband's favorite movies.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Okay, that's definitely not a thing.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
And any time he makes any sort of sandwich that sizzles,
he calls it a Cubano.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
I mean literally, it can be.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
A grilled cheese with bacon and he'll he'll call himself
Elfe and say he's making.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
The Buddha's Yes, well that's interesting, Skuy, because you are
going to be having a Cubano, a Cuban sandwich. You
love the movie Love you know what that is it
actually is?

Speaker 2 (03:19):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
All I know from the movie is there's like sliced
meats in there. I don't know what sliced meats are
in there.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
I think it's ham. This is this is a traditional
Cuban sandwich. Okay, everything that is in it is basically
you have like a some sort of pulled pork. Normally
you normally have ham. Okay, Swiss, Yeah, I don't know

(03:46):
if this one is has Swiss. That's traditional traditional is it?

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Or is it just cheese?

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Pickles?

Speaker 4 (03:53):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Are they dill or sweet?

Speaker 1 (03:55):
They're dill. But the big, the big thing that is
in every Cuban sandwich mustard. No, heavy, I didn't see
that in the movie, Heavy, heavy, musk.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
What are you doing?

Speaker 1 (04:09):
Okay? Can you stop bringing up the chef? Nobody's seen
the movie, but Emily, I've never seen it.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
And John Favreau did it he made traditional cubanos, I
don't know much.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
He loved that mustard. So that's how a traditional Cuban
sandwich is made, like yellow musk and it's like a
panini press and they press it down and it's it's delicious.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Is it yellow or that weird spicy yellow yellow?

Speaker 4 (04:30):
Ye're both bad?

Speaker 1 (04:30):
I don't normally Again, I don't know how the preparation
is on this exactly. I know we got it from
an actual Cuban restaurant. Yeah, so this this should be
really good. Oh she's she's throwing a fit?

Speaker 3 (04:44):
Are you?

Speaker 2 (04:46):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
My whole body wants to lay on the ground and
I kind of want to.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
There's a lot of issues here. A number one, Sky
doesn't like any kind of like stringy meat, so like
pulled pork anything like that.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
She's not a fam with a pork chop.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Absolutely could or anything like that absolutely could be for sure.
Why is that worse? Well, like a thin you know,
like they pounded out and they can do it like
that for sure. The cheese, obviously, I hate Swiss cheese.
I don't know it's your favorite cheese, Emily's favorite.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
You're offensive.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
You don't think you need to say that to her tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
Thank you for saying that you feel that way.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Were you out of pickles? Pickles?

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Okay, I mean you know I could take her.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
You're not going out of your way. You're not walking
around diney want to honk a pickle?

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Oh god, no, no no, if they.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
You did have that pickle that was uh food pickle
that was gypped in the chamoy It was like hot pink.

Speaker 4 (05:47):
Yeah, it was disturbing thing. Dude, I forgot about what
a fun memory.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
No, it's actually not it's actually not. Okay, So yeah,
so sweet pickles. Hate your face still pickles. I can
take her leave, okay, okay, okay.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
But the real issue here is sky's a number one
worst food on the planet for her, which is mustard.
And so that is I can't do. You want to
tell the story of why you don't like mustard?

Speaker 3 (06:15):
I well, I've never okay, I hate you.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
You've known me too long. I've never cared for mustard.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
And then there was this one night early in high school.
I want to say, a freshman year. We were fifty
years ago, okay, shut your mouth. We were in the
middle of tpe wars, were like every weekend. You know,
it was like a back and forth thing. The girls
are teeping the guys, and the guys are teeing the girls.
And so one night out with the girlfriends teepeing the boys,

(06:42):
one of my guy best friends got word we were coming.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
There was a rat in the group who.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Ratted us out, and he knew how much I didn't
like mustard. So he waited with two things of frenches
with the lids twisted off the top, like not even
squirt brilliant, but the lids twisted off the top, ready
to go.

Speaker 2 (07:02):
And as soon as I was on his front.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
Lawn, top of my head and you know this hair
holds everything.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yeah, because he can't really hit your head.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Okay, can you stop? It's a normal size head.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
And then I was spending the night at my friend's
Kim's house. Parents very strict, so like when we got home,
she says, you can't turn on the water, like you
can't get in the shower because that'll wake my parents
up and they'll know we snuck out. So I had
to sit until the sun came up at six am,
soaked and mustard before I could shower. It just smell it,

(07:36):
could you smell it, I will slap your face.

Speaker 1 (07:39):

a nice coutremont to have there. Have you ever had
plantains before?

Speaker 2 (08:03):

pretty much.

but you like bananas, so it's just like salty soggy.
There you go.

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.
