In this unforgettable episode of Like A Farmer, we sit down with Emmy-winning actor and Kansas native Eric Stonestreet for a wide-ranging, wildly entertaining conversation. Eric opens up about how a breakup sparked a life-changing dare that launched his acting career – from small-town Kansas to Second City in Chicago and ultimately to Modern Family fame in Hollywood. He shares behind-the-scenes stories from the set, including a hilarious moment with Sofia Vergara, and breaks down what really made the show such a massive success. But it doesn’t stop there. Eric dives deep into his Kansas City Chiefs fandom, from dinners with Andy Reid, to the hype of Taylor Swift, to placing an epic Bills vs. Chiefs bet with Pat. He also reflects on the duality of playing lovable Cam vs. a cold-blooded killer on Dexter and explains why he regularly hosts FBI, SWAT, and Navy SEALS at his ranch, Jolly Ridge. This one’s got laughs, heart, football, and Hollywood.

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.
