They are the guys who navigate Main Street on their Schwinn bicycles carrying luggage for guests who are staying overnight at one of the many hotels. Amy and Nick talk about the life of a Dockporter, and the fact Archie Horn - man, myth and legend - is retirning after the season closes on Sunday.
- Segment 4: Gonzo and Amy play a short interview they did with Archie last Spring as the season was getting under way. He talks about the love he has for the beautiful Island. This is what was said about him recently on the Dockporter's Association Facebook page: "When the Chippewa Hotel Lakefront closes for the season this Sunday, it will be the end of an era. Archie Horn is the Dean of Mackinac Island dock porters and is retiring after working there since 1988." Congrats, Archie.

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.
