Episode Transcript
Well that was kind of random. Mel dying for random
facts with Mel Taylor.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Let's take a look today at your random facts. I
got some good ones. So it seems like Italy and tomatoes,
you know I would go hand in hand. But tomatoes
were originally just an ornamental table decoration. They weren't incorporated
into Italy's cuisine until the seventeen hundreds. At some point,
Disney planned on building their second park in Saint Louis,
(00:26):
not Orlando. They developed a park in the nineteen sixties.
It was called Walt Disney's river Front Square, but it
wound up felling through. I guess Tim Burton considered casting
Bill Murray as Batman instead of Michael Keaton. Sixty percent
of all Christmas decorations in the world are made in
factories in one town in China. It's called EU sixty percent.
(00:52):
My goodness, and it's impossible to poison apossum. They produced
a protein that basically neutralizes any poison that inner their body.
Scientists are trying to use it to build a universal
poison antidotes for people. That's a look today at your
random facts.

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.
