About this listen

 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.

    Jorge and Paola Ramos
    Apr 27 2026

    When I was growing up in the sixties, the United States was a tumultuous place. Journalists were heroes, seeking the truth with courage.

    So today, when we need them more than ever, it was thrilling to be introduced to two extraordinary journalists: father and daughter, Jorge and Paola Ramos. In their podcast, The Moment, they question, analyse, and report.

    We are here together to talk about identity through food, holding power to account and much more.
    Heroes indeed.

I only listened to two episodes but don't intend to continue. The host interrupts her guests mid sentence constantly and has a weird style of 'this other famous person was here, too', like she needs to pump up her ago because she knows an actor? It's a shame because food could be a great pretext for deeper conversations. Well, maybe in other episodes, for which I have no patience now...
