For years, I've wanted to sit at his table and talk to Nick Allott. I imagine we would talk about the musicals he's produced- Les Miserables, Cats, Carousel, Hamilton - what he's doing now, his political battle to save theatres during the pandemic, and the great love for his best friend, the late, writer and restaurant critic Adrian Gill.

Today, Nick is not a guest in The River Cafe, but a guest on Ruthie's Table 4, and we are here to talk. Theater and food. Food and friendship. At Last.

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.

We've only just met, but I'm confident Claire Saffitz and I will be friends 

Claire shares the challenges of baking and life in general. She's a star in a new era of food writers who are experts in their knowledge, passionate about their craft, rigorous about their work.

Claire majored in history and literature at Harvard, then one day, almost by accident, she became the host of her own cooking show.

She has written two cookbooks, Dessert Person and What's For Dessert, both New York Times bestsellers.

I've come to New York to meet Claire - we have a lot to discuss.

This episode of Ruthie's Table 4 is made in partnership with Moncler.

My brother, Michael Elias, a writer and director tells me when visitors come to the set of a film, nothing stops. The only exception is if they are athletes.

Maybe it’s because everyone thinks, if pressed, they could act, sing or dance, but never run a race, ski downhill or score a goal. When Gary Lineker, one of the great footballers of our time, walks into The River Cafe everything stops. 

He is one of the very few footballers never to have received a red or yellow card — consistent with who he is: principled, respectful and fair — values we share.

We’re also both in the world of podcasts - his company Goal Hanger has 18 million listeners a month.

Gary and I also share the world of food.

Look at his Instagram account and you will see as many photographs of what he is cooking as the games he is analysing on Match of the Day.

Today, Gary is in The River Cafe kitchen with Joseph Trivelli making Potato Gnocchi with tomato sauce.

When he comes back I will definitely stop what I’m doing to talk to him about food, football, family and principles. 

It’s a goal.

Thinking about Laura Dern coming here today, I scrolled through three years of text messages. It's a story about making plans and choosing restaurants to go to.

As usual, most of our ideas were aspirational, adapting around our families, movies, cooking and travel. Laura is fun, curious and  smart, hanging with the crew on set.

She has memories of her grandmother and describes her parents as heroes. She is a bold spokesperson for women in the film.

Renzo Piano, the architect for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in L.A., remembers that as a trustee, she was a rigorous and remarkable client.

Today, we're here in the River cafe to talk about all this and more.
