I was in this room in The River Café three years ago, writing to Ridley Scott to ask if he’d be the first guest for a podcast idea I’d had about food and memories. Ridley wrote back saying, ‘Yes Ruthie but I’m directing Gucci’ A year later, ‘Yes Ruthie but I’m directing Napoleon’ A year later, ‘Yes Ruthie but I’m directing The Bee Gees’ Then a few days ago, whilst sitting in the River Cafe garden with his family, he drew a beautiful drawing on the wine list with the words: ‘Ruthie, how about next Tuesday?’ Like knowing where I was when I first saw one of his movies, I know that in years to come I’ll remember exactly where I was when I sat with Ridley Scott, talking about food and memory, food and family – food and love. Ruthie’s Table 4 is made in partnership with Moncler.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
