Season 4 of Ruthie's Table 4 will return on the 22nd of October. I'll be sitting down with Elton John, David Furnish, Greta Gerwig and Noah Brumbach, Kristen Scott Thomas, Sienna Miller, Ian McKellen, Tony Blair and many, many more. If food is love, Elton John and his husband David Furnish fell in love over food. He asked for my number that evening. He said, we'll have a Chinese takeaway. I was like, oh, it sounds like I love Chinese food. So I arrive at the house, and there's four giant cardboard boxes on the kitchen counter, and the table's set for two.
0:50And I said, who else is coming? And Elton didn't know what I like, so he ordered the entire menu. I'd marry a man like that. I mean, I'd marry you the minute somebody did that. I mean, I would say that. Tony Blair came to the restaurant and went straight to the kitchen, apron, chef's whites, and stood next to the chef who was doing the rotolo di spinaci. You actually make all the pasta yourself? All the fresh pasta. So this is like a sheet of pasta. One of the reasons why when I was in government we did a lot on early years education and school meals indeed is because kids should not go to school and be hungry.
1:29and to give them an appreciation of good food early and healthy food is important. I spoke to Greta Gerwig about the food of her childhood and how it influenced the way she eats on the set of her movies. I actually tend to revert to really juvenile food habits. Like, I eat Cheetos, Cheetos in Diet Coke in sort of like astonishing quantities. Our first episode will be my friend Guillermo del Toro, who is in London directing his new movie, Frankenstein. With Frankenstein, I wrote the opening 15 pages, and the studio said, how is it going? I thought, fantastic, because I started writing that movie, the idea for it more than 20 years ago.
2:13This is a podcast that is slightly influenced by having spent 15 minutes drinking tequila at 11 o 'clock in the morning, but we had a great time. This is the one you told me to get. Let's try these three. These three are good. The first episode of Ruthie's Table 4 is out on 22nd of October on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you listen to your podcasts. See you there. Are you going home then? Yeah, yeah, tomorrow. That's terrible. I just stayed for this. No. And so when will you be back? I don't know. Depends on the tequila. Okay.
