Ruthie's Table 4: Francis Ford Coppola
Francis Ford Coppola and Ruth Rogers
When Francis Ford Coppola agreed to do a podcast with me, good friends who know us both said “actually Ruthie, the two of you are rather alike”.
Did they mean being a Chef is like being a Film Director?
Or producing a movie is like running a restaurant?
Or is choosing the grapes for your vineyard like choosing the herbs for your fish?
Or most of all, did they mean we both have our family involved in everything we do? I'm happy to take any of the above.
In Part 1 of my conversation with Francis, we talk about the vocabulary gangsters use when cooking, meeting an aspiring young filmmaker named George Lucas, the pain of losing our sons far too young - and everything in between.
And… in a first for the podcast, we even find time for a musical break - and sing a duet of the Howdy Doody theme song.
Listen to Ruthie’s Table 4 made in partnership with Moncler.
