Ruthie's Table 4: Ridley Scott

Ruthie Rogers and Ridley Scott    

It was in our private dining room three years ago when I wrote Ridley Scott, asking if he’d be a guest for a podcast I was starting 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, Ridley drew a beautiful drawing on the wine list with the words: “Ruthie, how about next Tuesday?”

So, here we are today, talking about food and memories—and all the movies Ridley has made.

Listen to Ruthie’s Table 4: Ridley Scott made in partnership with Moncler.
