WEBVTT - Season Six!

0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Our Christmas dinner is grilled cheese and tomato soup. That

0:00:05.740 --> 0:00:08.350
<v Speaker 1>is maybe the most eccentric Christmas dinner of any human being.

0:00:08.390 --> 0:00:12.930
<v Speaker 2>It's so fabulous, you would die for it. Oh, boy.

0:00:13.650 --> 0:00:17.730
<v Speaker 3>I'm Ruthie Rogers. Season 6 of Ruthie's Table 4 starts

0:00:17.810 --> 0:00:20.480
<v Speaker 3>on the 3rd of November, and I'll be talking about

0:00:20.610 --> 0:00:25.100
<v Speaker 3>food and memories with guests Steve Martin and Marty Short.

0:00:25.260 --> 0:00:27.980
<v Speaker 4>I think the night before, actually, like Christmas Eve, will

0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:28.860
<v Speaker 4>be caviar.

0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:29.340
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah.

0:00:29.380 --> 0:00:29.620
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:00:30.180 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Something like that.

0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:33.700
<v Speaker 3>I have to say, my comfort food might be a

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.300
<v Speaker 3>grilled cheese sandwich. Now, Rogers?

0:00:37.100 --> 0:00:40.000
<v Speaker 2>The real person who taught me to cook was my

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:42.300
<v Speaker 2>paternal grandmother from Barbados.

0:00:42.740 --> 0:00:47.100
<v Speaker 4>Now, that was cooking. Because she taught me about spices.

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:49.580
<v Speaker 3>What do you remember of the spices?

0:00:49.740 --> 0:00:51.760
<v Speaker 2>I remember damn near everything.

0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:53.940
<v Speaker 3>Berta Gonzalez Nieves.

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:56.580
<v Speaker 2>When I was standing in an agave field and started

0:00:56.600 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 2>to see these green-blue plants that have this extraordinary extension

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.140
<v Speaker 2>of color over the heels and then see that transformation.

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:06.199
<v Speaker 2>I call my parents and I say, I know what

0:01:06.220 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 2>I want to do. I want to go into the

0:01:07.260 --> 0:01:09.140
<v Speaker 2>tequila industry. And my parents were like, oh God.

0:01:09.980 --> 0:01:13.259
<v Speaker 3>I will hear from my fellow chefs at the River Cafe.

0:01:13.660 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Push the fork or skewer in. And if the fish

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:20.480
<v Speaker 1>is cooked, the roasting fork will just slide through the

0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:22.180
<v Speaker 1>fish with no resistance.

0:01:23.060 --> 0:01:25.679
<v Speaker 3>But we also talk about so much more than food.

0:01:26.140 --> 0:01:27.200
<v Speaker 3>Tandyway Newton.

0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.340
<v Speaker 4>I wasn't allowed to have pride in my identity because

0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 4>it was more important that I became British. And I'm

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:36.479
<v Speaker 4>proud of being British, and I am British, absolutely. But

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:40.520
<v Speaker 4>what about my Zimbabwean heritage? No one has ever called

0:01:40.580 --> 0:01:45.650
<v Speaker 4>me by my name. And I just wanted to ensure

0:01:45.670 --> 0:01:46.270
<v Speaker 4>that they did.

0:01:47.370 --> 0:01:50.630
<v Speaker 3>So listen and subscribe to the new season of Ruthie's
