Ruthie\u2019s Table 4 podcast is recorded in The River Caf\u00e9, a renowned celebrity honeypot and Michelin-star restaurant in Hammersmith<\/a>, London. Every week the cafe\u2019s co-founder, restaurateur and cookbook author Ruthie Rogers invites longstanding friends and regulars to The River Caf\u00e9 to chat about their personal histories through the lens of food.<\/p>\n This week, she is joined by Nile Rodgers<\/a>, the legendary composer, producer and co-founder of Seventies disco-funk band Chic<\/a>, who has been behind some of the biggest hit records in pop music history.<\/p>\n In a nostalgic and candid conversation, the Grammy-winning musician opens up about being placed for adoption as a baby and growing up in New York in a household affected by heroin addiction, and how he learnt to be completely independent from a young age.<\/p>\n Rogers is a wonderful interviewer, asking thoughtful questions while allowing the conversation to unfold naturally. Her relaxed approach makes you feel like a fly on the wall at The River Caf\u00e9,<\/p>\n
