About this episode

In the past weeks I have been listening to Griffin Dunne’s interviews, watching his films, and most of all, reading his beautiful new memoir, ‘The Friday Afternoon Club,’ with stories about growing up in a family full of storytellers.

Cooking is telling a story, eating together is telling a story, going to a food market in Naples, is telling a story. When Griffin told his brother Alex he was going to write a book about their family, he responded, ‘You can say anything you want, but say it from a place of love.’

Today, Griffin and I are going to talk about food and family, food and friends, food and memories—from a place of love.

Ruthie’s Table 4 is made in partnership with Moncler.
