Ruthie's Table 4: Darren Walker Ruthie's Table 4

    • Food

Recently a friend led me across a crowded room with the words—“Talk to this man about food; he is passionate!” So, I did  - and put away all my questions about the dynamic, social and radical philanthropic work that Darren Walker does as CEO of the Ford Foundation. After 10 minutes of stories and memories of his childhood and the food he ate in Lafayette, Louisiana, I asked him to pause suggesting we do this on River Cafe Table 4. And here we are — in the restaurant ready to carry on the conversation.
