America on a Plate. The Story of the Diner

Stephen Smith reflects the story of XX century American culture through its most recognizable institution - the diner.

Stephen embarks on a girth-busting road journey that takes him to some of America's most iconic diners. He meets the film directors and country and rock singers who have immortalised them, and looks at the role diners have played not only in America's greatest paintings and movies, but also in the fight against racial oppression and the chain restaurants' global takeover.
