Deconstructing Dinner is the creation of food systems journalist Jon Steinman. The series has taken many forms including its internationally syndicated radio show and podcast (2006-2010), print media, and its annual film festival. Most recently it has become a multimedia television and web series produced in collaboration with Declan O'Driscoll, Stornoway Communications (ichannel) and the Canada Media Fund (CMF). It is one of the only sources of media in Canada and the U.S. solely dedicated to investigating the origins and impacts of food choices and sharing the stories of people and communities who are reconstructing food systems abroad.
Deconstructing Dinner: Reconstructing Our Food System is a six episode television series produced by Stornoway Communications, Declan O'Driscoll and Jon Steinman with support from the Canada Media Fund.
In each of the six episodes, Host Jon Steinman joins local farmers, scientists, backyard gardeners and award-winning chefs like Michael Anthony (Gramercy Tavern), John Sundstrom (Lark), Blaine Wetzel (Willows Inn), Michael Stadtlander (Eigensinn Farm), Heather Carlucci (formerly of PRINT) and Mark Picone (Niagara College). With the help of these chefs, Steinman explores, demystifies and deconstructs six popular foods: wheat, tomatoes, pork, garlic, honey and eggs.
For the series' online component, over 45 short webisodes are available and support the content of each episode. A selection of podcasts, a blog, and recipe folder are also part of the project's web site.
The official Canadian launch of the series fell on September 16, 2013. In the weeks following, each of the six episodes broadcast to cable and satellite subscribers across Canada on ichannel. Episodes are also available on the series web site and continue to broadcast across Canada on ichannel.
The music for the series was produced by Juno- and Emmy-award nominee Adham Shaikh.
