World Table, based on a TV concept by Art Smith & Jon Learn, weaves the common threads of food, music, art and cultural traditions of native peoples around the world.

The Chef will invite chefs, musicians, artists, actors and others from the arts & humanities and learn native food ways, introduce food programming ideas & share time at the table.

In the pilot show shot in Arctic Norway, Art learned native Sami joiking (chanting), reindeer herding, & ice theatre while serving a Sami family southern bisquits with Arctic berries.

Originally conceived for U.S. public television & international public access TV, the pilot was sponored by Grieg Seafood (Norway\Canada), Thon Hotels (Norway) and WASA (USA\Sweden).
