Prometheus Project Foundation & Hellenic American Project (HAP) Announce Collaboration
EntSun News/11004005
First collaborative project is a documentary feature film, "Diner, an American Institution"
NEW YORK - EntSun -- The Prometheus Project Foundation, a non-profit organization committed to the creation of insightful Media Programs aimed at educating, enlightening, and empowering the American public, is proud to announce its collaboration with Hellenic American Project (HAP) Queens College, in producing media projects that make a difference.
The first collaborative project is a documentary feature film, "Diner, an American Institution" which explores the profound influence of various ethnic groups on both American society and the food industry. At its heart, this joint endeavor seeks to conduct a historical and sociological examination of immigrant adaptability, integration, and interplay with cultural values, family bonds, and ethnic networks. "Diner, an American Institution" explores the rich history of American diners and the invaluable contributions made by immigrants from across the globe who served as chefs, waitstaff, bussers, and kitchen crew in shaping this culinary institution's success.

The documentary will trace the evolution of diners from their humble beginnings as horse-drawn food carts catering to late-night factory workers through their transformation into stationary structures resembling rail cars equipped with electricity and open around the clock. It will also explore the era of streamlined Art Deco silver diners in the 1930s and their evolution into the contemporary large-scale restaurants we know today.
The Greek-American community has played a pivotal role in the diner's history. This documentary will tell the story of how Greek-Americans have been instrumental in shaping diners into the iconic American eateries they are today. Historical records indicate that in the 1990s, approximately two-thirds of New York City's 800 diners were owned by Greek Americans. Moreover, in New Jersey, widely regarded as the diner capital, the majority of diner owners are still of Greek descent.
"We are excited to tell this important story," said Nicholas Alexiou, Director of the Hellenic American Project at Queens College. "This documentary will shed light on the contributions of Greek Americans to American culture and society."
