November 15, 2018 – Committed to bringing premium social content to Canadian audiences, Corus Entertainment’s Food Network Canada and Twitter announce the premiere of the new live Twitter series #OneDirtyDish.
Produced by so.da, Corus’ leading in-house social content studio, the first installment of #OneDirtyDish will stream on Thursday, November 15 and Thursday, November 29 at 9:30 p.m. ET.
