Best Answer

Your question made me curious, something I have wondered about for years, so I looked it up. According to Zorbas Dance Greek Restaurant, the tradition began when a rich Greek family invited a poor Greek family to dinner, and then invited them to smash the plates to prove that friendship was more important than materialism.
