Antoni Porowski grew to become a family identify for followers of Netflix’s Queer Eye beginning again in 2018, serving because the present’s meals and wine professional for all 9 seasons. Within the 2025 TV schedule, he could be discovered someplace utterly completely different than with a Netflix subscription because of the premiere of recent Nationwide Geographic sequence No Style Like House with Antoni Porowski. The brand new mission options Porowski taking celebrities on meals journeys into their households’ pasts, touring everywhere in the world and sampling dishes. The host spoke with CinemaBlend concerning the first episode, that includes We Stay in Time‘s Florence Pugh and a visit to the U.Ok.
I chatted with Porowski throughout SCAD TVfest in Atlanta, not too lengthy earlier than No Style Like House was set to premiere on Nationwide Geographic and grow to be accessible streaming with a Disney+ subscription. Six celebrities had been introduced for the brand new sequence: Quiz Woman‘s Awkwafina, Loopy Wealthy Asians‘ Henry Golding, Jury Obligation‘s James Marsden, Insecure‘s Issa Rae, The Leftovers‘ Justin Theroux, and naturally Florence Pugh. The host could not say why “Florence Pugh’s English Odyssey” was the primary episode to launch out of the six, however went on to inform me this:
It wasn’t the primary that we filmed, that I can let you know, however I am extra obsessive about ensuring that sure parts make it to the recipes and saying phrases. Not the worst episode [to go first] – I imply, it’s Florence. [laughs]
I am no professional on English delicacies, however since my largest takeaway from “Florence Pugh’s English Odyssey” was that I wanted to determine find out how to make the Yorkshire pudding recipe, I might say that Antoni Porowski succeeded in not stumbling over any phrases. His obsession paid off, and as he mentioned – a Florence Pugh episode was certain to be a great one to go first. Viewers could have completely different opinions, however I hope we are able to all agree that the Yorkshire pudding seems wonderful. (Perhaps that is what I am obsessive about?)
With new episodes releasing on Nationwide Geographic on Sunday nights and accessible streaming now on Disney+, viewers will see completely different layers of Porowski with No Style Like House than they did on Queer Eye, and never simply because he is the solo host this time. Once I requested how the Nat Geo providing exhibits a brand new aspect of him, he defined:
The components that I feel stay the identical are my curiosity in different folks’s tales and simply listening to about their relationship with meals. The automobile being Nationwide Geographic is simply [doing it] in a complete new international manner the place we get to journey to the corners of the earth with probably the most stunning visuals I’ve ever seen in my life.
Within the first two episodes (with “Awkwafina’s Korean Homecoming” airing after the Florence Pugh episode on premiere night time), Porowski traveled to varied locations in England and South Korea. These are solely the start, as Justin Theroux’s installment takes him to Italy, whereas he heads to Germany with James Marsden, Senegal with Issa Rae, and Borneo with Henry Golding. Chatting with the expertise, Porowski additionally mirrored on his family historical past:
I used to be raised to Polish immigrants in Canada, did not really feel Canadian sufficient. Then I moved to the U.S. and I did not really feel American sufficient, as a result of then I used to be Canadian and in addition Polish. And so I’ve at all times form of felt like I have been torn between completely different cultures. I’ve at all times felt like extra of a global creature, if that makes any sense. So I feel simply exhibiting me in a lightweight of any individual who’s traveled loads and who actually values that may be a actually necessary factor. We have had an opportunity to do it on Queer Eye slightly bit, however I feel that is in a a lot greater, extra colourful, thrilling manner.
Queer Eye followers obtained to know Antoni Porowski to a sure extent on the hit Netflix present; No Style Like House will develop on that along with his travels around the globe. The following episode, known as “Justin Theroux’s Italian Quest,” will sort out the hunt for the origins of a household pasta dish on March 2 at 9 p.m. ET on Nationwide Geographic.
