Kulinarische Familiengeschichten mit Antoni Porowski

I'm loving this series so much! It's really such a gem. I've laughed and I've cried. It feels like you're tagging along with Antoni and his guest as they travel the world. They're learning about the guest's family history (cool family tree stuff) and how food has connected them all.

It's fun, insightful and really touching. Antoni is the perfect host and traveling partner to watch and experience these stories about food and family with.

Congratulations to Antoni and the whole crew making it.

This is my first review too! I just felt compelled to give it it's accolades. I hope this show gets another season!

Wife and i binge watched the entire season in 1 sitting. Beautiful display of what we all enjoy...food, family and travel!

Antoni is brilliant and has a wonderful way engaging with the cast and giving bite-sized historical tidbits. Each episode offered a heartfelt exploration of heritage, blending personal stories, historical context, and cultural significance that we found both entertaining and educational. It left us wanting to explore new cuisines and a renewed passion to travel the international skies. Being from Aus hopefully they can do an episode this way in the future. Kudos to Nat Geo!!

Even though this six-part 2025 series is from National Geographic, I have to admit I was hesitant to watch what I feared would be a superficial celebrity-focused food travel series, this one hosted by Queer Eye's popular cooking coach Antoni Porowski. However, after watching three episodes, I found myself gravitating to this well-crafted cross-pollination of Henry Louis Gates Jr.'s "Finding Your Roots" and Phil Rosenthal's "Somebody Feed Phil". Each show focuses on a Gen X-to-Y celebrity, spotlights the cuisine of his or her ancestral country, and shares revelations regarding ancestral lineage that are even unknown to the celebrity's immediate family. The result is part travel show, part food porn, part cooking demo, and part genealogy discovery. It might come across as a bit contrived, but at least in the episodes featuring Florence Pugh (England), Awkwafina (South Korea), and Henry Golding (Malaysia/Borneo), the results were custom-polished travelogues enhanced by their likability and their refreshing sense of curiosity. Porowski manages a consistent level of infectious energy, though I think partnering with a genealogy expert might bolster his credibility as a globetrotting host. It's on Hulu.

Such a moving show! I laughed, I cried, and I learned some stuff! The videography is beautifully done. It's such a colorful show that hits the mark for every mood. And I swear you can almost smell the meals they make together. The very real in-depth research that went into chasing down these histories and connecting people was so moving. And every episode made me hungry for whatever food they were enjoying through their journeys. In a time when the future is so uncertain, it's a big comforting hug to experience some of the past- especially the tasty parts. My only critique is that I wish there was more!!

What a show!!!! One of the best I watched in ages, SO impressive. Absolute hats off to the team who was able to find out all of those details about these people their ancestors, truly mindblowing. The combination of family history and food that connects generations was so so so good and heartwarming.

Antoni is an amazing host, he is so calm, funny, receptive, perseptive and kind.

Please give me like at least 10 more seasons. My only note would be to invite the native family member on the road as well. Now a couple of times we would have a celebrity whose parent was native from another country and they travelled there without them? That was a bit weird and I would think the show would be way more special to the viewers and the participants as well if it could a parent/child endeavour.

Other than that 10000% recommend and I truly hope they make more seasons.
