No Taste Like Home with Antoni Porowski

Such a fantastic and refreshing show looking into the history of celebrities through food. Antoni Porowski is an excellent host that doesn't get in the way of the story being told. The touring through the various countries and cultures is enlightening and entertaining. His guests are truly excited to explore how certain dishes served in their homes during childhood are connected to the history of their families, and their cultural roots. All of this is presented with a genuine straightforward manor without any celebrity drama or acting. A refreshing series to say the least.

I hope they add on to this six episode series.

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!!

I have noticed a trend in my life recently where I've been gravitating towards "cosy", "feel-good" media and this show definitely checks that box. I love literally everything about it: travel, good food, history and kindness. I always loved Antoni's personality from Queer Eye and honestly I actually think this show suits him better - he clearly loves food, he engages with normal everyday folk so naturally, and he's just like the perfect, kind friend to have with you on a potentially emotional journey. I sincerely hope they do more shows and showcase more cultures and countries - I'll definitely tune back in when they do.

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.

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!!
