National Writers Series Presents - Antoni Porowski

The National Writers Series and Traverse City Food & Wine Festival are thrilled to welcome Queer Eye’s Antoni Porowski to the City Opera House for an evening about food, connection, and the joy of cooking.​ A self-taught cook, he will take the stage to talk about his unique path to culinary ​s​tardom, ​gastronomic creations, and his work in the realm of animal welfare.

The evening will feature live music, a cash bar, and the opportunity to​ meet Antoni, ​the New York Times bestselling author​ of “Let’s Do Dinner” and “Antoni in the Kitchen,” which shows cooks of all levels how to become more confident in the kitchen using his simple, yet special recipes.

Antoni is a producer and star of Netflix’s​ hit series Queer Eye, where his warmth and kitchen savvy have made him a fan favorite​ that has garnered six consecutive Emmy awards.​ He now hosts National Geographic’s No Taste Like Home​, and is host and executive producer of Netflix’s Easy-Bake Battle​.

He is ​now developing a Netflix feature film with Black-ish creator Kenya Barris, loosely based on Antoni’s own real-life dating experiences as a sexually fluid man.

Born in Canada to European immigrants, Porowski is a passionate advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, especially in his family’s native Poland.

Please join us for an unforgettable night with one of television’s most beloved food and lifestyle personalities​.
