Antoni Porowski

Antoni Porowski is a Canadian cook, author, model and actor best known as the food and wine expert for Queer Eye. Born in Montreal, he earned a psychology degree at Concordia University before moving to New York City to train at the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre, where he graduated in 2011. He auditioned for screen roles, and his Polish surname sometimes made casting harder. His film and television credits include Elliot Loves (2012), Daddy's Boy (2016), The Pretenders (2018), a lead officer role in a 2014 episode of The Blacklist and the short docudrama To My Father. Between auditions he worked in restaurants, waiting tables and serving as a sommelier before managing BondSt. Netflix brought him onto its Queer Eye revival in 2017, and the show first aired in 2018. A cookbook of his appeared in 2019, and in 2018 he and his co-hosts won an Emmy for Outstanding Structured Reality Program.
