Antoni Porowski is leaning into what he does best: bringing people together through food.
For years, Porowski has helped transform lives on Netflix’s “Queer Eye,” using meals as an entry point to deeper conversations about care, vulnerability and connection. Now, in an exclusive interview with Entertainment Now, the food and wine expert says he’s channeling that same philosophy into a new collaboration with Bob’s Red Mill — one rooted in small, meaningful acts of kindness.
Inside ‘Queer Eye’ Star Antoni Porowski’s Little Free Bakery Partnership
The reality star’s latest partnership draws inspiration from the growing Little Free Bakery movement, modeled after Little Free Libraries, encouraging neighbors to share homemade baked goods within their communities.
“What immediately resonated with me is how simple and human it is,” Porowski said. “Food has always been how I connect with people – it’s how I show I care.
He continued, “Food isn’t just fuel, it’s a connector. It strips away the barriers to one generous gesture, ‘I made this and thought of you.’ There’s something incredibly grounding about that kind of quiet kindness.”
Porowski added the initiative feels like a natural extension of what he has witnessed time and again on “Queer Eye”: food’s unique ability to open people up.
“On ‘Queer Eye,’ I’ve seen over and over again how food can open people up to connections,” he explained. “We’re living in a time where people are more connected digitally than ever, yet many feel more isolated in real life. This movement is about changing that in a way that everyone can do — no pressure.”
The campaign also emphasizes the concept of “Moregetherness,” a philosophy centered on easing loneliness through shared experiences. For Porowski, that idea reflects how his own understanding of community has evolved.
“Earlier in my career, community felt like the people right in front of me,” he said. “Now it feels much broader — it’s neighbors, audiences and even quiet connections you don’t always see. I’ve learned that community is built through consistency and care, not only grand gestures. The smallest acts often create the deepest bonds.”
Antoni Porowski’s Next Chapter: From ‘Queer Eye’ to National Geographic Travel Series
Now that “Queer Eye” has officially come to an end after ten seasons, Porowski is expanding beyond the familiar Fab Five format with a new National Geographic series, “Best of the World,” which will follow him exploring food, wellness and culture in cities including Paris, Mexico City, London and New York.
“My upcoming series with National Geographic, ‘Best of the World,’ is one that fits this ethos that I’m particularly excited about,” he said. “In it, I get to explore food, places to stay, wellness, and hidden corners of four cities… and meet the people who make the magic happen.”
The project, much like his previous Nat Geo collaboration, “No Taste Like Home” — reflects a shift toward slower, more immersive storytelling that mirrors his personal priorities.
“Right now, I’m really focused on projects that feel aligned with who I am and how I want to show up in the world,” Porowski said. “I’m drawn to work that encourages kindness, presence, and togetherness.”
Whether he’s leaving baked goods for neighbors in a community box or discovering hidden culinary gems abroad, Porowski sees a common thread tying everything together.
“Food is such an easy way to open the door,” he said. “It’s warm, it’s human, and it lowers the stakes.”
