Although I know there’s been a bit of a controversy over how Queer Eye’s Fab Five has approached certain topics in their show (*cough* the episodes in Japan *cough*), they’re still pretty big names in the LGBTQ+ community. Jonathan Van Ness spoke at our school a few years ago, but I was wondering if y’all knew that the Cornell University Program Board is doing another event this Thursday featuring Antoni Porowski. I got recently an email about this, and since it looks like it has a cooking demo similar to the ones we’ve had in our class from guest lectures, I thought I’d share in case any of you were interested đ
Here are the details:
Cornell University Program Board (CUPB) is excited to present âCooking and Conversation with Antoni Porowskiâ, star of Netflixâs hit series Queer Eye for a conversation about his life, comedy, and food all while doing a cooking demonstration! Antoni will be coming virtually to Cornell on Thursday, December 3rd at 7 PM EST.
Antoni Porowski is a New York Times Bestselling Author and star of Netflixâs hit series Queer Eye. As the showâs food and wine expert, the self-taught cook brings with him a lifelong passion for food first cultivated through television, where he was captivated by culinary giants like Julia Child, Jacques PeĚpin, and Anthony Bourdain, and later honed in restaurants from Montreal to New York and under mentor Ted Allen, original Fab Five food and wine expert. Antoniâs first cookbook, Antoni in the Kitchen, was released in Fall 2019, debuting at #2 on the New York Timesâ Best Seller List. Born in Canada to Polish emigrants, Antoni is an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ+ rights everywhere, especially his familyâs native Poland.
