Florence Pugh, Awkwafina and more discover ancestry through food in new NatGeo series

We’re getting a delicious new look at NatGeo’s “No Taste Like Home With Antoni Porowski.”

“As a son of immigrants, I know that food can tell you more about who you are and where you come from than you ever imagined,” Porowski said in the trailer.

Antoni takes six celebrities – Florence Pugh, Awkwafina, Justin Theroux, James Marsden, Issa Rae and Henry Golding – on an adventure to learn about their ancestry through food.

Porowski is mostly known for being the food expert on Netflix’s “Queer Eye” so he knows a thing or two about food and the bonds it can create.

“It’s a beautiful adventure to discover our past through the great connector that is food,” Porowski said in a statement. “I’m honored to go on this journey of self-discovery with new and old friends alongside National Geographic as we learn together about the ways different cultures celebrate food and experience their traditions.”

The episode breakdowns and premiere dates are below.
