Antoni Porowski's latest series, No Taste Like Home, takes celebrities on a journey to their ancestral homelands, using food as a means to reconnect with their culture. The six-part show features guests like Florence Pugh and James Marsden exploring their heritage. One deeply emotional episode followed Awkwafina to Korea, a country she hadn't visited since she was a child for her mother's funeral. Porowski described the experience as intensely emotional, requiring significant emotional support for Awkwafina. He emphasized the need for sensitivity when guests grapple with personal issues like anxiety or grief. Porowski noted that navigating these sensitive moments while keeping viewers engaged is a delicate balance. The episode provided Awkwafina opportunities to connect with people from her own culture.
