Antoni from Queer Eye is opening his own restaurant

The ‘fast-casual’ eatery from the Fab Five’s foodie is coming to New York

Everyone’s fave master of the avocado salad Antoni Porowski has revealed his plans to open a restaurant in New York City.

In a live panel with the 92nd Street Y and the other Queer Eye cast members, he let slip some news of his plans for the fast-casual food concept spot.

“I’m all about, like, cheese and pork belly and decadence, and as a result of the increased vanity of being on camera all the time and working out and eating healthy, I’m developing a fast-casual food concept restaurant that I’m gonna be opening here in New York,” he said. 

The Fab Five food expert also talked about his forthcoming cookbook. He’s half way through his 100-recipe plan right now for the “culinary memoir”, but so far none include avocados – a fixture of his lessons on the popular Netflix makeover show. 

The second season of Queer Eye is now streaming in full on Netflix – the game changing reboot has its first woman and transgender subjects.
