Antoni Porowski trades his usual Queer Eye digs for the rolling hills of Italy as he joins Justin Theroux on a culinary quest. In “Justin Theroux’s Italian Quest,” the pair sets out to uncover the roots of a cherished family pasta dish.
This episode isn’t just about the food, though; it’s about the stories and history woven into every bite. As Justin connects with his Italian heritage, we see the personal side of food, how a simple recipe can become a powerful link to the past. Expect mouthwatering shots of regional specialties, from farm-fresh eggs to freshly harvested clams, as Antoni and Justin immerse themselves in the local food scene.
The episode chronicles the journey of Justin’s family dish across the Atlantic, a reminder that food is more than sustenance; it’s a story, a tradition, a piece of ourselves. And with a lineup this season that also includes Awkwafina, Henry Golding, James Marsden, Florence Pugh, and Issa Rae, there’s plenty more where that came from.
No Taste Like Home airs Sundays at 9:00 PM ET/PT on National Geographic.
