“Queer Eye” food and wine expert Antoni Porowski is bringing his culinary creations from Netflix to the public.

Porowski revealed the secret venture in a “Queer Eye” cast interview with 92nd Street Y.

“I’m all about like cheese and pork belly and decadence,” Porowski says. “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.”

Porowski, who is known for his love for avocados on “Queer Eye,” also discussed his soon-to-be-released cookbook which surprisingly doesn’t feature avocados.

“It’s a 100-recipe cookbook. And I think — oh my God — not one of them has avocados in it,” Porowski says. “It’s turned, I realize, into my own culinary memoir, which I’m super excited about. I’ve submitted 50 recipes and I’m working on the rest, and I’m super excited for it to come out.”
