Meet the Author: Kwame Onwuachi

Nigerian American chef Kwame Onwuachi is a James Beard Award winner (Rising Star Chef of the Year, 2019), a Top Chef finalist, a best-selling author, one of Food & Wine’s Best New Chefs, and a 30 Under 30 honoree by both Zagat and Forbes. Before the age of 25, he had lived in both Nigeria and the Bronx, joined a gang, slung drugs, sold candy on the subway, graduated from the Culinary Institute of America, worked on oil cleanup ships after the Deepwater Horizon spill, and opened an ambitious tasting-menu restaurant only to see it flop dramatically in less than three months. (He even found time at some point to debut a kitchen-proof nail polish collection and we have to admit, he has astoundingly beautiful hands for a professional chef.) All of which is to say, he had ample material for his memoir, Notes From a Young Black Chef, despite having published it at age 29. Now he’s back with a cookbook, My America: Recipes From a Young Black Chef, which he’ll discuss at the Orlando Public Library (downtown). 2 p.m., Orlando Public Library, 101 E. Central Blvd., 407835-7323, attend.ocls.info, free but registration required. — JBY

Antoni Porowski

Antoni Porowski is ready to serve in Orlando this week, as the Queer Eye host brings “An Evening with Antoni” to the Plaza Live. The City Beautiful scored the penultimate stop on the food and wine expert’s first-ever book tour (though it was delayed by COVID). Porowski’s road show features demos of recipes from his latest cookbook, Let’s Do Dinner, a New York Times bestseller. Although the show takes place just after Valentine’s Day (ah well), it’s themed around cooking for that special someone, so stash away a little romance for a few more days. Come with an empty stomach and stay for the entertaining tips and tricks that Porowski will have on the menu. 8 p.m., The Plaza Live, 425 N. Bumby Ave., plazaliveorlando.org, $25-199.
