Listen, we all know Antoni Porowski has a heart of gold and cheekbones that could cut through a medium-rare steak, but his latest trip to Korea is giving us a full-blown moist-eye alert. Apparently, while filming with Awkwafina, our favorite avocado enthusiast got so overwhelmed by her family reunion that he basically turned into a human sprinkler. Sources say Antoni was so moved by the emotional landscape of ancestral connections that he almost forgot to critique the table setting. It’s a miracle the kimchi didn’t get extra salty from all those artisanal tears hitting the vat. Awkwafina was busy finding her roots, while Antoni was busy finding a waterproof mascara that can withstand the power of a sentimental monologue. We’re hearing the vibe was so 'intensely emotional' that the production crew had to start handed out life vests just to keep everyone afloat in the puddle of feelings. It’s tough being the world’s most sensitive foodie, but someone has to make sure we’re crying in the correct lighting.
