Billy Porter, Greek chicken with orzo and a fiery lime margarita

Nick and Angela welcome a fashion icon to Dish HQ. Born in Pennsylvania, Billy Porter was always destined for greatness. In 1992 he won the TV show Star Search, scooping the $100,000 prize ahead of a very young Britney Spears. He took his talent to Broadway and in 2013 won a Tony Award for his portrayal of Lola in Kinky Boots. In 2018, Billy played Pray Tell in the BBC2 series Pose, a role that earned him critical acclaim and a Primetime Emmy Award. He released his memoir, Unprotected, in 2021. Billy Porter is currently starring in Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club in London, alongside Marisha Wallace as Sally Bowles. Nick mixes a fiery lime margarita for Billy, while Angela whips up a delicious Greek chicken with orzo. Our trio sip champagne with their meal, a le mesnil blanc de blanc grand cru brut nv, chosen by the experts at Waitrose. Billy Porter is up there with the most entertaining guests we’ve ever had on Dish. He’s only been in the UK a few months, but he has some thoughts… On customer service at Christmastime and British cooks’ ‘subtle’ approach to seasoning. Billy tells some great stories about his early career and shares some beautiful sentiments about his amazing mother.
