By Ron Petersen
Achef must be exceptional at what he or she does: Someone who can cook, balance nutrients and provide information about what is good for the human body.

Anthony Warrior, a citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, is a chef of traditional foods through his catering company.
“I have the opportunity to pass on my knowledge and reincorporate foods to the Great Plains, while reinventing foods into the traditional food diets,” Anthony Warrior said.
Warrior, who is currently the Human Resource Director for Nebraska Indian Community College, owns his catering business called Warrior’s Palate.
Over the last 13 years, the 46-year-old has been traveling around to different parts of the state and Iowa, where he is educating those about traditional ways of cooking food.
“I’ve been really busy after the pandemic and I am thankful for it,” Warrior said.
Warrior has worked with tribes across Oklahoma, in Florida, California and New York.
During his time of working as a chef at casinos in Oklahoma and on the east coast, Warrior was able to learn about the health benefits of nutritious foods, along with doing research to pass along the way.
“It was a really good opportunity to try different cuisines,” Warrior said.
Despite working his fulltime job at Nebraska Indian Community College, Warrior still has time for Warrior’s Palate.
Warrior cooks up any food request with those special requests, which includes dietary restraints.
