Anthony Thomas

Chef Anthony Thomas is a private chef, author, media personality and healthy lifestyle advocate who takes pride in creating unique dishes that are not only tasty, but most importantly, good for you! A native of the DC metropolitan area, Chef Anthony’s life is a testament to perseverance and a commitment to making the best out of every situation, regardless of the circumstance.

Chef Anthony’s journey through food was propelled in 2006 when he was diagnosed with Arteriovenous Malformation, a rare, life-threatening brain condition. He was able to get back on the right side of his health after a risky surgery, and he attributes much of his great health and lack of recurring symptoms to eating nutritious food.

In 2009, Chef Anthony combined his newfound health focus with his longtime passion of cooking to launch a catering company that serves a range of clients and events. He’s also self-published a host of books, including ChefAntWow: Vol. 1 - A Collection of Recipes, Meal Prep is the New Leftovers, and two titles written specifically with kids in mind: Ashlyn Eats - a children’s recipe book, and Mommy, Daddy What Is This?, a fun coloring book. Chef Anthony’s culinary skills are widely sought after and he’s been featured by a host of media outlets, including Black Enterprise, Cuisine Noir and TV One’s Sister Circle.

He also makes a point to support and rally behind the recidivism and reentry community. After spending 2 years in prison, he turned his life around and has done a complete 18, with a primary goal of adding as much as he can to society - not subtracting.

Chef Anthony is passionate about using food to promote healthy living, and is working to build a culinary empire that rivals the greats! He works daily to promote the fact that healthy eating and life longevity go hand-in-hand, and looks forward to spreading his message through food around the world. When he isn’t cooking, he’s distributing hot meals and clothing to those in need. He is also a husband and father of a daughter.
