About EATSS

Originally home to more than 25 nations, Minnesota is steeped in American Indian roots. Today, we are excited to bring back a night of total immersion in Native culture, with art, food, discussion, and music from Indigenous creators and artisans.

On the cusp of Native American Heritage Month, this one-night-only event aims to bring together the tradition and diversity of Native culture and expression, served to you at the esteemed Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis.

100% of proceeds are used to provide scholarships to AI/AN students, courtesy of the American Indian College Fund, to foster the next generation of Indigenous leaders.

Featured Chefs

Community, Food, and Artistry Intertwined

Immerse yourself in millennia of Native cooking traditions, and indulge your tastebuds with a full-course meal from the best Native chefs in the country.

Chef Andrea Condes (Murdoch)

ANDEAN CHEF

Chef Andrea Murdoch is an Andean Native born in Caracas Venezuela. Murdoch is using food to trace her own culture while educating the public about the expansive world of Indigenous food systems. After being classically trained as a pastry chef at The Culinary Institute of America, Murdoch started exploring Indigenous flavors and origins independently for her business Four Directions Cuisine, LLC which launched in Denver, CO., in November 2017.

The four main pillars of her business are sourcing locally, sourcing Indigenously, education and community work. In Murdoch’s interpretation of Indigenous cuisine, she starts cultural conversations and serves up her firsthand experiences in the form of food.

Four Directions Cuisine is available for professional and Indigenous education events including keynote speeches, lectures, and demonstrations. Other available services include private catering, wholesale and retail sales.

Chef Anthony Bauer

TURTLE MOUNTAIN BAND OF CHIPPEWA

Chef Bauer (Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa) is the Economic & Workforce Specialist with the North Dakota Indian Affairs Commission and owner of Traditional Fire Custom Cuisine.

With over 25 years of experience in the food service industry, his training includes a degree in Restaurant Management as well as certificate classes from the Culinary Institute of America. His professional work includes fine dining, menu development, restaurant design, employee training and retention along with multi-unit management. Chef Bauer has opened 13 restaurants throughout his career.

Growing up in a family that loved food and tradition inspired Anthony to open Traditional Fire. Chef Bauer enjoys using traditional ingredients and giving them a modern twist. He hopes his work will inspire Native youth to explore the culinary field and become creative leaders.

Chef Bradley Dry

CHEROKEE

Chef Bradley Dry (Cherokee) has been a professional chef for twelve years, cooking traditional Cherokee dishes from healthy, local ingredients. Growing up in Oklahoma and based in Tulsa, his family inspired him to cook, as it was their tradition to cook together with everyone helping, under the guidance of his grandmother – which is where he learned most of what he knows about navigating a kitchen!

Chef Dry’s goal is to bring happiness and community to those who enjoy his heartfelt food – and he specializes in traveling to prepare food for special events and people, including Powwows, Folklorama and the cast and crew of Reservation Dogs.

Ultimately, Bradley hopes to one day own his own restaurant, which he will name Elisi, the Cherokee word for grandmother.

Proudly Supporting Students of IAIA

We are thrilled to get to host some extremely talented emerging artists from the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA), one of the TCU’s we are honored to support.

These artists believe deeply in carrying forward the beautiful traditions of American Indian artwork, infused with modern techniques and their own unique perspectives.

These artists are up and coming and on the rise quickly, and we are fortunate enough to bring them together to share their voice with all of you. All proceeds from their art go directly back to the artist to help them share their work with as many people as possible.

Join the artists for a special showing, where you can ask questions, hear their stories, and even take a piece of the culture home with you.
