Anton has worked with legendary chefs who were pioneers of the Russian culinary avant-garde, such as Anatoly Komm and Adrian Ketglas. In 2016, Anatoly Komm entrusted Anton with overseeing the new Le Bazar restaurant in Suzdal, relying on his professionalism after his work in the Moscow restaurants "Varvary" and Anatoly Komm for Raff House.

In the spring of 2025, Anton and Maxim Polzikov opened the gastro-bistro "Multikultura" on Prechistenka, where Anton also serves as the head chef.
