A CONVERSATION WITH CHEF GAVIN KAYSEN

I heard Chef Gavin Kaysen speak at Terroir Symposium in Toronto. Terroir's program has many compelling speakers on topics relating to food, but it was the passion in Chef Kaysen's voice when speaking about his Ment'or BKB Foundation that had me intrigued. When I found out his restaurant was in his hometown of Minneapolis, I was excited about adding a bit of culinary tourism to my trip.
