Gavin Kaysen
"50 people who are changing the way we eat"
After a lauded early career at the highest-profile places, Gavin Kaysen made a move that had national food media wondering: Why Minneapolis? There was such a rush of enthusiasm as Kaysen opened his first restaurant, Spoon and Stable, that reservations broke records. Soon after came Bellecour, Demi, and Mara. All along, Kaysen has modeled what restaurant ownership can look like and how staffing operates. There's no question we have B.G.K. and A.G.K. eras in the Twin Cities.
