In this episode of TMHF, we chop it up with the maestro of Midwestern cuisine Chef Gavin Kaysen. From working in one of the best restaurants in the world to leading Team USA at the Bocuse d’Or, Gavin’s journey is part jazz solo, part business masterclass. We talk about his transition from chef to restaurateur, the soul behind Soigné Hospitality, the creation of KZ Provisions, and how The Synergy Series became a culinary mixtape of collaboration.
We get into playlists, plating, and the pressure of performance — and yes, there’s even a little “Big League Chew” energy in the mix.
This episode is a flavor-forward look at leadership, legacy, and the rhythm of running restaurants. Don’t miss it.
