INTERVIEW • A CONVERSATION WITH CHEF GAVIN KAYSEN // FOOD + DRINK, WORK, TRAVEL

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.

ARTICLE • THAT WAS A BUILDING - THIS IS MY PRACTICE // SMALL BUSINESS, WORK, COMMUNITY

Dr. Patrick Heagney never thought he would be opening a new dental office at the age of 57. He never thought his arts-inclined daughters would be so heavily involved in his dental practice. He never thought he would be modernizing his office and becoming an expert in fire insurance. An early morning call in the summer of 2004 changed all that.
