Meet the Chefs feeding the Timberwolves

Chef Gavin Kaysen and Rudy Gobert of the Minnesota Timberwolves

Andrew Zimmern and Gavin Kaysen are the winning team behind KZ Provisioning, which provides the food that helps fuel the Wolves from practices to playoff runs

It takes a lot of fuel to power a winning team.

Thermoses of bone broth to stave off the late-night munchies. Protein balls for quick bites, and oranges for recovery. Sweets that satisfy but still keep sugar in check.

That’s all on the menu for the likes of Naz Reid, Rudy Gobert and Anthony Edwards.

The Timberwolves, and other elite Minnesota athletes, get their fuel from KZ Provisioning. The company, founded by two chefs, Minneapolis restaurateur Gavin Kaysen and food TV host Andrew Zimmern, crafts every meal and snack with performance in mind, from training to playoffs.
