3. Chef Lynn Pritchard: Reopened Table 128 Lures Suburban Residents Back to Des Moines Dining Scene

After a nearly three-year hiatus, Chef Lynn Pritchard has finally re-opened his award-winning restaurant Table 128. His one-time suburban destination now draws those in search of his famed farm-to-table dishes to the Gray's Landing neighborhood of Des Moines proper. He’s good-humored about the extended timeline of this highly anticipated relaunch, in part because it has given him the time needed to ensure that every detail of the new space—from the menu to the way sound bounces— deliver the guest experience for which he is renowned.  Join us as we talk with the Iowa farm kid who learned to cook so he could eat something more than his father’s fried bologna sandwiches, turned CIA-trained award-winning chef, as he shares his trials and celebrations of (re)opening a restaurant in a post-Covid world.
