Table 128 owners named Restaurateurs of the Year
Husband and wife Lynn and Sarah Pritchard of Table 128 have been named “Restaurateurs of the Year” by the Iowa Restaurant Association. Jessica Dunker, president and CEO of the association, said the Pritchards quickly rose to the top of this year’s list of nominations. “Table 128 and its owners … exemplify everything an upscale casual independent restaurant should be,” she said. Other food professionals honored by the association this year include: Mike Holman, executive chef of the Two Rivers Hospitality Group in Des Moines (which includes Dos Rios, Big City Burgers, DSM Catering and Sidebar), who was named Chef of the Year; and Pamela Patton, owner-operator of Patton’s Restaurant & Catering, who won the Faces of Diversity American Dream Award.
