Today's guest is part of a highly successful food, beverage, and hospitality partnership that has been credited in helping transform the Des Moines bar and restaurant scene.

His "destination" restaurants/bars aren't exactly your traditional Iowa Supper Club story. We're talking about a group responsible for places like Fong's Pizza, Mullets, and El Bait Shop.

His two establishments the High Life Lounge and El Bait Shop really caught our attention. Bruning and his partners painstakingly built a patina'd Dive Bar from scratch and created a surreal space that transports you back to the late 1970's. It's a lot harder than you might think.
