Brian’s career started at the tender age of 22 when he was promoted to Executive Chef at the Pool and Yacht Club. During this time he was taken under the wing of Danish Master Chef Kaj Sorensen. Brian quickly became very popular with the members through his style of food that he learned from St.Paul College Culinary and Lake Elmo Inn.

One day at the club there was a new server that started that was very cute with spiky hair, it was love at first sight and her name was Mollie Murray.

9 Months later the couple moved to South Carolina where they both worked in 3 very popular restaurants. Family pressure brought them back to Minnesota and Brian was offered the position of Executive Chef at the AAUW’s College Club on Summit Ave. During this time Brian catered over 200 weddings and was featured in the Eat Section for the Pioneer Press.

In 2005 Brian’s brother Ken Rubenzer who was a Real-estate Investor, made the suggestion to Brian.
