Tupelo Returns to Park City!
For years, one of my very favorite Utah restaurants was Tupelo in Park City, the creation of Chef Matt Harris and his wife and business partner Maggie Alvarez. Unfortunately, the rent for the Tupelo building on Main Street was hiked sky high and Maggie and Matt were forced to close Tupelo, at least temporarily.
Well, I have great news: The award-winning fine dining Tupelo will reopen this fall in the space on Park City’s Kearns Boulevard that was previously home to Adolph’s.
“We’ve been waiting for the perfect time and opportunity to reestablish ourselves in Park City, and we are thrilled that time is now,” said Tupelo Partner Maggie Alvarez. “We are honored to once again be among Park City’s passionate local businesses, and we look forward to offering our renowned dining experience in our new, reimagined space.”
Stay tuned to Utah Bites for an opening date. In the meantime, I encourage you to visit Matt and Maggie’s outstanding Heber restaurant, Afterword.
