Tupelo Is Now Open!

If the anticipation has been itching at you since you heard that beautiful brick building on Main Street was becoming a new restaurant, well wait no more. Tupelo, named after the briefly blooming honey producing tree, is now open. After digging a little deeper into their vision, food and team, being excited to try it is an understatement.

The food? “At tupelo, we’re celebrating globally inspired food, artisanally sourced and stunningly prepared. Our dishes pair full-bodied, flavorful ingredients in unexpected ways. Each is a testament to prized local fare and the small-batch producers who grow, distill, or raise it. We reach far and wide to compile carefully cultivated and startlingly luscious foods on your plate. And we enjoy the hell out of doing it—chargrilled Chilean octopus,Thai pickled tomato Nam Prik, in dishes that are decidedly American, tupelo Tupelo Park Citycelebrates what we love most about food: its ability to tell a perpetual story.” – tupeloparkcity.com.
