Enjoy the Best of Park City - Riverhorse Provisions

GOURMET ON THE GO

The historic Imperial House at the top of Main was impeccably renovated last year and is now home to Riverhorse Provisions. Riverhorse on Main's co-owner Seth Adams is responsible for the revival of this historic land mark. However chef Mark Peterson has taken RHP on as his baby, and transformed the Imperial House into a gourmet cafe/market, truly unique to Park City. Recently I got to sit with Mark and talk about how RHP is one of the best of places to Enjoy Park City.

How long has RHP been open?
Almost a year, we opened last December. And we had quite an eventful month. Upstairs in the market shortly after the new wood shelves had been stained the rags used spontaneously combusted inside a garbage can starting a fire in the middle of the night. Consequently destroying new product. And after quickly recovering from the fire, and re-stocking the shelves, we were rented out for Sundance and RHP was turned into a lounge. So now you will always find well stocked shelves, as we have had lots of practice.

What kinds of items do you carry in the market?
All kinds of great products, everything from diapers to gourmet Hot Carrots (pickled carrots, many locals favorite, and now mine). I have found so many unique products in markets across the US, and brought them here to Park City. People from all over can find items here they usually only find at specialty markets at home. Another big hit on the shelves here at the market are the gourmet bitters. Bartenders are lining up to get their hands on what is the largest and only selection of cocktail bitters in the Park City area. I have found that a lot of second home owners pop in to stock their pantry, and need anything from Tylenol to Annie's Mac and Cheese. And if you don't see something you need, let us know. We will get it in.



Tell me about some of the pre-made dinners in the cooler?
These are great! It's a way to take home some of your favorite Riverhorse dishes and enjoy them at home. All ready to go, you just take them home and heat them up. Among the favorites like Chicken Pot Pie, you can also get picnics to go. We have pre-packed picnic baskets available (with 24 hours advance notice) such as our famous Grilled Tenderloin which is a grilled filet with truffle mustard, and comes with promontory cheddar, fresh backed rolls, baby greens, and of course chocolate cake (and that is just one of 8 picnics to choose from).

Ok, now Im hungry. We have to talk about your menu here at RHP?
Where to begin... Our breakfast menu is served until 2pm everyday, and has several egg dishes, polenta french toast with maple cream, and fresh baked buttermilk biscuits with gravy, just to name a few (I personally love the brisket plotenta hash). And that is the breakfast menu! We have an amazing Green menu to choose from, and our Main dish menu is outstanding. We have bison burgers, home-made Rubens, fish tacos, all kinds of delicious Main dishes to choose from. And there is a Small Bite section, Sweet section, Soup section, and even Poutine. We like to give you plenty of options here at RHP.

What makes RHP unique?
Well not only do we have products to stock your pantry, and enough food to feed you for days. But we have an incredibly stocked meat case with everything from steaks to fresh sea food. People come in and need a brisket for a family party, I am able to get them a quality brisket to take home and use in a favorite family dish. With our connections from Riverhorse on Main we have the capability to get quality meats and seafood for our customers. RHP is more than a cafe/market. We have a beautifully renovated condo on the upper floors that can be rented nightly (and it is absolutely beautiful). You can throw a dinner party for 30 right upstairs. With our kitchen here in the cafe/market, we can make a gourmet dinner for 30, bring it upstairs and serve out of the kitchen of the condo. We have had bridal parties that had caviar and champagne, wine pairing parties, to large families on ski trips that stay for a few days. We have capabilities to make almost anything happen here at RHP.
