Tupelo Honey's Elizabeth Sims confirms officially:
The Asheville-based restaurant will open in early December, if things go according to plan, in the former Pewter Rose spot in South End. Coolest detail? They're adding an elevator, so diners won't have to climb those intimidating steps (and those who can't climb will be able to go).
The menu will be the same as the original's, but the decor will aim to be Charlottean, said Sims, marketing director for the business, owned by Steve Frabitore. He bought the restaurant (which opened in 2000) in 2008 and has since opened a second Asheville location (on the south side) and ones in Knoxville (2012), Greenville (S.C., in June) and plans to open in Chattanooga in September.
"We try to take the fun, whimsical essence of our brand into the new market," said Sims. "We want to be a Charlotte Tupelo Honey (and) we are honored to be in (the former Pewter Rose) location."
Details to come. And just so I'm not the only one humming for the rest of the day: This.

Wonderful to see Tupelo Honey joining the Charlotte culinary landscape.
When I first moved to Charlotte in 2007, then visited Asheville that fall, I wondered why Charlotte didn't have more unique, boutiquey type restaurants like I enjoyed in Asheville. So much has changed since then with options like Harvest Moon Grille, Pure Pizza, and Papi Queso pushing the culinary frontier.
Now we have a little bit of Asheville in spirit and name right here in Charlotte.
Welcome to the QC, Tupelo Honey!
A step in the right direction for Charlotte food....
Welcome Tupelo
LOVE THC! It is a must-stop each time we head to Asheville. Nice addition to the Charlotte restaurant landscape.
Welcome to the hood.....we're glad you decided on Dilworth/Southend.
Great. One more place for yuppie hipsters to congregate.
Can't wait! BUT please be your Asheville sense of being....not Charlotte! Your charm is endearing and the food great!
I just read the Asheville menu... when can I reserve a seat for the Charlotte opening ?!
EXCITED!! LOVE your Asheville location. Can't wait for Charlotte's to open!
So glad you will be here in Charlotte and VERY happy you saw the need for an elevator in that building!! Cant wait!!
@Tom Kerr, why so curmudgeon-y?
This now will give me reason to find another place to eat in Asheville. I probably need to venture out more when I'm out there anyway.
They have a really good cookbook too. Lots of doable recipes for a home cook.
LOL! No doubt!
