Relish Kitchen & Wine Bar To Close May 14

May 4, 20161 min read

An email sent out from Chef/Owner Stephen Hurd with Relish Kitchen and Wine Bar today stated the following:

It is with mixed emotions that I will be closing Relish Kitchen and Wine Bar. We will be open and only serving dinner until Saturday, May 14th. It has been a pleasure preparing and sharing my food and wine pairings with you. Yet, all things must come to an end and I have decided to pursue another opportunity closer to family. I would like to thank you for your patronage and support. I hope you have enjoyed Relish as much as I have.

Relish the moment,
Chef Stephen

Hurd attended Johnson and Wales culinary school in Charleston, South Carolina then worked at the famed Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. for a short time. In 2004 he moved to Tucson where he worked as Clubhouse Manager at Tucson Country Club. In addition, Hurd is a professional ice sculptor.

Relish Kitchen and Wine Bar opened on March 23, 2013, taking over the space that previously housed Create Cafe.

@Dedicatedgf is for sale, but it’s not closing. The Midtown bakery at 4500 E. Speedway Blvd. will continue normal operations into 2027 and is accepting holiday orders.

Owner Jennifer Kinkade announced the listing on Instagram, explaining that rising operating costs and accumulated debt have made it difficult to sustain the business, despite steadily increasing year-over-year sales since 2020. The sale includes the business, recipes, lease and equipment. Kinkade is also open to a partnership or angel investor. The buyer would not assume the bakery’s existing debt.

Dedicated offers an entirely gluten-free facility with vegan and dairy-free options, including pastries, bread, cookies, pies and custom cakes.

Interested buyers can email jen@dedicatedgf.com. Customers can continue placing holiday orders as usual.
