The man on Main Chef John Murcko was one of the pioneers of Park City dining, working the ski town kitchens with Bill White and Eric Debonis. Then, as far as most media was concerned, he disappeared behind the private club curtain. Fortunately, he's back at the stove in Talisker on Main, the private club's public restaurant, and wowing diners with creations like lobster hush puppies, roasted corn soup with marcona almonds and buttermilk fried chicken. Okay, those may not sound like haute cuisine, but Murcko makes them so.
