To fight hunger in Utah, over 50 of Utah’s top chefs, restaurants and bakers will gather on Sunday, August 4, 2013 at Solitude Mountain Resort from 11:30 a.m. for VIP ticket holders and noon for general admission until 4 p.m. for the second annualTaste of the Wasatch.
Taste of the Wasatch is the state’s most popular culinary benefit. “Funding this year is more important than ever as demand for food continues to increase. One in five Utah children is food insecure or at-risk – meaning they don’t know if they will have food to eat or where their next meal is coming from.” says event organizer Karen Zabriskie. “And right now, hundreds of Utahns are struggling with hunger. These are often hard-working adults and seniors who simply cannot make ends meet and are forced to go without food for several meals, or even days.”
All of funds raised at Taste of the Wasatch will stay local and to benefit Utah Food Bank, Utahns Against Hunger, and TheOgden Weber Community Action Partnership. This enjoyable outdoor afternoon benefit is expected to raise nearly $125,000 to help fight hunger.Guests will enjoy live music (performed by The Staff) and a silent auction which includes weekend getaways, five-night stay at any All Seasons Resort Lodging, art, jewelry and fabulous dining experiences. Some live auction packages include the chefs themselves as they offer to cook a multi-course meal for you and eight of your closest friends.
Over 1,500 are expected to attend this gastronomic gala while enjoying fine cuisine from restaurants such as Stein Eriksen’s Lodge’s Glitretind, Log Haven, Deer Valley Resort, The Canyons, The Copper Onion, Plum Alley, Les Madeleines, Pallet Bistro, Aerie and more. The now famous Utah Bakers Dozen will showcase fine desserts from more than 15 of the state’s best pastry chefs and bakers. New restaurants teaming up to help the cause this year includeCaterina, Cucina Toscana, Del Mar al Lago, Luna Blanca Taqueria, Riverhorse on Main (back after six years),Vivace and Zest Kitchen & Bar.
