Anti-hunger group in Utah cuts ties to Taste of Wasatch food event, saying it never received the $50,000 it was promised

UAH made the break, said Executive Director Gina Cornia, because it has never received the $50,000 it was promised from the 2017 event.

“People gave money thinking it was coming to Utahns Against Hunger," she said, “and it didn’t, and that’s not OK."

This year’s Taste of the Wasatch is Sunday, Aug. 5, at Solitude Mountain Resort. Now in its 19th year, it has been a favorite event for many Utah diners and the culinary community. It brings together some of Utah’s top restaurants, chefs and bakers. The event attracts about 1,800 people each year who pay $110 for a ticket.
