The Original Taste 2018

More than 30 of the Valley’s finest restaurants participated in The Original Taste at the Scottsdale Waterfront on April 28. The eateries served libations and cuisine to attendees. Proceeds from the event help fund local youth programs around the state.

With the support of presenting sponsor Chas Roberts and other sponsors, in addition to the restaurants, Executive Council Charities grossed a record-setting $550,000 through the event. The organization will award more than $2 million this year to local charities.
