Events at Platform by the James Beard Foundation will be made possible by funds received from a Summit County Restaurant Tax Grant. Sixteen PCARA members submitted applications, and a selection committee consisting of PCARA Board Members and representatives of the Park City Chamber Bureau, Summit County Tax Grant, and the Utah Office of Tourism assisted in choosing the winners.

Alongside Good To Go by JBF, a unique food kiosk where innovation meets sustainable, ethically sourced, delicious food in a rotating fast-casual menu, both entities are the physical manifestation of the Beard Foundation's Good Food for Good® mission.
