The live show featuring celebrity chef, Roy Choi, will benefit Pa. hospitality employees 

Harrisburg University Presents will host a live virtual cooking show featuring four renowned Pennsylvania chefs and celebrity chef Roy Choi to benefit hospitality employees across the state adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic at 7 p.m. on Jan. 26.

“Just a Taste, The Great Pennsylvania Cooking Show,” presented in partnership with Dauphin County, will be broadcast live online at Harrisburg University presents’ website, www.HUConcertSeries.com, and at HU Presents’ Facebook page @HUPresents.

Viewers can tune into the show for free and donate to the Pennsylvania Restaurant & Lodging Association’s (PRLA) Hospitality Assistance Response of PA (HARP) fund during the event.

“The hospitality industry is hurting desperately and financial support from the government is lacking, leaving hundreds of businesses and thousands of employees without a safety net,” said John Longstreet, President & CEO of the PRLA. “We are grateful to the organizers of ‘Just a Taste’ for contributing event proceeds to HARP so we can continue providing relief to frontline hospitality workers who have been impacted by COVID-19, through no fault of their own.”

Roy Choi, co-host of the popular Netflix series, “The Chef,” will share his talent from California and will participate in a question-and-answer session during the show.

Other participating chefs include:

Frank Schofield, Harrisburg University Director of Live Events and Media Services, and Joe Massaro, General Manager of the Hilton Harrisburg, recently appeared on abc27’s Good Day PA to discuss the event. The video is posted below:
