In a way, Saturday night’s Food Truck Face-off was less battle royale and more of a benefit for local nonprofits. Sure, a champion would emerge in the fourth annual event that features more than 30 food trucks. But the gathering — the largest in Utah — really was about raising money for homeless and low-income youths and families. Proceeds go to the Fourth Street Clinic, Volunteers of America, YWCA Utah and Utah Community Action.
