For Brittany Fink, leftover event food does not have to end up in the trash. It can become a surprise for college students walking down High Street, a viral TikTok video and an unexpected way to connect with the Morgantown community.Fink, owner of Brittany Ann Events, began bringing leftover pepperoni rolls and other event food downtown in May. What started as a simple idea has gained millions of views online, with students now recognizing her when she arrives with free food.“The intent was never to go viral,” Fink said. “It was just kind of, let’s have fun with this.” The idea came from Fink’s drive home from weddings. Passing through downtown, she often saw students out at night while thinking about the food left over from the events she worked. When a bride had extra pepperoni rolls, Fink asked if she could take them downtown rather than let them go to waste.
