Just found out that Bryan Voltaggio will be one of the contenstants on this season's Top Chef which I think begins at the end of August. How exciting for us! His restaurant, Volt, has been quite the rage up here in Frederick , and he's been an active participant in many community events. Interestingly, his brother Michael who now lives in CA will also be on the show...Oh, the tension!!

Looks like we need a dining out lunch or evening up here before his fame skyrockets and we can't get a seat!

Also - the 30 year old exec chef from Abacrombie Fine Foods in Baltimore, Jesse Sandlin, will be on the show as will Michael Isabella, the Executive Chef of Zaytinya

Lots of hometown faves to root for!

Isn't it fantastic, Bryan is very talented and VOLT is a must visit!

Attending the tribute to Ellis Marsalis next Monday so need some recs.

Go to Marcel's - robert the chef/owner just got named "best chef" by the restaurant association of Washington. They also have a nice patio!
