on Top Chef that is. Hopefully not Volt. I certainly called that one wrong. There was much disappointment and some disbelief last night. The let down was soothed by the fact that all of the final three were really top-notch chefs. As one of them said last night: on any given day anyone could beat the other two. Looking forward [...]

More Volt
At the risk of turning into the VNN (Voltaggio News Network) a source once removed from this writer confirms that brother Michael is in town for the viewing party. To me this indicates that Michael didn’t win and there is a high liklihood that Bryan did. We’ll see.

Volt Party
Was walking up Market Street yesterday and saw that they were putting up some big tents on Volt’s grounds for what I assume will be a viewing party for the Top Chef finale. Snapped this crappy picture with my cell phone. Fred’s mailbox has no invitations to the party! Even if I could somehow come up with [...]

Coal Fire Pizza- A Non Review
I really love pizza and I have talked about my fondness for the stuff here before. My strong preference is for thin crust New York style pizza. In fact it’s fair to say I loathe the Chicago deep dish style. So a couple of weeks ago while perusing HowChow’s excellent blog (which I have raved about before) I came across [...]

The other night Mrs. F and I were eating at Isabellas. While I felt guilty not trying something new so I could report on it here, it was a very rare date night so I wanted to make sure there were no disappointments. I have made no secret of my love for this place in the [...]

Current Top Chef Odds
You’ve got to love having Top Chef in Vegas. Where else are you going to have the bookmakers giving weekly odds on the contestants? They are updated following the week nine restaurant wars episode and Bryan is still in fourth. No surprise Kevin still holds the top spot. I wish I had access to the betting. It [...]

Volt Reservations
No- It’s not that I have reservations about Volt it’s getting them. My parents just tried to make a Friday night reservation at Volt and there was a six week wait! Fabulous. I wish Bryan, Hilda and the whole staff all the success in the world- it looks like they are getting some serious Top Chef buzz . [...]

Top Chef- Go Bryan
All of us in the Fred household have been following Top Chef religiously. Actually we have watched the show as a family since season 2. Since we TIVO it I have been ducking the front page of the Frederick News Post on Thursday mornings and my office is forbidden to discuss it in my presence. Of [...]

Credit where credit is due. Frederick Maryland Online scooped me on this one. Bryan Voltaggio owner of Volt retaurant, and a favorite of this site, will be a contestant on season 6 of Top Chef. Premieres end of August and I can’t wait. I wonder if he is filming now?
