The Bryan Voltaggio bobblehead doll was given to minor league baseball (and presumably Top Chef) fans at a Frederick Keys game in Frederick, Maryland July 28. The dolls, which were given to the first 1,000 people in the park, ran out in half an hour; attendance was more than double a normal Tuesday night's. Voltaggio also threw the first pitch, and his restaurant, VOLT, ran a concession stand. Voltaggio serving delectable goodies; Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho "Dipping Dots," Summer Truffle Popcorn, Soft Shell Crab Sandwich, Border Springs Farm Lamb Hot Dogs, Cheddar Bacon Burger, Pickled Fennel-Cucumber Slaw, Chocolate Covered Bananas, and Peach Cobbler.
A portion of the proceeds from the 'VOLT Concession Stand' went to the Keys Care Foundation. The Foundation is a funding program that honors non-profits who provide direct services to Frederick youth and young adults. It doesn't really look like him though, does it? Maybe more like Dolph Lundgren?
Chef Robert Wiedmaier’s Marcel’s Tops 2011 Zagat Survey Top Food in Washington, DC
The people have spoken (all 6,484 of them), and of the 1,219 eateries in the area, they have named Marcel’s in its eleventh year, by chef Robert Wiedmaier, the top restaurant for food in Zagat’s 2011 Washington DC/Baltimore Restaurant Survey which includes Northern Virginia, Annapolis and Frederick, Md., and the Eastern Shore. Marcel’s was also included in the top five restaurants for top service.
Marcel’s, where the labor-intensive classic cuisine demands a very high chef-to-dinner guest ratio, reflects Wiedmaier’s European heritage – in particular his links to Belgium. Born in Germany to a Belgian father and Californian mother [“a great cook – she could make anything from anything!”] he grew up close to the land, milking cows, helping with the slaughter of sheep, and everything else that was required on a real working farm. He has been involved with food—from the source—his whole life.
Billed as a Full-Circle Chef – from stalking a deer in a duck blind to waiting for a fish to bite— Wiedmaier gains a whole new appreciation by completing the cycle and preparing for dinner the very animal he came face to face with in nature. “It is about living the dream.." Chef states. BOOK A TABLE at MARCEL's DC
