A recent visit to Washington DC
for a private party hosted by www.StarChefs.com,
a precursor to their Rising Star Gala, was held at Chef Bryan Voltaggio’s Range
restaurant. Chef Voltaggio, definitely
qualifies as a ‘star chef’ with his Top Chef creds, his award winning Volt
Restaurant in Frederick, Range and Aggio in DC, and another Italian themed Aggio
restaurant located on the land locked side of the Power Plant Live in downtown
Baltimore. Chef Bryan Voltaggio had a
quiet moment to chat before all the guests arrived.
The hot topic for our discussion
is his newest restaurant in Baltimore, Family Meal, and the
concept is re-invented classic American diner fare with a nod to local
specialties, traditional comfort food and the merging of immigrant cultural flavor
profiles. This time Voltaggio has his newest restaurant on the harbor side of
Power Plant Live in the former Houlihan’s
space at the end of Pier 4. One can
expect to find Shrimp & Grits and Fried Chicken or a Soft Shell Crab
Sandwich. Come the warmer months enjoy al fresco dining at Family Meal with a
nice view of the harbor.
Family meal is close to opening,
still waiting on final permits and inspection but I would guess Family Meal
will be open mid-January or possibly sooner.
The Bagby Pizza Company, the first in the restaurant concepts from the
Bagby Restaurant Group that
brings you Ten Ten American Bistro, Fleet Street Kitchen, Cunningham’s and
Cunningham’s Café and Bakery announced back in November that they were going to
be expanding their fast-casual version of its Harbor East Bagby Pizza Company
restaurant. Hot off the press release, the first Bagby Pizza expansion will
take place at the Festival at Woodholme Shopping Center in Pikesville moments
off the the Beltway’s Reisterstown Road exit towards Owings Mills.
