This Friday, we're leaving DC behind to drive to the quaint little town of Frederick, MD, for one purpose only: to dine at Volt, the restaurant of former Top Chef contestant Bryan Voltaggio. We're going to stay overnight and poke around Frederick on Saturday, which looks adorable.
I'm so excited for some girl time outside of the city. Have any of you eaten at Volt or been to Frederick? I'd love to hear your must-eats and must-do's!
Every time we drive by the Frederick exit on our way back to PA from VA, we think about stopping. One of these times we will! And, of course, Volt will be the agenda. Happy girls weekend!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever commented on your blog before (hmmm, actually I think I did when you started watching The West Wing, how's that going btw?), but the mention of Bryan Voltaggio was enough for me to write and say how jealous I am! Loved him on Top Chef and hearing about the success his restaurant has had since then. He and Michael are doing a barbecue tour of places in the U.S. and they were an hour away from me in Lockhart, TX, I'm so sad I missed them
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful birthday! I've been really wanting to try Volt, but that means leaving my DC bubble. Can't wait to hear about the meal.
ReplyDeleteWe ate at Volt for my birthday in October. The only thing that kept me from licking my plate was the fact that we were seated in the front window. It was so good! It was fun to watch everyone walk by and take photos too. Enjoy!
ReplyDeletei'm going to be entirely unhelpful in my comment and say i've never been to either but i want to go now! i'm hoping you'll have a follow up post because frederick is ridiculously cute looking. have fun :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I have wanted to eat at Volt since Bryan was on Top Chef, but we never make it up to Frederick. Can't wait to hear about!
ReplyDeleteNever commented here before but I love your blog(s). Volt was my birthday pick in October and it is wonderful! If the squash soup with scallop is still on the menu, you must try it. Enjoy Frederick, its very quaint and there's a bunch of fun shops to poke your head in and out of.
ReplyDeleteI'm anxious to hear how the food at Volt was and how your visit to Frederick went! Sounds like an amazing birthday gift to give yourself:)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter lives in Frederick and we visit there at lot. Volt is amazing. Also try The Tasting Room. Wander around downtown Frederick which is filled w/ sweet little stores and lots of fun places to eat, snack and discover. You're going to love it.
