Voltaggio Brothers Go Viral

"Top Chef Las Vegas" pitted brother against brother, but the two finalists are now showing some brotherly love via the World Wide Web.

Bryan and Michael Voltaggio, the runner-up and winner of Bravo's popular reality-cooking competition, will star in a Web series focusing on their favorite ingredients, techniques and gadgets.

The videos will be posted beginning in January on the Voltaggio Brothers Web site, VoltaggioBrothers.com, "The Website for Food Lovers."

Bryan, 33, is chef and partner at VOLT, his critically-acclaimed restaurant in Frederick, Md. Younger brother Michael, 30, serves as Chef de Cuisine at the Michelin-starred the Dining Room at the Langham in Pasadena, Calif.

I hate them and hope they fail. Those two robots have zero personality and did nothing but put fellow competitors down.

I agree with you one hundred and ten percent. How I wish the judges could view what goes on outside of what they cook. Maybe they would change their minds on who they pick as a winner. Doesn't How You Play the game factor into anything anymore. Brian was a better "competitor" than his brother, yet Kevin did seem to provide dishes that seemed more inventive.

Frederick MD (where Mike's restaraunt VOLT is) is actually a pretty good food town and VOLT has been a great addition (although I gotta say that I didn't like it too much the first time I went about a year ago...but the place had just opened). Now that Mike is a big time celebrity I'm hoping he doesn't run for greener pastures.

People who are cruel and throw barbs at others have a mean streak that never goes away. Probably hurt little animals too.

Brian was a passive-aggressive ass that threw out jabs when it was convenient for him. Michael was an arrogant, vicious person that preyed on the weaker people (not just chefs) in his vicinity. He cursed at his fellow chefs (though he bitched at others for giving it back to him), acted high and mighty, and clearly is insecure in comparison to his brother (cause otherwise he wouldn't have had to talk about him so much).

I'm sure he did deserve to win, given he, his brother, Jen, and Kevin won virtually everything short of one (though I think Jen should have won the entire show), but as the person HE portrayed to the world, I couldn't stand him. Anything he cooked was completely overshadowed to the viewers by his vindictive behavior.

Read between the lines, lady.

I have watched all seasons and by far, I believe that Brian has been the most sincere and respectful than any other contestant. I hope that Brian goes far and that he gets to enjoy the good things coming to him.
