Meet Executive Chef Bryan Voltaggio
At Visitation Hotel, we had an uncompromising vision for our restaurant. In our search for an Executive Chef, we knew we needed someone truly remarkable: a culinary visionary with a passion for excellence and a deep understanding of local cuisine. Even so, while seeking an individual both outstanding and steeped in local tradition, we didn't anticipate being as fortunate as we were.
Wye Oak’s Executive Chef is Frederick native Bryan Voltaggio—noted author, pilot, James Beard semifinalist, and reality cooking show star.
Chef Voltaggio’s hospitality career began as a busboy at a local hotel. He soon found his way to the kitchen at the young age of 15, and subsequently pursued his culinary passion at the Culinary Institute of America, graduating at just 23.
