Bryan is chef and partner at VOLT, a three-star fine dining establishment in his native Frederick, Maryland. He was classically trained at the Culinary Institute of America and was a protégé of celebrated chef Charlie Palmer.
Bryan first fostered his passion for cooking during childhood, when his meals included produce harvested in the family garden.
He has since become a strong advocate for meats, seafood, and produce that are local, sustainable and organic.
Bryan says "through our choice of ingredients we become engaged in more than creating a great dining experience, but in supporting local agriculture."
