The finale viewing party at Volt tonight

voltphoto.jpgI guess some people in Frederick aren't interested that brothers Bryan and Michael Voltaggio are among the three finalists on Bravo's reality show Top Chef tonight.

They won't be at the celebration (or, perhaps, pity party) being held at Bryan's restaurant, Volt. It's invitation-only, with some 250 people expected to attend. The restaurant will be open and the finalist will probably be cooking. ...

 

The Sun's Laura Vozzella will be there, with a report for us appearing in the paper tomorrow. However, Bravo won't let us send a photographer with her, which I find strange.

I understood why Bravo's PR person had to be on the line when I interviewed Bryan earlier in the season in case he let something slip, but it puzzles me why they don't want photos taken of a finale viewing party.

Update: Clever Editor Tim finally got photographic access to the viewing party, so there will be pictures in tomorrow's paper.

Perhaps because he is the winner and they will have their cameras there to capture footage for some Bravo show? I seem to remember them having a live reveal for the finale one season.

I read on the Las Vegas Weekly website (they do Top Chef odds every week) that "someguyinmd" owns a wine store in Columbia and shares a wine rep with Volt and the wine rep let slip that the order for tonight was "VERY heavy" on Champagne.
