Table 21

I am beyond bummed right now. I just called Volt, the restaurant in Frederick, MD that's owned by Bryan Voltaggio who was the runner up on Season 6 of Top Chef, to make a reservation for JUNE for Table 21. Table 21 is located in their kitchen, seats 4 people and serves a 21 course dinner. If you have a few minutes, please click here to read about a guy's experience eating there because you will feel my pain when I tell you that Table 21 is booked through NEXT YEAR. You have no idea how sad I am. I was looking forward to an amazing dinner, a night out with Bill sans Audrey and most importantly, celebrating our 5 year wedding anniversary. We are already having to pass on a Hawaiian vacation to see our good friends get married that same month so this was to be our consolation prize. ARGH!

As I'm sitting here thinking of alternatives, maybe we'll head to Cleveland and hit up Michael Symon's (Food Network Iron Chef) restaurant Lola or Chicago for Rick Bayless' (Top Chef Masters winner) Topolobompo or Art Smith's (Top Chef Masters) Table Fifty-Two. It could also be fun to drive down to Kansas City and just pig out on all the BBQ we can handle. *SIGH* I guess we have some time to plan now.....
