Virtually unknown before he became the runner-up to his brother Michael on the television program, Top Chef, Bryan Voltaggio converted an old mansion into what is the best dining venue on the route between Baltimore and Chicago. There are three dining options: A more traditional à la carte menu is offered in the main dining room, while the chef’s kitchen gets a bit more creative with a different tasting menu each day. Then there is Table 21; eight counter seats where diners enjoy a 21-course extravaganza that includes cutting-edge creations like Chicken Parmesan - Parmesan broth noodles topped with tomato and basil dipping dots and fried chicken. The mix of cooking styles caused one reviewer to tell us, "Voltaggio’s food finds that sweet spot between creative and tasty."
