When is a diner not a diner? The correct answer is usually, "when the chicken isn't the duck." This time, however, it's when a former Top Chef contestant converts what looks like a former showroom of some sort into a "classic, American diner". Bryan Voltaggio of Top Chef and Volt fame has expanded his empire in Frederick, MD by opening up Family Meal in a surprisingly industrial part of town. The whole place looks like a gussied up diner but with the obvious Volt connections from the PBR on the menu to the service staff's uniforms (jeans and Chucks). So, on my way home from Ellicott City, I took a slight...um....wide detour through Frederick and got some lunch at this newly opened 'elevated' diner.
