A CHEF LEAVES HIS MARK
Chef Voltaggio’s defiance and determination has propelled him to the top of his field. Working with our legendary tequila family, Michael’s hands-on collaboration in Jalisco and world-class palate help guide the flavor profile of Marcado 28. It was the master tequilero’s time-honored and labor-intensive approach to tequila that deeply resonated with him. As Michael says,
“I wanted to honor the family’s traditions while creating the highest quality product possible.”
MARCADO 28’S INKED AND ACCLAIMED VISIONARY
This Food Network star has garnered numerous accolades, including “Top Chef” winner, Michelin star recipient, recognized as Best New Chef by Food & Wine Magazine and earned accolades from GQ for Best New Restaurant. Michael also appeared on the cover of Inked magazine.
Michael holds the prestigious title of co-executive chef/partner at several highly successful restaurants, working alongside his equally talented brother, Bryan Voltaggio. In addition to the renewed Voltaggio Brothers Steak House at MGM National Harbor in Washington DC, Michael recently unveiled two groundbreaking projects in collaboration with his brother Bryan: Vulcania at Mammoth Mountain and Retro at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
If each tattoo tells a story, Michael Voltaggio is a walking library.
Of course, his earliest ink was linked to cooking. He had the Morton Salt girl tattooed on his left shoulder as a reminder, not to him but to the absent-minded line cook next to him, to “remember to SALT THE FOOD!” Like many, early in his career, he had to hide his ink in the Four-Star kitchens, where old-school chefs just didn’t get it. His drive and defiant spirit to be the best had him marked for greatness in the culinary world.
Michael is Marcado 28… original, bold and still making his mark as a world-renowned chef.
Michael continues to captivate audiences on popular shows across Warner Bros. Discovery Food Network, and he embarks on his third season of Bobby Flay’s “Bobby’s Triple Threat” in 2024. He continues to DEFY expectations by stepping into other realms, collaborating with renowned fashion designers, musicians, documentarians and artists, seamlessly blending culinary experiences across diverse genres.
