To honor international Christmas cultures, the Voltaggio Brothers have put together an eclectic menu that unites traditional Christmas dishes from all over the globe. They're starting things off with Greece's cherished Avgolemono Soup and celebrate their own Italian heritage with a Squid Bolognese. While these international traditions create an exciting new take for any home cook, the Voltaggios are also offering American traditions with a decadent Eggnog Creme Brulee that marries the classic French dessert with everyone's favorite holiday drink. It's a trip around the globe to celebrate Christmas in a way never imagined before.
Chef Nguyen Tran is traveling across the country in search of delicious dishes at incredible values, starting with a mouthwatering gourmet burger for less than a dollar at The Rockefeller in Los Angeles. Then he visits Hutchins BBQ, a legendary Texas barbecue institution known for their brisket and an all-you-can-eat deal that will leave you with meat sweats. In Seattle, Wash., Nguyen heads to List, an upscale Italian restaurant where everything on the menu is half price, including homemade truffle gnocchi and Chilean sea bass. In Austin, Texas, he satisfies his sweet tooth at Chez Zee, where an award-winning baker cooks up a sweet two-for-one dessert deal every night of the week.
