Bryan and Michael Voltaggio prepare for Battle of the Brothers

After appearing on Tournament of Champions, Bryan Voltaggio and Michael Voltaggio put sibling rivalry to the test in Battle of the Brothers, a new original culinary competition coming to discovery+. While the Voltaggio brothers have found success both separately as well as with combined projects, the pair always want to be the best in the kitchen. With this newest food television show, which brother will earn culinary supremacy?

Although some foodies would love to see the Voltaggio brothers go head-to-head in another culinary battle, this discovery+ show is a little different. For Battle of the Brothers, eight chefs compete to earn a guest chef spot at one of the Voltaggios’ restaurants. While the competing chefs are looking for victory, so are the Voltaggios, since they are mentoring the competing chefs.

As shared by Courtney White, President, Food Network, “The caliber of skill and adventure in the kitchen, combined with the competitive sibling rivalry between the Voltaggio brothers, plus the opportunity of a lifetime for an up-and-coming chef to win a guest residency at a Voltaggio restaurant, makes this an action-packed, must-watch event.”

What can viewers expect from Battle of the Brothers featuring Bryan and Michael Voltaggio?

At the heart of this food television show, it is a culinary competition. In some ways, the competition aspect is similar BBQ Brawl where Bobby Flay and Michael Symon sought BBQ supremacy through the battle of their teams. In this competition, the eight chefs are split into teams, mentored by each Voltaggio brother. Only one chef, and one brother, will raise their arms in victory at the end of the competition.

In the first episode, the eight chefs must create a dish inspired by one of the four seasons. While the creativity and execution of the dish is key, the chefs need to show their skills. This dish shouldn’t be pedestrian. Like any dish that comes out of the Voltaggios’ restaurants, a dish has flare but also tells a story. A plate that has been seen a million times over is not going to impress these brothers.

According to Bryan and Michael Voltaggio, “The level of talent, diversity and passion of the chefs in Battle of the Brothers is unrivaled. As we are looking to give the keys away to one of our restaurants, these chefs not only prove that they’re here to learn but that they also have a few things to teach us.”

While each episode will feature head-to-head battles, the show features a variety of culinary experts who will weigh in on the competing chefs talents and expertise. Featured judges include: “Eric Adjepong, Einat Admony, Jordan Andino, Esther Choi, Leah Cohen, Cliff Crooks, Sohla and Ham El-Waylly, Alex Guarnaschelli, Ilan Hall, James Kent, Judy Joo, Jeremiah Lawrence Stone, Christian Petroni, Erik Ramirez, and Fabian von Hauske.”

Battle of the Brothers featuring Bryan and Michael Voltaggio premieres on discovery+ on Thursday, June 17.
