Is Chef Michael Voltaggio Poz?

I caught a 2018 episode of "Beat Bobby Flay," where Michael was a co-host with Daphne Oz.

The guy looked HORRIBLE. He looked so thin and sickly that I felt so sorry for him.

I know it's not drugs, because he was completely lucid and he spoke normally.

With all those horrid tattoos he has all over his body, he could have contracted it from a dirty tattoo needle. Or it could have been something else.

Poor guy.

He used to look very healthy in his earlier days as a chef...

Is that the guy from That 70s Show?

He was on Top Chef this last cycle and I thought the same thing. His brother looks the same but he looks horrendous. Sad

More likely heroin

Nope, definitely not heroin.

People on heroin are non-functional. They slur their words, and will fall asleep mid-conversation.

Michael was speaking normally, cracking jokes, and walking around talking about the contestants' cooking. He was completely coherent.

I tried to find the episode online, but I couldn't find it. He really looked gaunt and sick.

Eating disorder?

To this in 2015.

And now he's even thinner than he was in this photo.

He also always wears baseball caps now, which I find strange.

Probably Fibromyalgia.

I seem to recall the Voltaggio brothers had a rough childhood (abusive dad? Divorce?) and imo in their first appearance on Top Chef they seemed kind of reserved, guarded, almost stand offish (not much of a Reality TV personality). I am surprised that they still do TV show appearances, but then that sort of PR gigs get people into their restaurants.

Cancer?

He's an asshole with and asshole reputation in the restaurant business. A co- worker of mine worked with him for years. He said he was a total dick most of the time. He did say his food skills were amazing and that's why he stayed as long as he did.

The cute guy in the OP is Dewar's Ambassador Gabe Cardarella.

Who ever wrote upthread that the children will be white, are correct. I am of mixed ancestry, like Miss Markle. Same hair, skin coloring, etc. I do not have children, however, my siblings do. My siblings all married white partners, and their children are white. Some even have red hair and green eyes. One has blonde hair and hazel eyes.

The kids will not be a United colors of Benetton ad. They will appear Caucasian, with perhaps wavy or curly hair, at the most.

I find it interesting that the racists on this thread are talking shit about this young lady, while it appears that all of her “trashy” relatives, are white. You’re all a bunch of cunts, who no longer get laid.

It's surprising that Michael has never been linked with a woman.

Someone as good looking a "celebrity chef" as him, should have no problem finding one.

How hot would that be if he turned out to be into guys??

Good looking? Really?

Michael fucked Jen Carroll on Top Chef Las Vegas.

There's a Reddit thread where a number of posters suggest meth is the issue.

I know a guy who went on either the watermelon or papaya diet who looked like this. He lost a ton of weight and looked sickly.

You realize we're talking about the guy on the left, right?

by Anonymousreply 20May 19, 2018 11:54 AM

He's cute now that he's thin. When he was chubby - god no.

I hope it's not cancer.
