Anyone paying attention to Buffalo’s restaurant scene can tell you how fervently they are rooting for Bratt’s Hill Chef Darian Bryan’s as he prepares to compete in the season finale of Next Level Chef, Season 5. As Chef Darian charges forward, to hopefully snag the $250,000 prize, this city is along for the wild ride.
With recent news of Chef Darian’s latest investment into Buffalo’s culinary world – Reserve Steakhouse and Back of House Burger & I’m sure that he’s fighting even harder for that prize money.
