When we first posted about the fatties of Top Chef 6 we were't so sure about Chef Eli Kirshtein's real chub cred, but this video reveals all we need to know.

Dude is nice and husky, kinda confident/cocky in that cheffy kind of way, still love those glasses, food looks pretty good, too.

Best part is right toward the beginning with the closeup of his hands. I immediately thought "Goodness he has some fat hands" and then he immediately remarks about his "fat Mario Batali hands." Awesome.
