Eli Kirshtein has put in his notice at Eno restaurant to take a "guest chef" gig at Solo restaurant in NYC. Kirshtein, who made it almost to the finals of "Top Chef" this season, says he's not sure exactly how long the New York gig will last, but he plans to return to Atlanta and look for investors to open his own restaurant here.

I agree. He's most remembered on Top Chef for saying something catty about Robin for cryin' out loud. I can't remember any dish he made this season that people went nuts for. I'm sure he has talent, but what's the big deal?
