GRAHAM ELLIOT — GASTRIC SLEEVE SURGERY
Graham Elliot began working as a dishwasher and busboy when he was eighteen. He attended culinary school and started working at five-star restaurants immediately after he earned his degree. From a five-star restaurant in Texas, Elliot went on to work at Vermont’s The Jackson House Inn & Restaurant, where he was named one of “Best New Chef’s of 2004” by the Food & Wine Magazine. This recognition led to more opportunities, including opening his own restaurants. He has then served as a judge on Top Chef Masters and MasterChef.
The celebrity chef recently made headlines when he lost a staggering 150 pounds. He used to weigh 400 pounds, all thanks to gastric sleeve surgery— he looks fantastic now. Thankfully, the culinary star currently has lower levels of cholesterol and blood pressure after he stripped back his diet to that of fruits, vegetables, and lean protein.
