I hate to hear this- my son use to always watch his show when he was younger. I hope it all works out and he learns from this lesson that you should never drink and drive.

Celebrities some times think they are above the law, but they are not. Drink and drive is a very serious matter.

It is kind of a big thing with the famous chefs to drink. Julia Child and whoever. You don't need to be a brain surgeon or rocket scientist to know that driving a yellow sports car in NYC is going to get some attention. Maybe some publicity stunt that is easy to get the police to help out with. Who knows with these people. Certainly got him on the news. Maybe he wants to be like Lindsey Lohan.
