Mario Batali was spotted out for the first time after four women came forward to accuse him of sexual misconduct earlier this month.
Almost a week after releasing a statement apologizing for the allegations made against him, the celebrity chef stepped out for lunch in New York City.
According to Us Weekly, Batali was accused of sexual harassment in a report by Eater published on December 11th.
One female chef said that Batali inappropriately touched her breasts at an event.
Three other female former employees accused the Iron Chef America star of inappropriate contact.
