Former ‘Top Chef’ Contestant Busted!
More DUI Busted! news from TMZ this afternoon … Top Chef season 2 runner up Marcel Vigneron got his ass arrested for alleged drunk driving this past weekend in SoCal. If memory serves, Marcel wasn’t very well liked by his Top Chef cohorts … somewhere Ilan (season 2 winner) is laughing his ass off while judge Tom Colicchio is prolly shaking his head in disappointment:
The most-hated bad boy in the history of reality cooking shows just spent some time in the cooler for allegedly consuming a little too much of the good stuff. Marcel Vigneron — the runner-up in “Top Chef” season two — was pinched early Saturday morning on suspicion of DUI off the PCH in Laguna Beach. Marcel was initially stopped for speeding, but after showing signs of intoxication he was given a blood test and was taken into custody. Bail was set at $2,500.
Apparently, the OC Register was the one who first reported this arrest. You know, Marcel was a bit of a jerk during his season of Top Chef but he was pretty good at his craft. Ah well, I guess we know what he’s been up to since his days on the show. I say, throw the book at him!

I SAW Marcel in Vegas in Feb and he was with chicks waiting for a cab (maybe he should have used a cab in So Cal!) and the chicks were so drunk they fell down on the velvet ropes and he did not help them up!!!
Just a little info there…
