In Santa Barbara, Celebrity Chef Cat Cora, was unfortunately cited for driving under the influence after what sounds like a very minor traffic accident took place, police have confirmed to TheSupremePlate.com. Chef Cat Cora, is scheduled to be arraigned July 26^th on one count of driving under the influence, a charge she will not likely face jail time for. Chef Cora is best known for her roles on Food Networks “Iron Chef” and Bravo’s “Around the World in 80 Plates.”

As sad as it is, reports are that Chef Cora's BAC was more than twice the legal limit, which was confirmed by 3 separate tests taken by field officers and at the hospital, before she was taken to a sobering center in Santa Barbara. Reports show that Chef Cora stated to have consumed 3 bottles of beer at the Cold Spring Tavern before rear ending a car on June 17th at around 6:15pm while arguing with her longtime partner Jennifer Cora.
