The men continue to drop like Dominoes. Dustin Hoffman & chef on "The Chew"

The chunky chef on the show "The Chew," who is married, has been fired for sexual allegations.

Dustin Hoffman is facing several sexual harassment (and one assault, I think) of 16-22 year olds. One was his daughter's bff. Hotel room. Shower & towel. You get the picture.

Haven't heard that Hoffman's lost any work, though. Yet.

Geez.

“new food” movement (getting everyone interested in the behind-the-scenes of restaurants and food prep and quality food in general), and he participated in or hosted many food shows over the years. I believe he was also one of the “Iron Chefs.” That’s too bad about Dustin Hoffman as well — I heard that story and it all sounds SO sketchy — going after his daughter’s best friend?! Ugh.

I like the tall blonde guy. He used to be on a fashion makeover show. But I'm not into food shows. Hate to cook! I just marvel at people who LOVE to cook. Why???? It's such a hassle and then you have to wash all those dishes.
