Celebrity chef Cat Cora was just served a hearty helping of justice — winning a $565,000 judgment against the shuttered Manhattan restaurant Fatbird for unpaid consulting fees.
The former “Iron Chef” sued the restaurant company in October 2017, claiming that its owner, Charissa Davidovici, hadn’t paid a dime of a $400,000 fee required to use Cora’s name, likeness and recipes for the Southern-themed restaurant.

The $565,000 judgment includes interest on the fee plus legal costs.

“This firm will pursue collection as proficiently and relentlessly as it pursued judgment,” he added.
