Bet he wishes he was channeling a bit more Iron Man than Iron Chef when shit went down. AWWW SNAP.

Viet Pham, an Iron Chef: America winner and Food Network Star contestant was at Scores with fellow chef Josh Skenes for his bachelor party, when a dude ran up to him and punched him, reports DNAInfo. Page Six has a few more details about the incident, which admittedly is still pretty vague as to why Pham got assaulted. “I was just standing outside and holding a bunch of coats and he just came up to me and hit me. I didn’t know the guy,” Pham, told The Post.

Pham suffered no major injuries, but his signature glasses were broken and his face was swollen (because duh). Pham lives in Salt Lake City, Utah and owns the restaurant Forage — we’re guessing this is a good story for all the Salt Lake City folk who worry that ~~Sex Criminal Boat~~ Manhattan is too dangerous.
