Toby Young Top Chef Judge Hit by Automobile

Some people don’t like Toby Young as a judge on ‘Top Chef,’ but they’ll certainly feel bad for him now. Last week the writer was hit by a car while riding his bike, he explains on his blog.

“No nerve damage and brain seems to be functioning okay, but hopes of becoming a male supermodel have now been dashed,” he writes, linking off to a photo of the damage on his Twitter account.

According to Young, he was riding around in London at 12:30 AM when he was struck. “I saw a car about to pull out of a side street. I slowed down, trying to figure out if he’d seen me. He didn’t move so I assumed he had and was letting me go ahead. I duly cruised past and he pulled out, knocking me off,” he describes the accident.

Young is a well-known British writer, but is most famous in America for his role as a very-critical judge on ‘Top Chef.’
