Celebrity chef Mario Batali has waived his right to a jury trial and is opting to have a judge decide his fate in his sexual misconduct trial in Boston.

Batali confirmed the decision to Boston Municipal Court Judge James Stanton as the trial opened Monday morning.

Lawyers for Batali didn't comment ahead of the start of trial Monday in Boston Municipal Court. The chef's lawyers have previously said the charge is without merit. The 61-year-old was once a Food Network fixture on shows like "Molto Mario" and "Iron Chef America." But the ponytail-and-orange Croc-wearing personality's high-flying career crumbled amid sexual misconduct allegations.
