When a Food Network chef is arrested, the situation is ripe for humor, but the arrest of Juan-Carlos Cruz is no laughing matter. The Food Network chef doesn't work at Food Network anymore explaining why he was "very cheap" when it came to hiring three people to kill his wife off. Perhaps he was using no faxing payday loans to pay for the hit?
Arrested in Santa Monica is Food Network Chef
The Food Network Chef arrested, Juan-Carlos Cruz, should appear in a Santa Monica courtroom Monday morning. His plot of hiring three homeless people to kill his wife didn't work out so well when one of them turned him in. Identified as “Big Dave,” “Little Dave” and “Shane,” the 3 men described Cruz as “very meticulous” and “very cheap.” Right now he is being held on $ 5 million in bail.
Food Network chef arrested specializes in low-calorie cooking
Low calorie cooking is what Juan-Carlos Cruz made his public celebrity name off of. After appearing on a Discovery Channel Body Challenge show, Juan-Carlos Cruz dropped a significant amount of weight. Cruz used to be a pastry chef but changed his cooking focus to low calorie meals. The Food Network chef starred in Calorie Commando, a show dedicated to “replacing the junk in food with healthy alternatives.”

Part of weight loss industry was Food Network chef being arrested
The U.S. weight loss market is estimated to be worth more than $ 65 billion. The Food Network Chef arrested sold a cookbook recently as part of the industry. The "Juan-Carlos Cruz Calorie Countdown Cookbook" is on sale on Amazon for $ 7.49. At less than $ 8 a pop, this cookbook probably isn’t paying the bills, and Juan has hired himself out as a speaker and consultant.
