Mario Batali and Joe Bastianich have settled a class action labor lawsuit out of court, ponying up $5.25 million. The money will go to employees who worked at the duo's restaurants between 2004 and 2012. Bastianich swore up and down that settling the suit was out of the question saying, "We're going to fight this to every inch of the law, because we know we're right." Perhaps not. [Eater NY]
