Mario Batali orders 200 pairs of orange Crocs shoes

NEW YORK, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- U.S. celebrity chef and television personality Mario Batali told Details magazine he recently ordered 200 pairs of his favorite orange Crocs shoes.

Asked how many pairs he owns, the co-host of "The Chew" replied: "Probably 30. I just ordered 200 more because they're about to take orange out of the field. They made a special run for me before they retired the color."

"They're gonna stop the Mario Batali orange!" he added. "It's preposterous! But they're doing pretty well without me. Nothing lasts forever, baby."
