Pete Evans made a low-key outing as he headed out on a coffee run on the morning of his 51st birthday on Thursday.
The disgraced celebrity chef, who stepped back from the limelight after backlash to his controversial Covid views, was spotted grabbing some hot drinks in North Bondi.
He cut a casual figure in grey camouflage cargo trousers and a black hoodie, which he styled with a pair of chunky workboots.
Pete continued to show off his bold new hairstyle after shaving his silver locks into a dramatic mohawk-style mullet late last year.
The former MKR star sported a black baseball cap featuring branding for his wellness retreat Evolve Sanctuary as he grabbed his hot drinks to takeaway.
The outing came on the morning of his 51st birthday as he visited Sydney from his rural base near Byron Bay and Coolangatta for the day.
Pete runs Evolve Sanctuary with his wife Nicola Watson after stepping back from public life after sharing his controversial views about Covid-19 and wild conspiracy theories.
He has assumed a low-profile since he was dropped by 15 sponsors and companies in the space of 48 hours in November 2020, after posting a neo-Nazi meme on social media.

He has faced a string of controversies over the past few years for his controversial views about Covid-19 and bizarre conspiracy theories.
The once-popular TV star attracted scrutiny for peddling anti-vaccine conspiracies and was fined $25,000 for spruiking a light machine he claimed helped cure Covid.
In May 2020, it was announced that Pete had parted ways with Channel Seven after ten years as a judge on My Kitchen Rules alongside Manu Feildel and guest judge Colin Fassnidge.
It effectively marked his break from the mainstream after years of flirting with off-the-wall ideas during his tenure at the network.
Free from the contractual constraints of mainstream network television, he began spouting his non-scientific beliefs about vaccines and the Covid-19 pandemic on social media.

In July 2020, Pete sparked outrage when he falsely claimed Covid-19 was a ‘f***ing hoax’ and that the pandemic ‘doesn’t compare to what is happening in the world on a large scale’.
In May 2021, he was slapped with a $80,000 fine for trying to cash in again on Covid by flogging more fake treatments online.
It was the second time he ran foul of authorities after previously being fined $25,000 for trying to sell his so-called BioCharger for $15,000 apiece on Facebook.
