Biography
Curtis Stone was born November 4, 1975 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Stone attended Victoria University in Melbourne before leaving to pursue a career in food. He started out cooking at The Savoy Hotel's 5-star restaurant in Melbourne before traveling through Europe with his best friend.
At 21, after three months on the road, Stone arrived in London with no money and no job. To gain experience in the kitchen, Stone volunteered to work for free at The Grill Room at Café Royal with chef Marco Pierre White. He was hired and remained for two years. Stone graduated to sous chef status at the Mirabelle, where he worked for two years before moving on to become head chef at White's flagship restaurant Quo Vadis. After trying his hand at TV on various British series, in 2003 Stone teamed up with fellow chef Ben O'Donoghue to star in Surfing the Menu, an Australian TV show in which the duo traveled the Australian coastline and cooked locally grown food.
Stone then made his U.S. television debut with his own show, Take Home Chef, on Discovery Network's TLC three years later. It was so successful that Stone signed an exclusive deal with NBC as their resident chef. He also appeared on The Biggest Loser. Stone competed on The Celebrity Apprentice as well. He took over as co-host of Bravo's reality show Top Chef Masters after its third season and co-hosts Around the World in 80 Plates, a culinary adventure show which also airs on Bravo, with Cat Cora.
In 2006, People Magazine named Stone one of the sexiest men alive. In 2008, Stone launched Kitchen Solutions, a line of cooking products and baking pans, which is sold globally. He has published four books cooking-related books and tries to use locally grown, organic ingredients whenever possible.
