Curtis Stone on The Drug Epidemic in LA, Binning A Bad Review & Almost Losing His $4M Restaurant
from The Karl Stefanovic Show · host Karl Stefanovic
In this episode, I sit down with Curtis Stone for a brutally honest conversation about what really happens behind the success.Curtis opens up about almost losing the $4m business he backed with his brother, the bad review he literally threw in the bin because he knew it was wrong, and the reality of the drug epidemic he sees every day living in LA. He talks about why he actually moved to LA in the first place (a free trip with his mates), and why Australia is pulling him home again — including the restaurant he wants to open here next.There are lighter moments too: the panic of Paul McCartney turning up to dinner with no vegan meals prepared, the blind date with his wife he nearly didn’t go on, and what it was really like working under Marco Pierre White — intense, intimidating, and formative. We also talk steak — including the perfect cut served at Curtis’ LA restaurant, Gwen (we tasted it… it’s elite).And guys, if you like this epsiode, I'd really appreciate a follow It's free and it really helps us build this channel.
