Curtis Stone is a Los Angeles-based Michelin-starred chef, restaurateur, author and culinary entrepreneur. Stone began cooking at the Savoy Hotel’s five-star restaurant in his hometown of Melbourne, Australia at the age of 18. He moved to Europe when he was 21 to further his education and classical training under renowned chef Marco Pierre White for eight years, a foundation that would inform his subsequent career in Los Angeles. In 2014, Stone opened his first solo restaurant, Maude (Beverly Hills, CA), to immediate acclaim. Following the success of Maude, he opened Gwen Butcher Shop & Restaurant (Hollywood, CA) in July 2016 with his brother Luke Stone. Maude received its first Michelin star in 2019 upon the guide’s return to California, and has retained their standing, with Gwen sharing the honor with its own star in 2022. The brothers opened their second restaurant together, Georgie, modeled after Gwen, with restaurateur Stephan Courseau in Dallas, Texas in fall 2019. In addition to the restaurants, Stone operates Curtis Stone Events in Los Angeles, a full-service events and catering company that crafts personalized occasions for guests.

Outside his restaurants, Stone is widely known for his appearances on television programs such as Take Home Chef, Top Chef Masters, the Emmy-nominated Top Chef Junior, an extension of the Top Chef franchise, as well as making frequent appearances on MasterChef Australia. In Fall 2019, Stone debuted Field Trip with Curtis Stone on PBS, a six-episode series inspired by his global travels to research the regional menus at the newly minted Michelin-starred Maude. Season Two premiered in October 2020. He recently entered Kitchen Stadium as an Iron Chef for Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend, which debuted in June 2022. A New York Times best-selling author, Curtis has authored six cookbooks including his most recent, Good Food, Good Life. In 2007, Stone developed Kitchen Solutions, a collection of sleek and functional cookware, which has now become the best-reviewed brand and top-selling culinary line on the Home Shopping Network.

In 2016, Stone began a new pledge to give back through his #Commit2One initiative. Each year he partners with a charity, devoting the majority of his time and resources to the cause. Through these efforts, he has raised funds and awareness for The National Young Farmer’s Coalition, Chrysalis, Adopt Together, Share Our Strength, which aims to end childhood hunger through their No Kid Hungry campaign, and Drought Angels.
