The Australian chef and TV presenter on improvising soup for Paul McCartney, his hatred for yoga pants, and his top tip for cooking the perfect steak

When asked about the secret to making the 43rd best steak in the world, Curtis Stone shares that it involves sourcing great quality beef, dry aging, careful butchering, and cooking over live fire. All three aspects are equally important. For cooking steak at home, Stone emphasizes the importance of resting the meat and cooking it at high heat.

Stone finds the idea of preppers fascinating but doesn't see himself going to such lengths. He also shares his controversial opinion on people wearing yoga pants outside of yoga activities. When asked about who would play him in a biopic, Stone suggests Chris Hemsworth or Johnny Depp.

Running a pie shop in Beverly Hills, Stone discusses the challenges of introducing Aussie meat pies to Americans. He also talks about cooking for famous personalities like Paul McCartney and Oprah, sharing interesting anecdotes from those experiences.

Stone reveals his favorite restaurants in the world, including Château de la Chèvre d’Or in France and Alinea in Chicago. He also reflects on the best lesson he learned from Marco Pierre White and shares his go-to music choice, the Sex Pistols.

Stone recounts a cringeworthy encounter with Juliette Lewis on an airplane, where she was found reading her phone on the toilet without locking the door. Despite the awkward situation, Stone and Lewis never made eye contact afterwards.
