I had the opportunity to go to law school, and my dad, who was an accountant, couldnt believe I wanted to walk away from that and start cooking. – Curtis Stone
These days I travel so much its hard to get into a routine. When Im on the road, I tend to use hotel gyms. When Im home in L.A., I like to hike and hit the surf. All in all, I try to keep a balanced diet and exercise routine, which has stood me in good stead to date. – Curtis Stone
When I see my staff take a step back because Ive lost my cool about something food-related, I say never apologise for your standards. If someone doesnt meet them, then you should explain that and that you want it changed. I want my staff to be like that, too. – Curtis Stone
It is great to add some glamour to the food industry, like television shows have done for the food world and inspiring people to work in the industry. The flip side of that is unfortunately people think that after they get their qualifications, they get their invitation to compete on Top Chef. – Curtis Stone
