Summary
Celebrity chef Curtis Stone joins the show. Over slow-cooked Indonesian beef and coconut squash curry, Curtis reveals that even chefs have picky eaters as children, how TV affected perception of him as a ‘real’ chef, and we hear what restaurants do to protect themselves against unruly guests (spoiler: they take notes). Plus, he shares why he hires formerly unhoused and incarcerated people—and how it's transformed the culture of his LA restaurants. This episode was recorded at Cobi’s in Santa Monica, CA.
