Australia’s most famous celebrity chef is keen to get into The White House kitchen.
Curtis Stone says he would like to cook a meal for US President Donald Trump.
He first came face-to-face with Trump back in 2010 as a contestant on America’s The Apprentice, in which he appeared alongside the likes of Cyndi Lauper, Bret Michaels and Sharon Osborne as Trump did the hiring and firing.
“At that point he had no political aspirations, he was doing a reality show running a real estate business,” Stone told TMZs Charlie Cotton on his Big Down Under podcast.
“He was outspoken and had a lot to say about lots of things. You didn’t ever really think he would. Most people that want to become the President or Prime Minister of a country start their life in politics.
“Trump had nothing to do with politics until he decided he was going to. It’s bizarre, it’s nuts.”
Melbourne born, Los Angeles-based Stone is married to American actor Lindsay Price, of Lipstick Jungle and Beverly Hills, 90210 fame.
The couple attended a State Dinner honouring then Australian PM Scott Morrison at The White House in 2019, when President Trump was in office the first time.
Stone has cooked for some of the biggest name celebrities, among them Oprah Winfrey, Martha Stewart, and Gwyneth Paltrow.
He said he would not pass up the opportunity to cook a meal for the US President.
“I would accept the challenge for sure,” he said on the podcast.
“If I was going to sort of lean into Australia I would bring him some beef, I know he likes steak.”
To accommodate Trump’s preference for a well-done steak, the celebrity chef mentioned he would likely avoid using a thick cut of meat.
“Wagyu is actually pretty good when it is really nicely caramelised,” he said.
“They usually shave it and serve it in shabu-shabu — which is a bubbling broth so you just dip it and eat it so it’s not medium rare. It’s not well done, it’s just flash cooked. So maybe that’s the answer for Donald.”
