ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Curtis is a husband, father, chef, restaurateur and TV personality.

In this episode, we talk about growing up in Melbourne, Australia, how his two grandmothers inspired his love of food, and what it was like working for the legendary Marco Pierre White in London. We get into the crazy story of how a television show unexpectedly brought him to Los Angeles, why he felt he had something to prove when he opened Maude, and what’s next as he prepares to open a restaurant back in Australia. Plus, he shares the hilarious story of how he met his wife on a blind date, what it’s like raising two boys with big dreams of their own, and the incredible work he’s doing to give people second chances through Chrysalis.
