In Australia, he debuted his cooking career at the tender age of 18 at the Savoy Hotel. On completing his qualifications as a chef, Curtis set off for Europe to experience life and the cuisines of Italy, France and Spain, before finally arriving in London. When he arrived in London, he started cooking alongside the renowned Marco Pierre White, the author of the cookbook "White Heat", at The Café Royal and Mirabelle. He went on to become head chef at Marco's Quo Vadis, receiving critical acclaim before moving to the exclusive Restaurant 301.
He returned briefly to Australia to make the cooking show/travelogue Surfing the Menu (on ABC TV) with another chef, Ben O'Donoghue. A second series of the show ran for longer than the first and was more successful.

He also hosted the first series of My Restaurant Rules; however, he was replaced by Ian Dickson for the second series. Stone can currently be seen on Take Home Chef on TLC in the United States.
