Celebrity chef Curtis Stone, best known for his appearances on Celebrity Apprentice and his culinary expertise, is gearing up to bring a taste of Australia to the White House. In a recent interview on the TMZ podcast “Big Down Under,” Curtis revealed his plans to prepare a special meal for none other than former President Donald Trump.
Stone’s culinary prowess is undisputed, and now he’s ready to create a dining experience that blends his Australian roots with the classic flavors that President Trump is known to enjoy. So, what exactly does the renowned chef have in mind for the former Commander-in-Chief’s dinner?
A Taste of Australia: Wagyu Beef and the Well-Done Steak Dilemma
When asked about his dream meal for President Trump, Curtis Stone didn’t hesitate to mention one key ingredient that would absolutely make the cut: Wagyu beef. Known for its marbled texture and rich flavor, Wagyu beef is a delicacy that perfectly reflects the high-quality Australian produce Curtis is eager to showcase.
However, there’s a twist in the preparation process—Trump’s well-documented preference for his steaks to be cooked well done, with ketchup on the side. As any chef knows, the perfect steak is often a matter of how you cook it, and achieving the ideal well-done steak without compromising its tenderness and flavor can be tricky. But Curtis, a master in the kitchen, has a few tricks up his sleeve.
In the interview, Curtis confidently shares that, although he knows Trump’s preferences might make it challenging to cook Wagyu the traditional way, he’s ready to work his magic. “I’ve got a few workarounds in mind,” he says, “like any chef worth their salt would.” Curtis’ ability to adjust for personal tastes while still delivering a memorable dining experience has made him a favorite in kitchens around the world.
