For as long as I can remember I’ve been a fan of Chef Curtis Stone. Â What is there not to love? With his adorable Australian accent, pleasant, upbeat personality and his cooking skills it’s hard not to think the guy is fabulous. Â He’s also a family man married with two kids making him that much more of a great guy!
During Pebble Beach Food & Wine I attended a cooking demonstration led by Chef Curtis Stone.  After demonstrating to the audience how he makes a Bloody Mary he asked for a few volunteers to help with a Bloody Mary Shake off. Creating a Bloody Mary by the side of legendary Chef Curtis Stone. Of course I was dying to be selected and somehow (possibly my front row seat) I was chosen!! Below you’ll find shots of the cooking demonstration he led as well as the video of the Bloody Mary Shake Off.
Chef Curtis and I met a few years ago at the South Beach Food & Wine Festival (shot below) so you can imagine my excitement when I learned he would be at Pebble Beach Food & Wine 2015.Â
You’ll have to watch to see who won, me or my competitor Cameron. I couldn’t have asked for a nicer partner in the Shake Off as I am not that familiar with a Bloody Mary recipe (as you’ll see) and Cameron was sharing pointers for the recipe. I hope you enjoy the video!Â

I hope you enjoy watching the Bloody Mary Shake off. Warning, I have never been a bar tender so clearly do not know how to make a Bloody Mary. Enjoy!Â
