The celebrity chef, who lives in Los Angeles with his actress wife Lindsay Price and their two boys, Hudson aged three and seven-month-old Emerson, is not about to let junk food pass their mouths. ‘Someone said to me on a TV show in America ‘’but how do you stop your kid from eating hot dogs?’’ I'm like that's pretty easy, my kid has never eaten a hot dog because it's full of s***,’ he says.

The celebrity chef (pictured with his wife Lindsay and son Hudson) is adamant that his children should eat healthily . ‘I don't want him to have all the nitrates and c*** that's in a hot dog. ‘Of course one day he will be invited to a party at a fast food restaurant and I'm not going to say no, you can live a life of course, but you are in charge of his day to day.’ Stone says his biggest priority is to feed his children healthy food.

My opinion is; that's just not accurate.’ The 39-year-old is back in Australia to visit family and promote his new cookbook, Good Food, Good Life.
