Chef Flynn

While many of his peers were still playing with toy cars, Flynn McGarry was creating remarkable gastronomic delights at his home in Studio City, California. Enjoying unwavering support from his mother Meg, an artist who documented every step of his journey, he devoted himself entirely to his creative passion. Flynn loved to prepare elaborate dinners for friends and family and soon became known as the “Teen Chef,” establishing his own supper club at age 12 and being featured in a New York Times Magazine cover story at age 15. Before he was 16, he staged top restaurants in Los Angeles, New York, and Europe, with critics soon emerging to challenge his rapid ascent in the culinary world. A blend of home videos with intimate vérité footage forms a uniquely comprehensive portrait of a young star’s rise as seen from the inside.
