Flynn McGarry, 19, is the chef-owner of one of New York’s hottest new restaurants, Gem. But on Wednesday night, he closed the restaurant—where his prepared menu will set you back $155—and instead arranged a five-course meal for a group of brands and ad buyers brought together by multi-channel network AwesomenessTV.
In between preparing courses of smoked cod with apples, asparagus chawanmushi, kohlrabi cooked in cheese fat and a lamb feast (all of which were ridiculously delicious), McGarry told the crowd that he’s been cooking since the age of 10, mostly “because my parents are really bad at cooking.”
The intimate dinner of about 45 at Chelsea outpost Haven’s Kitchen featured reps from brands including Pepsi, Denny’s, the NFL and Invisalign, all of whom partner or are being sold on partnering with AwesomenessTV.
