This 17-year-old chef charges $160 a plate
Most 10-year-olds go to school, go to soccer practice, come home and finish their Math worksheets and do it all over again.
Flynn McGarry, however, was learning how to cook sophisticated dishes and serving them to his mother and her friends.

Today, McGarry is a nationally known and acclaimed chef who's latest pop-up restaurant (that closed last month) served both seven-course lunches and fourteen-course dinners at a fancy $160 a seat.
Quite impressive for a teen who's age demographic is more often than not still trying to figure out the right milk-to-cereal ratio before they run out the door to go to school every morning.
Five years ago, McGarry began a monthly supper club in his home in Studio City, CA. Thus was born EUREKA, a multi-course dining experience that, for the past three years, has become a popup restaurant in Los Angeles, San Francisco and most recently, New York.
At only 17, McGarry has already snagged the cover story for the Food and Drink Issue of The New York Times Magazine as well as a solid spot in the top 25 most influential teens from Time Magazine.
What city's next to for McGarry? No news yet, but we're guessing it'll have to be somewhere exciting enough to keep his attention.
He is still a teen, after all.
