16yo chef selling out dinners that cost $160pp

At just 16 years old, Flynn McGarry already has a career many aspiring chefs would envy.

Beginning on September 12, McGarry will be serving a 14-course tasting menu at a permanent pop-up restaurant called Eureka at the Creative Edge space in New York City’s West Village.

At $US160 a head, the tasting menu is a highly exclusive experience. Wine pairings are an additional $US80.

McGarry will be cooking dinners three days a week, and, according to his Twitter feed, September reservations are already almost sold out.

According to Food & Wine, the menu will include peanut Ritz crackers with foie gras and sea urchin with coffee-pickled carrots.

McGarry has been hosting a dinner series out of his parents’ Los Angeles home since he was 11. The supper club became so popular that it landed him a spot on the cover of the New York Times Magazine when he was just 15 years old.

Reservations for Eureka can be made on the pop-up restaurant’s web site.
