Early life


McGarry is the son of Meg and Will McGarry. His maternal grandfather was comedian Larry Daniels.[2][6]

McGarry grew interested in cooking after tiring of his parents' limited cooking repertoire and the takeout food they would frequently eat.[2][3] He cooked through Thomas Keller's The French Laundry Cookbook and learned cooking skills from YouTube videos and food blogs.[2][7] His parents built a kitchen in his bedroom to help him practice and installed a vacuum sealer, induction burners, a binchōtan grill and an immersion circulator.[2] McGarry started home-schooling in the seventh grade so that he could have more time to practice cooking.[2] When he was 12, McGarry started the US$160-a-head Eureka dining club in Los Angeles.[2][4]


Career


At sixteen years old, McGarry finished his high school examinations and moved to New York City,[1] where he opened his own pop-up restaurant, Eureka NYC, in the West Village.[4] The only chef at Eureka NYC, McGarry cooks a 14-course tasting menu[8][9] inspired in part by his international travels.[3]

As of 2014, McGarry was writing an autobiography.[2] McGarry cites Daniel Humm, René Redzepi and Thomas Keller as cooking inspirations.[10][11]

In 2015, McGarry was named one of Time magazine's thirty most influential teens.[12] In 2016, McGarry presented a dish for a pressure test in the eighth season of Masterchef Australia.[13]

In early 2018 McGarry opened his first permanent restaurant, Gem in the Lower East Side.[14] Gem serves a $200, 12-15 course menu to a dining room of 12 guests over a period of 2 hours,[15] In June 2019, Gem closed for 3 months so McGarry could travel and get more inspirations.[16] He traveled to Los Angeles, Barcelona, London, Paris and Copenhagen.[17]

In 2018, a documentary film about McGarry, entitled Chef Flynn, premiered at SXSW.[18]

In 2021, he took part as a guest in an episode of the tenth season on MasterChef Italia.[19]
