I'm impressed by his intelligent, wisdom, and maturity, especially for a young prodigy

Good on him, I’m twelve, cook dinner everyday and dream of having a restaurant young - what an inspiration for an aspiring chef.

what this guy needs is to travel...expand his tastes, views, try new ingredients...that will keep him fresh.

My favorite line " excuse my language but what the fuck?!" Love it lol

It is ashame that some would discount some because they are young. He seems to have years of experience. Spain was conquered by a 17 year old and the Shah of Persia was an emperor at 14, in this case 19 is a tad bit over the hill.

Realising you need to have amazing hair to be an amazing Chef. Gordon, Marco, this lad.

"People have this obsession with defining things they don't understand with things they have already seen." Stop and think about that statement.....from a teenager. No college life necessary for this young man....he's ready for grad school.

I wish I can meet him! Great Job

I hear a lot of people making remarks as to how mature he is for his age with regard to both his attitude and his style of cuisine. I'm only 24 but have been working professionally in the kitchen for 10 years now and only see that as one, he was born into financial privilege so that style of food is what he was introduced at a young age; and two he worked with some of the greatest chefs in the country. However; he would jump around from restaurant to restaurant in short stints, never truly working for a chef. He always stayed in the stage phase and never had to truly bust his ass under a chef to garner true respect for what he is clearly passionate about. for those that are not versed in our field; doing short stints for acclaimed chefs is to very impressive. No chef, however acclaimed they may be, is going to turn away free labor unless they are a complete detriment to the kitchen. We can always use someone to turn artichoke hearts for free. It only becomes impressive to flaunt experience under chefs like Achatz, Hollingsworth, Boulud, Keller, and others if you have worked under them for years, or at a minimum one year. Unless you are a demi chef de parti for them you most likely are not getting paid and to bust your ass in some of the hardest kitchens under the best chefs for a minimum of one year shows true dedication to the craft. Everyone in this industry works the kind of shifts he works and the only reason people outside of the industry ooh and awe over his work ethic is because he is young. He never had to truly work for the financial backing that has received. With the kind of professional reviews, he receives its shows that he could have benefited from working under these chefs for extended periods of time. The hardest type of cuisine to execute ist the style he works under. It takes real skill to highlight the core qualities of incredible ingredients to let the shine. Most people think of it as simple food but it is far from it. It may be simple if the number of components but figuring out how to highlight an ingredient to its fullest potential takes the experience and mentorship that he frankly doesn't have. I know that it seems like I am completely shitting on him but I do admire the ethic he has towards food. I only know a handful of chefs that have the kind of love for food that he has. All the best chefs in the world have the kind of attitude towards food that he has, the just had to work their way up under some of the most difficult chefs in the most difficult kitchens in the world to receive the kind of acclaim he is receiving due to his age. This will fizzle out because he has not earned the kind of respect he needs to survive in the world he has thrust himself into. This industry is a very close-knit one, chefs rely on each other and form close relationships and he has already closed the doors to that essential part of this industry by jumping directly into owning a restaurant. I am not in his position; however, if he wants to become one of the greats, he should hire a new exec chef and sell his part of the restaurant to go back and work under some of the best chefs. It would demonstrate the maturity to these chefs and he could truly propel forward.

There are a few issues with Chef Flynn. Not as a person, but just little things that are not allowing him to break out on his own in the public eye. He often says “The Chefs he worked for” a one to two month stage at Alinea or Eleven Madison Park is not the same as working there for a year. So his peers in the culinary profession do not like hearing that from him. “If you haven’t worked here a year, you haven’t worked here a day. “ - Charlie Trotter He needs to address his marketing team. As long as he allows himself to be advertised as “The Justin Bieber of Cooking” he won’t be able to shed it. I want him to win because he loves food and the restaurant culture. But he needs to address that! in NYC the reason he is garnering so much attention for a 2-Star NY Times reviewed Restaurant is because of his age. The second he isn’t an under-21 chef people might not start to care. Also he tried to get my chef to mentor him. My chef let him down soft saying he was a little busy but he would do what he could to help. And gave him his phone number. He then told the kitchen it would be unfair to us to share his knowledge with Flynn and yet we are the ones busting our ass for him every single night. Knowledge must be earned. Which brings me to my last point. He was able to garner financial backing for a restaurant with no experience because his parents are loaded. So in this blue collar industry you can understand why a lot of people are sour to him. Some people are born rich some are born poor. He didn’t choose this but his gift is also his curse.

Am I the only one who just can't get enough of him?

1:11 love this momment

2:30 he slurped the spoon and ticked the rest back to the blender lol

Amazing

You have to admit economical advantages or not the kid is talented. He is a prodigy. He had to work and refine his skill set. He did the work. Not his supposed advantages. That said, he’s a very humble, well spoken young man.

the real hero

An old soul

@issoegastronomia O chef mais jovem estar de parabens.

Good Chef - my brother is top 50 restaurants in the world - but he HAS a life and personality. This dude is too young really talented but will end up hurting himself. Take a break and understand and realize you need to enjoy life and make the best of it.

That taste @ 2:33....not sanitary

He actually look like a young Gordon Ramsey...

He is Smart......

He is beautiful. Physically and mentally😘

when he starts rubbing olive oil over everything im sure they crossed jamie oliveoil and gordan saltsay in a lab

Hairnets ma bros. :)

Nice video

he’d make a great finn in an adventure time live action.

I like, I like, I like!!!

I can't believe nobody is wearing a chef Hat

Why am i seeing some physical resemblance with gordon ramsey? Maybe he is his son. Haha

Well yeah, that's what we expected

Ok dog, he did sample off a spoon to his mouth and smack that spoon back in the blender. Hope the health dept didnt see that one lol.

The free hair the spoon saliva thing I wonder if he has really work under supervision with a chef over a year?

Honestly regardless of his age or experience he has the most important thing of all Passion He might not be a conventional chef or know the ropes of the hard kitchen life, blood sweat, pressure of becoming a line cook and that's ok in certain cases as long as I see passion and a hunger to strive I'm rooting for him He will be willing to learn if he has passion Although the commercial kitchen is the best place to learn it's not the only place to learn And him not having that doesn't mean he can't be the best one day Knowledge can be found everywhere

This kid will not be fucked w/. I like this guy.

Looks slightly like Gordon Ramsey but sounds like Shawn Mendes

😘😘😘😘🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭

I tough the title was a Gordon Ramsay

mirror of my life

Tastes the spoon, then taps the remainder of what didn’t go in his mouth back into the blender. That was pretty disgusting.

He looks like a young Gordon Ramsey. Not saying their skills are the same but their looks

He was probably a chef in his past life

He looks like a young Marco.

At 2:37- tastes sauce, then taps saliva spoon on rim of blender?

Every single hair was falling in the food he does. Excellent recipe lol

Not hating but his parents must be rich or know a lot of people to be able to have people pay $160 for a meal made by an 11 yr old. Not hating. Take the chances you have and run with it

The next Gordon Ramsay

Next 2 years : 21 years old cheff is taking not seriously

Needs more slowmo.

Wow, hes rich as fuck anyway!!! Jesus! Said he was 11 when he was charging 160 a head in LA....imagine that.

his hair looks like food to me

There are three thin bundles of hair shaking over his forehead that bother me tremendously. If those things exist today, as I'm writing this, I must invade Denmark.

2:30 He took spoon of some green shit from blender, Try a bit and after dropped back exceeded amount to blender with his saliva and microbes which is around 10 billions in usual mouth. In some other video he was using his phone and after cut row meat. How about also to wear some hair net? Did anyone have seen video where he is really doing some cooking from start to end? I just would like to see his technic and if he follows hygiene rules.

River Phoniex

imagine paying 160 dollars for an 11 year old to cook for you in his own house lmao

Rich kids plays chef with no budget and unlimited resources

He looks like Ramsey not Justin

Hes like a mix of bobby flay and if gordon was a fucking lady

2:30 Dude just added his spit into the food. And dude better be wearing a hairnet cos I feel like his hair keeps falling in.

No offence to all what he is doing n what's happening to him .. no professional should do wht he did at ( 2.30 .. over rated 😎

Meanwhile ...

If he becomes as mean as Marco Pierre White then he should be fine in the cooking industry

I wish my parents were millionaires

He should first to take "Food Safety Course". He touches every food with bare hands, he tastes food from a spoon and then throw leftovers back into a batch. he and his helpers are constantly touching and rubbing their noses, lips, faces... This, way, I never eat at so called "restaurants".

Get Gorden Ramsey down in this joint then I think alot more people will take him serious cause let's be real he will tell it how it is

2:30 ewwwwwwwwww

He s hawt wtf

the main problem most of Chef made foods limit to only beautiful

Get a hairnet.

hi sir this is benot lepcha from india, actually i like to work at reasturent it my hobby and i was started to work at this Hotelindustry its been 4 years so i need a job could u offer me a job in us it my dream to come usa

Please wear a hat in the kitchen or all is for naught...

wishing he meet gordon ramsay to do cooking

get a haircut.......

Bro, your hair is cool, but its a bit cringe dangling over the food like that.

Without his parent's money, he would have to start out as a line cook on the bottom.

@_@ why called him Justin Bieber? because he got blue eyes blond hair and talented? OH GOD PLZ! STOP IT!!!!

this kid is talented but he will fall hard when it happens- not if. when-

he just gone straight to the tweezers, l dont see rhis lad grafting learning at at an entry level chef,years of hard graft and lots of years make a good cook.

He better thanks his rich ass mama

I would not dine at his restaurant because he does not adhere to hygiene rules. Do not hair and saliva in my(expensive) food.

This guy have to comb his hair

He kinda looks like the less wrinkly version of Gordon Ramsey, but nicer... Most importantly... *WHERE'S THE F***ING LAMB SAUCE!!!*

Why this dude sound like a 35 year old !

He needs a hair cut or something

Farinaaaaa 🤢

I am sure you are a great cook for your age, but cooking needs experience kid.

Please use gloves when working with food. Germs are contagious . Mind you ,this all a good beginning for you , but please expose yourself to other countries and treval . You will learn allot and how to makes a variety of different dishes. It's not sorely about the money , It's about beginning cultures together.

Eat the rich

His restaurant was awful; he needs to spend more time in other places.
