Even if he has rich parents so what, at least he's working and putting his passion into his craft. How many rich kids don't you see on social media pathetically flexing their (daddy's) wealth in luxury cars , clothes ect ... He's a genuine guy, working his ass off so what's not to like ?!
there are millions of mexicans who are breaking their back doing the same thing he does but they barely make enough to feed their family, this kid just stumbles into it and will probably be very successful for a significant less amount of work than anyone who will ever work underneath him. He'll never and probably has never had to do a shift in the dish pit.
@@blurgle9185 yes it's newsworthy because it's about his age, he's 19 years old....and already opened and working in his restaurant. He's sacrificing his youth when his peers are getting high or drunk.
@@bethanychristensen2714 No, there's are billions of people who are breaking their back working all kinds of jobs that have a hard time feeding their family, so what ? Did nobody tell you life is not fair, life is not balanced. There's people dying RIGHT NOW in Syria does that mean that you shouldn't have a moment of joy or success in life ? This kid didn't stumble into anything, you don't open a restaurant and server his menu just out of the blue and success doesn't come with money. People hating on him because he's has more drive and passion at 19 then they had in their whole life to justify wasting their young years drinking and partying.
Good for him. And good for his parents not forcing a square peg into a round hole. Kid wants to cook let him cook. Let him be great and make his way doing what he loves
Ed Salna we need education, not necessarily like school or certificate or what, u will forget what u dont want anyway in school. There's online class, and personal tutor
skeche that's what I was thinking but he's been working since he was 12 and based on this video you can tell he didn't just take his parents money and sit back and get rich, he worked hard for it.
When people tend to lean towards "they got there because of their rich parents", it screams envy. I work and live around wealthy people. What people dont see is the amount of work and hours they are away from home working to maintain that wealth.
i know this is just a joke and yes i know im 2 years late. but i just want to remind you that a restraunt should never be ran the way gordan runs things, there is a reason that gordan dosnt actually step a foot in any of his restraunts. hes a great chef no doubt in my mind but he has the wrong idea on how to make people a better chef. from my chef experience its still stressful but its all about the banter in the kitchen, and gordan does a terrible job with that
Indeed, Even though i would say he is already a lot farther then most. He is being acknowledged by the head chef of elven madison park (last years 1# resturant in the world) and has worked with him before.
why would the dude need to graduate high school if he's already making it big in the cooking scene? Going by previous comments, the dude cooked with top rate chefs.
Am 19 now and my dream is to own a restaurant or a bakery, I'll update you later. (Based on my financial situation now i think i will update yall after 20 years)
Get yourself investors. It’s better to have. % of something than 100% of anything. If you have what it takes you’ll get financing. Recommend Dan Pena for advice, he has his content for free on his website
Lol everybody in here hating. He literally said in the video that he has investors. So regardless of him having rich parents or not, they still aren't sponsoring his restaurant. Just 'cause y'all some 25 year-olds living with your parents and still haven't figured out what's going on in your lives doesn't mean that everybody has to be like that. Just give dabs to the young fella and let him do what he has to do to thrive. Damn, y'all salty.
UptownRepresentative Agree. Working in the service industry is not easy. He also mentioned he works 18hrs a day (maybe not everyday, but most days for sure - because managing a restaurant is physically, mentally, creatively, and emotionally demanding). That's hard work and dedication. Idk why people think this kid is spoiled when he's workin his ass off.
Why do I have a feeling that you can only be a really successful chef if you have a rich family with plenty of connections? I remember when I was 19, I was just as passionate and work driven as him. But I couldn't afford a free labor work because I needed to survive. I wanted to open my own place, but I didn't have a rich family. Not even sure if I could even open one if I'm living off with $14/hour while it's already hard to pay rent. A lot of you guys would probably say, "oh stop being such a whiner" or "he works hard so he deserves it!" Tbh, I'm thankful for him. For his talents and passion, it's definitely being put into a good place. His family definitely admire him a lot. Plus, I always respect a chef that is full of passion. But in my reality, it's not as grand. Anyways, I'm still hoping to have a place on my own in the future. I'm saving up money for it. I'll update you guys in about 25 years or more.
I kind of love this kid. He's got a truly unique approach and a passion sparked from a young age tends to manifest some intense results. All the best as he moves through his life.
I'm going to show this to my Culinary students at a Title 1 high school to prove to them that "limits" are set by you for you. I love seeing young Culinary ambassadors doing what they love, pushing the boundaries, and changing people's lens on what passion is about.
He is talented but not inspiring. Look at all the world class chef, they don't become successful by asking their parent to open a restaurant for them when they are 19. If he really wants to open a restaurant, he should work his way up and get more experience before venturing into this business, restaurant business are very risky, do you know many restaurant closes yearly? experience is very important in restaurant business, he has never work as a head chef and run a kitchen let alone a restaurant, and he decides to invest in a restaurant serving ambitious and expensive food. The expenses are to keep the place operating are high, ask any businessman and they will definitely say it is not a good idea, but he gets away with it because his parent can afford to pay even if the restaurant failed. You can call me jealous but the fact is his success is mostly down to his wealthy background.
Saw this guy’s film aboard Delta. He’s not rich and I’m glad his dad is back in his life. I just wish the film did a follow up because it ended with him looking to buy a place for his restaurant. That’s why I’m here. So glad he succeeded! Genius he is!
Don't sweat it mate, don't compare yourself unfavourably to prodigies or people who possibly have an easier life. You don't know their experience, and so it's unfair on yourself to put that weight on your shoulders. You do you, and don't worry what other people are doing. This kid is not the norm.
@Zaven Except that's not what he's saying. Motivation is a very good thing, however, if it comes at the expense of someones' mental, that ins't a trade I'm willing to make.
I'm almost 26 and i've never cooked a single meal but lately i've been thinking about joining a cooking class, become a chef in a couple years and open up my own restaurant too. Its not too late. Everybody has their own pace and trajectory
if my parents gave me a trillion dollars i could i could work towards my dream of conquering the world till that happens i'll keep making food for people who enjoy eating food an not plates of overly manicured status trophys made of vegetables an food concentrates
My brother was just like you. A on amazing and friendly, personal chef. He spent over 20 years busting his ass for others and getting no where. $$$$ means nothing to him so he cooked with heart and it killed him. Destroyed him. Stay on your own. Please. Don't sell out. You're an amazing young man.
@@mordecai8707 yeah, fast food, usually.. I don't think a restaurant which primarily operates in reservations, and is extremely expensive and have mostly small portioned meals are exactly going to exactly convert well to "take out"..
Really sad seeing all the hateful comments left by the sad, jealous, losers that have done nothing with their lives. Glad this kid is putting in the work and making a name for himself!
Maybe jet fuel can´t and Bush was just too dumb - he certainly had the opportunity and reasons and Bin Laden said he didn´t do it. Only sad, jealous losers believe that a President couldnt do such things. I agree that we need less people like Bush and more people who just do their thing, like McGarry, without bothering others.
If your parents are rich, that is a blessing not a curse, so better to use that opportunity and build something for yourself with their help there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Thank you Flynn for setting such an amazing example for the young to know they can achieve anything. Be proud of your age and your profession, let people know that not all young people are silly millennials. Some of you young people are incredibly amazing. Wish you all the best for what looks like an adventurous future.
He wouldn't have been able to do this without his parent's support. I'm glad they gave him freedom to pursue this interest. When I told my dad I wanted to be an artist and major in art, he told me i had to pick something practical or he wouldn't pay for school.
akrity chauhan If this guy has been cooking like this since making small delicate meals since he was really young, he had to have wealthy parents to fund those meals to enhance his cooking education. No doubt this guy has talent, but if he grew up in the middle class he probably would just be a normal chef right now. But probably in another 5-10 years he would have hit this business owning position regardless.
Wow this young man is a boy version of me 😂. I been cooking since I was 10 to my brother. Keep pushing you got this. I have my own restaurant as well and I’m only 22. I love this !!! When you really love what you do it shows 👩🏽🍳❤️. God bless you 😘
Im a chef and i like the fact that he went and put some time in some amazing places but because his parents are rich he never had to struggle and have ups and down in the kitchen and thats part of the whole thing.
Huh? This guy's 19 and owns a restaurant? Where'd the money for that come from? New York isn't exactly cheap these days. He said something about "investors". Glad it's working out for him, some people throw everything they have into similar endeavors and wind up destitute.
djhutchison He more than likely comes from a wealthy background and was helped out by his parents. Regardless of whether or not his parents helped him, I'm glad to see this kid putting in the work and making a name for himself.
Most people that throw money at stuff thinking they can make it don’t actually have the skills or dedication, they take loans and go broke. This kid seems like he has actual talent and a good work ethic, I’m sure he will be a successful chef for years to come.
djhutchison acknowledge that he was known as a good cook at a young age. People already knowing his skill at cooking probably helped with people investing into the making of his restaurant.
Everyone here saying he is spoiled since he had the capital to open a restaurant so young... instead of pissing on him cause of your jealously let the boy enjoy his success. He was fortunate to have the opportunity and took it and so far is not squandering it. all cause just cause your life is sad and you wish you were him.
I always admire young people who is willing to work regardless of their background as i know many r wasting their time watching tv, playing games , sleeping etc.
Don't care about your age, learn to do it now. Here's a super easy one for soft boiled eggs in a microwave (you gotta start somewhere). Get a small bowl, put water in, put 1 or 2 eggs in(without shell), cover it (super important), microwave for 50 secs to 1 min on medium. If not enough time to cook (still translucent) add in 10 secs. Scoop with a slotted spoon (a spoon with holes). Add salt/spices/soya sauce then eat. When you get comfortable with the above, its time to fry eggs Sunny Side Up. Put oil or butter (savory or sweet) and spread over the pan. If with butter, heat it on super low to melt the butter and spread it (just swirl the pan with your wrist). Crack egg vertically on a flat surface, use fingers of both hands to separate the halves of the egg shell over the pan to put the eggs in. Heat egg with super low heat, add in salt & spices and cover it (a clear pan cover is better to see if the eggs are cooked). Usually cooks a little over a minute when all translucent egg whites are gone.
Can only say that this place rocks with the best Pizza in the south bay. My daughter turned me on a long time ago and i've been a regular ever since. The service is also very good and the decor is just as good. My current wife loves it as much as i do. We were there last night and ordered a large with half combination and half wester. Made my mouth water to the end.
You did hear him say that he spends 18 hours a day at the restaurant? Right? What wife wants to be second to a restaurant? What time does he have to pursue relationships?(though he was on the cell alot...)
He essentially did what people do in Europe: choose a craft at a young age, and become proficient at it by 18/19. Not everyone is meant to go to university, at the end of the day, we still need good people cooking, building, plumbing, or even playing instruments. He is obviously passionate about what he does, and that's what we need more in the world.
What a bold guy!!!! My deep respect and full appreciation for his courageous attitude! Go for it, man - you are the size of your dreams ! Really impressed and happy to see your generation coming out as talented professionals !!!!
Kudos to this kid ..had I not opted for medical profession....I would have become a chef.. cooking is pure Bliss....you can express your creativity in many ways...
All these people hating on him because he's actually working his ass off and doing something with his life, and it's working for him. You're all just jealous. If you'd started actively working hard toward your dream at 12 yrs old, and didn't give up, you'd be somewhere, too, instead of whining about life's unfairness.
YO first of stop saying how it isn't newsworthy because he's a rich kid, so what if he's a rich kid his mom or dad or someone had to work their ass off to get that money and just because he's rich that doesn't mean you should call him unnewsworthy, if you people are so worried about people being rich well than i can worry and complain about you being you. mind your own buisnes your just too jealous because hes rich which goes to show that you just want their money.
pretentious is the mold at this point buddy lol if he wanted to break away from the mold he would go to the most ratchet hood in oakland an open the same restaurant not on the stripe in newyork
Man.. this is why perspective/context is so important. This kid says "it's free labor, everyone's down to have it" about getting an internship at 11madisonpark. So many aspiring chefs would kill for an internship there to learn from the greats.
It sad to see some people saying that a driven young man would push himself into a space that is EXTREMELY difficult because he had MONEY to get him there...BS. It proves that even though we watched the same video, we don’t hear the same things...saaaadd. Keep up the amazing work young man.
“My investors wouldn’t be happy if I took a few days to play video games.” That may be true, but don’t forget to live your life young man. Kitchen life is hard on the body & the mind. Do what you love but don’t let it over take you. It only gets harder as you become more successful and then pressure to remain successful can become overwhelming and stressful AF. I love seeing the drive and passion you have at such a young age, but just remember to take time for yourself too. It’s so important and you will surely realize that down the road✌🏽.
some people need 8 some need 4. Some prefer different life styles. Its all good as long as you aren't leaning on others in the world. Be self sufficient, be capable and earn your own.. 15 years, I slept about 4 or 5 hours a day and worked non stop. I slowed down now at 34 years old and I am so much more aware of what actually matters in life. Now; I work 4 days a week and spend as much time with my family and friends as I possibly can.
michael Thorn you never know. The owner of a catering company I worked with was in his kitchen open to close and cleanup 7 days a week the entire time I was with them. Everyone there told me he'd done that since the beginning 15 years ago. That varied from 12 to 18 hours a day. He bought the house next door so that he'd have time to sleep more. While I was there I remember him taking two week long vacations... Even after he sold the business for a couple million dollars; he still stayed at least 10 hours a day as an employee and usually 5 or 6 days a week; at 60 years old!.
It's amazing how many negative comments there are. Who cares if he comes from a wealthy background. It takes passion and a lot of dedication to achieve what he has. The thing I love about this kid is that he has a clear mission in life and that has helped him make the choices he has made. I see a lot of people a lot older who still don't know what to do with their lives....congrats to u buddy...
He's talented, that's it But working in kitchen means long hours,pressure, especially with that price point',so he's definitely working his a** off I hope he can get Michelin stars though in the future
*I predict:* *This is exactly how Meghan Markle's and Prince Harry's son will look like 20 years into the future.* *The only differences: his hair will be more wavy and his skin tone will be darker.* *I also predict:* *Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will name their son Sean.*
He's 19 and started cooking when he was 10.
He has been cooking by almost literally half his life. And there are probably more to come. He deserves it
I'm 20 started cooking at 10. Unfortunately I'm not rich so I can't open a restaurant
.
He also comes from a privileged background and he’s a go getter, how rare. My kids are morons I’m sad to say and I would never invest in them.
Hiii
@@doubletapthatdotty4597 yeah, i think many people forgot that the "young super talented" individuals are discovered because of wealthy parents

Good analogy. It is very refreshing to see parents seriously acknowledge, and also nurture and support their child’s passion.
let him cook.

If his mom hooked up with Gordon Ramsey this is the product
He wouldn't have been able to do this without his parent's support. I'm glad they gave him freedom to pursue this interest. When I told my dad I wanted to be an artist and major in art, he told me i had to pick something practical or he wouldn't pay for school.
The people who disliked this vedio don't have eyes to see creativity and excelence in someone
akrity chauhan nope. Not because of that. Because of his rich parents.
(I didn't dislike this vid tho 😁)
Eau de Jenny wheather he has rich parents or not talent can't be bought in shops or malls
Eau de Jenny but your point is correct i agree totally😂😂
akrity chauhan If this guy has been cooking like this since making small delicate meals since he was really young, he had to have wealthy parents to fund those meals to enhance his cooking education. No doubt this guy has talent, but if he grew up in the middle class he probably would just be a normal chef right now. But probably in another 5-10 years he would have hit this business owning position regardless.
And you don't have eyes to see you misspelled video to vedio lol
This kid has motivation and work ethic so it literally doesn't matter if he came from money or not.
Wow this young man is a boy version of me 😂. I been cooking since I was 10 to my brother. Keep pushing you got this. I have my own restaurant as well and I’m only 22. I love this !!! When you really love what you do it shows 👩🏽🍳❤️. God bless you 😘
Im a chef and i like the fact that he went and put some time in some amazing places but because his parents are rich he never had to struggle and have ups and down in the kitchen and thats part of the whole thing.
Huh? This guy's 19 and owns a restaurant? Where'd the money for that come from? New York isn't exactly cheap these days. He said something about "investors". Glad it's working out for him, some people throw everything they have into similar endeavors and wind up destitute.
djhutchison He more than likely comes from a wealthy background and was helped out by his parents. Regardless of whether or not his parents helped him, I'm glad to see this kid putting in the work and making a name for himself.
It happens. People have money. Some have lota of money. For all we we his dad is a vp at a huge company.
Or his mom signed her life away lol
Most people that throw money at stuff thinking they can make it don’t actually have the skills or dedication, they take loans and go broke.
This kid seems like he has actual talent and a good work ethic, I’m sure he will be a successful chef for years to come.
djhutchison acknowledge that he was known as a good cook at a young age. People already knowing his skill at cooking probably helped with people investing into the making of his restaurant.
"you could like walk passed and not even realise what we are"
Great advertising.
Everyone here saying he is spoiled since he had the capital to open a restaurant so young... instead of pissing on him cause of your jealously let the boy enjoy his success. He was fortunate to have the opportunity and took it and so far is not squandering it. all cause just cause your life is sad and you wish you were him.
@@JC-dc7eb ???at least he isnt a loser like u
I always admire young people who is willing to work regardless of their background as i know many r wasting their time watching tv, playing games , sleeping etc.
he kinda looks like the younger version of prince harry
Thank you 😃 I literally scroll the comments section searching for someone else who saw the resemblance 😃
Yah plus American
Kid is ahead of his time. His focus, determination, dedication to his craft is amazing. Keep it up young man, the sky is the limit!
He is doing this since he was 12
I cant make an egg i am 17 😭
Mano Yousafzai My 8 years old cousin boy makes perfect round egg🍳
Ofcourse you can't make an egg, you're a mammal.
How the hell you can get around in life without knowing that? 😂😂😂
;-; Wow u suck. no offense
Don't care about your age, learn to do it now. Here's a super easy one for soft boiled eggs in a microwave (you gotta start somewhere). Get a small bowl, put water in, put 1 or 2 eggs in(without shell), cover it (super important), microwave for 50 secs to 1 min on medium. If not enough time to cook (still translucent) add in 10 secs. Scoop with a slotted spoon (a spoon with holes). Add salt/spices/soya sauce then eat.
When you get comfortable with the above, its time to fry eggs Sunny Side Up.
Put oil or butter (savory or sweet) and spread over the pan. If with butter, heat it on super low to melt the butter and spread it (just swirl the pan with your wrist).
Crack egg vertically on a flat surface, use fingers of both hands to separate the halves of the egg shell over the pan to put the eggs in. Heat egg with super low heat, add in salt & spices and cover it (a clear pan cover is better to see if the eggs are cooked). Usually cooks a little over a minute when all translucent egg whites are gone.
Camera guy: okay guys.. its rolling. Play it like you guys love it each other 4:27
And here I am at 21, creating a TH-cam channel for my nephew!
He's just amazing. I hope his restaurant continues to succeed.
I'm jealous of his family getting amazing food from him😍😍
Can only say that this place rocks with the best Pizza in the south bay. My daughter turned me on a long time ago and i've been a regular ever since. The service is also very good and the decor is just as good. My current wife loves it as much as i do. We were there last night and ordered a large with half combination and half wester. Made my mouth water to the end.
His wife is going to be the luckiest 😉
Mano Yousafzai wat about afghan wife? 😆😆😂
Rocky William The Great .. whts bad in getting married to afghan girl??
I dont understand 😁
Mano Yousafzai i am complementing by showing them as a good choice lol😂
You did hear him say that he spends 18 hours a day at the restaurant? Right? What wife wants to be second to a restaurant? What time does he have to pursue relationships?(though he was on the cell alot...)
Patrick Sanders I'll support such!
He essentially did what people do in Europe: choose a craft at a young age, and become proficient at it by 18/19. Not everyone is meant to go to university, at the end of the day, we still need good people cooking, building, plumbing, or even playing instruments. He is obviously passionate about what he does, and that's what we need more in the world.
the only builders an plumbers that dropped out of school before 15 are the ones that built the twin towers #bushdid911
Why does this have 1k dislikes? This kids gonna be the GOAT!!
Good job kid. Found what you love and you're going for it. Enjoy a good life.
Getting his Hussle on. Getting somewhere in life
Great job. A lot of people can’t take something they love. And turn it into their future. Meg was a good mom.
His dad be like : what about a restaurant with my name spelled backwards
Restaurant Dad spelled backwards is Restaurant Dad.
What a bold guy!!!! My deep respect and full appreciation for his courageous attitude! Go for it, man - you are the size of your dreams ! Really impressed and happy to see your generation coming out as talented professionals !!!!
Man can’t even legally drink yet
This is what I LIKE, shaking people's nerves & changing the norms of LIFE. LOVE THIS💯🔥🍴🆓👍💙💚💛💜
Cooking is art you can eat~
Eve Jazz 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Kudos to this kid ..had I not opted for medical profession....I would have become a chef.. cooking is pure Bliss....you can express your creativity in many ways...
Gordon Ramsey hair: ☑️
The documentary ‘Chef Flynn’ is wonderful! I definitely recommend.
Parents this is what happens when you listen to your children and foster their goals!!! Good job to you and great job to your parents!!!
Title: 19 year old opens a restaurant
First sentence in the video: I didn't want to open a restaurant
has been working full time in professional kitchens since he was 12? wut how is that even allowed
All these people hating on him because he's actually working his ass off and doing something with his life, and it's working for him. You're all just jealous. If you'd started actively working hard toward your dream at 12 yrs old, and didn't give up, you'd be somewhere, too, instead of whining about life's unfairness.
YO first of stop saying how it isn't newsworthy because he's a rich kid, so what if he's a rich kid his mom or dad or someone had to work their ass off to get that money and just because he's rich that doesn't mean you should call him unnewsworthy, if you people are so worried about people being rich well than i can worry and complain about you being you. mind your own buisnes your just too jealous because hes rich which goes to show that you just want their money.
Great to see such a young chef opening a restaurant concept that doesn’t have to fit the mold. Be brave keep being you ✌🏼
pretentious is the mold at this point buddy lol if he wanted to break away from the mold he would go to the most ratchet hood in oakland an open the same restaurant not on the stripe in newyork
He has a gift. If only that gift wasn't so expensive
Man.. this is why perspective/context is so important. This kid says "it's free labor, everyone's down to have it" about getting an internship at 11madisonpark. So many aspiring chefs would kill for an internship there to learn from the greats.
Doesn't make it a lie
hes got similar hair to gordon ramsay this man will make it through the great filters of culinary expertise with just that facet
I was 18 when I started my own food truck just by word of mouth now I got something bigger coming soon✌🏽 Respect from Chef to Chef
"I didn't want a restaurant, restaurants are cold and robotic "
2 seconds later
"The name of this restaurant is gem"
I found that stupid as well...
It sad to see some people saying that a driven young man would push himself into a space that is EXTREMELY difficult because he had MONEY to get him there...BS. It proves that even though we watched the same video, we don’t hear the same things...saaaadd. Keep up the amazing work young man.
You can talk about it, or you can be about it. 👏
“My investors wouldn’t be happy if I took a few days to play video games.” That may be true, but don’t forget to live your life young man. Kitchen life is hard on the body & the mind. Do what you love but don’t let it over take you. It only gets harder as you become more successful and then pressure to remain successful can become overwhelming and stressful AF. I love seeing the drive and passion you have at such a young age, but just remember to take time for yourself too. It’s so important and you will surely realize that down the road✌🏽.
he was talking about his parents
You work 18 hours a day for 6 days a week that's 108 hours a week wtf. You need 8 hrs sleep to be healthy and you only have 6 hours. Inspirational tho
John Smith your comment tells me everything about you
That's chef life. 18 hours is a bit too much. Most I've done is 14 hours for 7 days straight. There's no sleep in our dictionary.
some people need 8 some need 4. Some prefer different life styles. Its all good as long as you aren't leaning on others in the world. Be self sufficient, be capable and earn your own.. 15 years, I slept about 4 or 5 hours a day and worked non stop. I slowed down now at 34 years old and I am so much more aware of what actually matters in life. Now; I work 4 days a week and spend as much time with my family and friends as I possibly can.
i call bullshit on the 18 hours a day. every week. 6 days a week. chefs are such self righteous tossers sometimes
michael Thorn you never know. The owner of a catering company I worked with was in his kitchen open to close and cleanup 7 days a week the entire time I was with them. Everyone there told me he'd done that since the beginning 15 years ago. That varied from 12 to 18 hours a day. He bought the house next door so that he'd have time to sleep more.
While I was there I remember him taking two week long vacations... Even after he sold the business for a couple million dollars; he still stayed at least 10 hours a day as an employee and usually 5 or 6 days a week; at 60 years old!.
It's amazing how many negative comments there are. Who cares if he comes from a wealthy background. It takes passion and a lot of dedication to achieve what he has.
The thing I love about this kid is that he has a clear mission in life and that has helped him make the choices he has made. I see a lot of people a lot older who still don't know what to do with their lives....congrats to u buddy...
He's talented, that's it
But working in kitchen means long hours,pressure, especially with that price point',so he's definitely working his a** off
I hope he can get Michelin stars though in the future
Rich or not, he has been putting work in it since he was 12. He followed his passion, worked hard and is focused.
Gordon Ramsey been real quiet since then....
Gem nyc is the best $120 I ever spent in my life !
please send gordon ramsey for the 155$ tasting menu and prepare ur self to hear the best sound to mankind!!
Amazing young man. So insightful. God bless. Lots of continued success!
Nice. Cant wait for Gordon Ramsay came.
Happy for him, life is all about positive attitude and love.
Im 37 and I still can't cook 😂 I'd like to taste those dishes he has served up...Im hungry now
Great dedication towards the restaurant business. Every restaurant owner should admire his hard work because they realize the industry challenges.
Have I seen him somewhere before?
Buzzfeed, DEFINITELY Buzzfeed
Worth it
Sofia, I don’t think its Worth It, I haven’t really seen him on a single episode
You don’t need to give me the link, I just remembered the video
he in the meets the robinsons movie but without glasses
Talent is talent. Clearly this young man has talent and he should continue to foster this talent.
He seems like a ‘future ‘nice’ version of Gordon Ramsay’
PS: i love gordon
His work ethic is something I need 😅
*I predict:*
*This is exactly how Meghan Markle's and Prince Harry's son will look like 20 years into the future.*
*The only differences: his hair will be more wavy and his skin tone will be darker.*
*I also predict:*
*Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will name their son Sean.*
randall casimiro wow, someone sounds jealous of the princess...
