Extraordinary Teen Prodigy Chef: Greg Grossman

Meet THNKR'S latest prodigy, Greg Grossman. He started working in kitchens at age 8, and catering high-end parties and charity events at age 12. He has cooked in over 40 restaurants alongside some of the greatest chefs, and started his own culinary development company -- all by 17th birthday! Greg also finds time to give back and prides himself on helping charitable organizations which focus on the needs of children.
In this episode of Prodigies, Greg creates and prepares an elaborate 1920's
Prohibition-era New York themed 7-course tasting menu for a top restaurateur and his team. If all goes well, Greg will partner with them in a new restaurant venture. Tune in and find out!
Scott Feldman correct title is Greg's manager not agent.
Greg now attends Professional Children's School, in NYC whose mission it is to give a top academic education while supporting the schedules of professional children.

    Don't bog yourself down with what you can't do. You don't have to be a child to be a prodigy, nor to contribute to a field you love. Let it inspire you to use your own mind to contribute to a field that you love being a part of, that you enjoy working in.
