#86: Flynn McGarry (Gem NYC)

Flynn McGarry on Pearl Anklets, Blue Striped Button-Downs, Rum and Tonic, and more.

Cool people like cool things, which is why we asked cool person Flynn McGarry to come on Perfectly Imperfect & redistribute his good taste.

New York City based chef Flynn McGarry became a star after seeing huge success from the various pop-ups he ran as a teen chef, even being labeled a “Prodigy” by The New Yorker in 2012 and profiled by Vogue. These days Flynn has shifted focus to his beautiful Lower East Side restaurant, Gem, where, as the owner and chef, he’s serving up an ever-changing ala carte dinner menu focused on local seafood and produce plucked at its peak. You can also stop by during the day for a light lunch & cup of coffee as well as wine, cider, beer, antique home goods, sauces, and seasonings. Flynn clearly has great taste and lucky for us, he’s here to talk about what he’s been into.

Without further ado
