  • 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.

    He seems so much older than his age - not just lookswise but demeanour. He is quite handsome too :)

    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.

    Well, all teens aren't like that. You never see the good ones, truth is most teens are level-headed with slight hormone flares. You only see the bad ones.

    Each society has it's way of living that is revered. Instead of the jack of all trades types, we tend to revere then focused individuals. But I respect what he does equal to someone that can do more than one thing.

    I'm 28 and I'm trying to change careers. I may have to go back to college. The thing is not to think I'm so old I haven't done anything. Rather think if I don't do this I'm going to be worst that if I do.
