SHOWER THOUGHTS

WITH FLYNN MCGARRY
Flynn McGarry is the chef and owner of Gem, a restaurant on the Lower East Side in New York City, and the newly-opened Gem Wine, a wine bar around the corner from Gem.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU FELT VERY INSPIRED?

Like an hour ago. I walked into the restaurant and the team dried barley koji. They dried it and then I puffed a piece, which made it like fried koji, and it was like koji popcorn. It was literally on the counter when I walked in this morning. And it was like this instant thought of I need to make this right now.

That was weird and random.

WHAT'S ONE THING YOU THINK OTHER PEOPLE OVERVALUE?

Probably using your time. We put a lot of pressure on planning. I find that everyone I know is always stressed about getting things done. I know there's never enough time. I was always really believed that. I somehow get it all down.

I think that that's a thing that people are overly concerned about. They spend so much of their time thinking about their time. When you could just do and not spend all your time thinking.
