LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Fourteen-year-old chef Greg Grossman has signed a production deal to develop and star in his own reality TV show.

Grossman and New York-based Picture This Television ("Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List") are teaming to land the professional teen chef a series.

"The moment we met Greg, we knew he was a one-of-a-kind-talent," said Picture This partner Bryan Scott. "It's not every day you encounter a kid who goes to junior high school during the day and cooks with some of the world's leading chefs at night."

Grossman was raised in East Hampton, N.Y., and started catering when he was 11 years old. His work has drawn media headlines and the interest of celebrity chefs.
