À propos de cet audio
A sharp and candid memoir from a star in the restaurant world and an up-and-coming literary voice.
Toronto restaurateur Jen Agg, the woman behind the popular The Black Hoof, Cocktail Bar, Rhum Corner, and Agrikol restaurants, is known for her frank, crystal-sharp, and often hilarious observations and ideas on the restaurant industry and the world around her.
I Hear She's a Real B*tch, her first book, is caustic yet intimate and wryly observant - an unforgettable glimpse into the life of one of the most interesting, smart, trail-blazing voices of this moment.
©2017 Jen Agg (P)2017 Penguin Random House CanadaCe que les critiques en disent
"Whatever Jen Agg says is worth listening to. As owner of Toronto's excellent The Black Hoof, she's one of the most vocal and interesting observers of the peculiar subculture of the restaurant business. I Hear She's a Real B*tch is the book a lot of us have been waiting for. A terrific, beautifully written, frank, and funny memoir, and a compelling argument for pulling down the long outdated system of 'bro' culture that has dominated the industry since what feels like the beginning of time." (Anthony Bourdain)
"Jen Agg's I Hear She's A Real B*tch could help change restaurant culture.... Call her a bitch? She'll take the word and redefine it for you as an empowering adjective. Don't think workplace sexism is a real thing in restaurants? She'll organize a whole conference around the issue, as she did in the fall of 2015 after a Toronto pastry chef launched a human rights complaint over sexual harassment allegations at a King Street restaurant, and call it Kitchen Bitches.... If a generation of cooks followed Kitchen Confidential into the industry on the promised glory of good times and hard living, for largely different reasons - because restaurant ownership is so desperately lacking in diversity and because kitchen culture could sure use a change - with hope, I Hear She's a Real B*tch will do the same." (The Globe and Mail)

For all the Kitchen Bitches
Never have I ever (as a fellow Kitchen Bitch) felt so seen, heard, & understood. This is a fantastic book & I will be purchasing a hard-copy 1000%. Thank you Jen Agg for sharing this with us.

Jen Agg is a Badass!
I loved listening to Jen tell her incredible life story! She was completely fearless in her endeavours and never took no for an answer.
This book is full of so much more than just how to open a restaurant, although I found these chapters captivating. She also shares some great ideas on workplace culture, (which I definitely could translate into my male-dominated workplace) feminism and white privilege, and self awareness. She doesn't shy away from anything and that's why this book is so much more than just a "Girl Boss" how to.
I love that she knows what she wants, and I truly think there are several take aways here (no pun intended!) that can be applied to many aspects of life.

Good toronto come up story
If you’re going to work in the restaurant industry in toronto this is a must read. Really sober realistic stories from what it’s like to run high profile restaurants and also small startup places as well. Some pretty nasty anecdotes and wild stories from Jenn. I’ll be sure to eat at some of her spots now I’m curious about the food

If you love food & drink…
… You will love this! So refreshing to listen to a (successful) women’s experience in the Industry. Jen Agg narrates her tales and trials with Bourdain-like wit. Very smart and entertaining! Highly recommend!

Right up there with Hamilton’s Blood, Bones & Butter
Unfortunately, the crude sexual and drug use references seem forced and out of place, like some one told her to add them after the fact. Other wise it was a good listen.

wish I went to agrikole now!
I loved in Montreal as a chef for a decade and went by agrikole many times. I wish I went when I had the chance. I was more of a vegans social justice chef vs a gourmand, so that's why I didn't know. but I appreciate this book slot. Thanks Jenn, for inspiring another female chef.

A Must Read For Any Canadian
I absolutely loved this audio book, written and performed by Jen Agg. To me, Agg masterfully presents her life story to the reader, which is dotted with wonderful lessons, funny stories, and awesome references to places I know and love in Canada. Great to hear about an amazing Canadian rising above challenges and succeeding at the job she loves. Found I got a lot of personal introspection from listening to this book as well!

Great insight into Toronto’s coolest restaurants.
Loved the honest insights, glimpses of Toronto nostalgia (food scene and haunts) and passion for the industry Jen has.

first half is unnecessary
Like a long preamble preceding a recipe on a food blog, the first third of the book is spent on growing up in Toronto before biting into the mechanics, perils and trials of being a pioneer in the city's restaurant scene. That said, the rest of the book is insightful and good for anyone in the food industry or wondering what makes restauranteurs tick.
