Wordfest Presents Jen Agg

Anthony Bourdain once noted, “Whatever Jen Agg says is worth listening to.” Which is why you’ll want to be there when Wordfest presents this late summer experience with Agg celebrating her new memoir, Table Boss: How to Build a Restaurant When Your Life Falls Apart (A Love Story).

If you haven’t been lucky enough to dine at one of Agg’s Michelin-cailbre restaurants, you might have seen her delivering tough love and business-saving solutions as the new co-host of Food Network’s Restaurant Impossible: Last Call.

Wordfest’s conversation will be hosted by Calgary celebrity chefs Connie DeSousa & John Jackson (CHARCUT) and includes an audience Q & A and book signing. Owl’s Nest Books will be serving up Table Boss, along with Agg’s previous bestseller, I Hear She’s a Real Bitch.
