Toronto restaurateur Jen Agg, founder of The Black Hoof, tells the story of her life and career in the restaurant industry. Agg describes growing up in suburban Ontario, working her way through restaurants and building her own businesses.

The book mixes memoir with sharp commentary on food culture.
