The Table Boss of Toronto

Aug 17 She’s cutting, sharp, occasionally irascible, and pretty much always right. We go inside General Public with Jen Agg, the restaurateur who made everyone give a damn about Toronto. Restaurateur and bestselling author Jen Agg knows Toronto better than anyone in the business. She understands what her customers need—and what they deserve. As she launches her latest book, Table Boss, this week, we’re releasing a new episode of OPEN, filmed inside her newest restaurant, General Public. From the playlist and the wallpaper down to the off-menu platonic ideal of a burger that is only available during happy hour, every detail is engineered with ruthless precision to her own taste. The OPEN crew visited General Public just days after it opened to see how Jen Agg creates a world entirely her own—and why Toronto is better for it.
