    Jen Agg doxxed me once I’ll never forget it. When she realized that I wasn’t coming for her she never publicly apologized. Only to me in DMs. I had a locked profile due to a stalker who threatened to kill my kid so that was a cool added bonus.

    It’s funny that she feels like that there was gatekeeping when she was coming up in Toronto’s restaurant scene.

    Like it’s fucking Toronto, what gates are there to keep?

    We literally just got the Michellin guide a minute ago…

    Two of my favorites – Jen Agg for her restaurants and Alison Roman recipes got me through covid.

    I know we don’t like Alison Roman but oh my goodness her anchovies & shallot pasta is so delicious I crave it every week.

    Jesus Christ you guys are really hung up on her critiquing Marie Kondo and Chrissy Teigen (known asshole)?? Her quotes are not remotly racist she just had the misfortune of critizing them in peak 2020. Let a bitch cook!

    This is such an innocuous article. Her recipes are great, she is charming in her videos and she seems pretty down to earth.

    Ha that’s so funny, the one celeb chef that actually left me a nasty comment and then whined in her IG stories the next day was Alison Roman herself. All over a nice, benign comment about Mac n Cheese. I hear she’s a good tipper but difficult and a handful in restaurants, I believe it.
