"Since winning season four of Top Chef in 2008, Stephanie Izard (Stephanie Izard, Best Chef: Great Lakes, 2013) has been one of the city’s most popular chefs. It’s still tough to get reservations at her original restaurant, Girl & the Goat where fans continue to flock in to try bold, signature dishes like oven-roasted pig face and goat empanadas. Izard capped off her quick rise to fame with a Best Chef: Great Lakes award in 2013. She’s since expanded her footprint with acclaimed restaurants Duck Duck Goat, Little Goat Diner, and Cabra, plus an LA location of Girl & the Goat and a line of condiments sold in grocery stores." - Naomi Waxman
