A Dinner Feast with Stephanie Izard
You may know Stephanie Izard from her stint on Top Chef where she was the first female chef to smoke the competition—we’re most impressed, though, by the fact that she opened her first restaurant when she was only 27. Toques off. Born and raised in Chicago, Izard’s Girl & the Goat is one of the city’s most-acclaimed restaurants (it won a James Beard award in 2011, among other honors), which isn’t surprising: It’s a nightly showcase of culinary fireworks and unexpected flavor combinations. Somehow we convinced Izard to throw a dinner party to celebrate our Chicago #gooppop at her other celebrated restaurant, Little Goat Kitchen & Terrace, and the food blew our collective minds. Below, the recipes.
