Stephanie Izard, the force behind Girl and the Goat and other Chicago and Los Angeles restaurants, discusses her life and career to date.
For the past two decades, Stephanie Izard has steadily amassed a stellar culinary and hospitality career as a chef and restaurateur. First introduced to a national audience when she won Season 4 of Top Chef, which she immediately followed with her first restaurant, Chicago's Girl and the Goat. The instantaneous and overwhelming success of that restaurant led to additional "Goat" restaurants and other projects in Chicago and Los Angeles. In this conversation, Stephanie shares the origins of her eclectic culinary style, the story of the restaurant she owned and operated before Girl and the Goat, and much more. We had a great time, and know you'll enjoy listening to this one.
