"Since winning season four of Top Chef in 2008, Stephanie Izard 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, Eater Staff
