Izard’s career took a significant turn when she joined the cast of Bravo’s “Top Chef” during its fourth season. She quickly made a name for herself with her creative and fearless approach to cooking. Her signature dish on the show, a duck dish, wowed both the judges and viewers, earning her the title of Top Chef. This win catapulted her into the national spotlight and kickstarted her career in the culinary world.
Following her “Top Chef” victory, Chef Stephanie Izard returned to Chicago and set her sights on opening her own restaurant. In 2010, she realized her dream with the opening of Girl & the Goat. The restaurant became an instant hit, known for its adventurous menu and creative small plates. Izard’s eclectic and innovative approach to cuisine, combining flavors from various cultures and making use of seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients, became her trademark.
