Stephanie Izard was born in Chicago, Illinois. She grew up in Stamford, Connecticut, and attended the University of Michigan followed by Scottsdale Culinary Institute in Arizona, then returned to Chicago in 2000 to pursue her culinary career. She opened her first restaurant, Scylla, in Bucktown in 2004. A few years later she had the opportunity to compete on Bravo's Top Chef, which she won along with being named fan favorite. After taking much time and care in choosing the location in the West Loop, Izard's renowned restaurant Girl & the Goat opened in Summer 2010. Little Goat Diner opened across the street just a few years later, and then Duck Duck Goat around the corner on Fulton Market in 2016. Girl & the Goat was nominated best new restaurant by the James Beard Foundation in 2011 and Izard won the Beard award for Best Chef Great Lakes in 2013. She was also named one of Food & Wine Magazine's "Best New Chefs" in 2010.
