Stephanie Izard was born in the Chicago suburb of Evanston but grew up in 
Stamford, Connecticut, where her parents got her hooked on food with their 
themed dinner parties, weekly menus posted on the fridge and a life-changing
trip to Epcot where she couldn’t wait to get home and recreate the crepes she 
ate in “France.” As much as she loved cooking (and eating), she went the traditional 
route first and got a sociology degree from University of Michigan. Soon thereafter, 
she discovered that all she really wanted to do was cook. After graduating from the 
Le Cordon Bleu program at the Scottsdale Culinary Institute, she worked at several 
restaurants, including the Camelback Inn Resort & Spa, before making the decision 
to return to Chicago in 2001. Stephanie is the winner of season four of 
Bravo’s Top Chef, owner and executive chef at Girl and the Goat, author of her first 
cookbook, Girl in the Kitchen: How a Top Chef Cooks, Thinks, Shops, Eats, 
and Drinks.
Location: Chicago, IL, USA
