Girl & The Goat

James Beard Award-winning Chef Stephanie Izard–also the first female chef to win Bravo’s Top Chef—continues to impress with exciting and fresh New American cuisine at this Randolph Street stalwart. It can be difficult to get a reservation, so a good alternate option is to snag a seat at the bar area (the cocktails are delicious) and order off the bar menu which features all of Izzard’s signature dishes. And yes, one of her signature dishes is “Pig Face.” The name is jarring, but the product—cheeks, snout, and tongue seasoned with cilantro and lime, rolled like porchetta and cooked in a wood-fired oven and then topped with a fried egg—is delicious.
