The girl is on a roll.
Stephanie Izard of "Top Chef" fame and the instant hit Girl & the Goat on West Randolph is one of Food & Wine magazine's Best New Chefs of 2011.
A super-excited Izard tweeted this morning: "i think the secret is out... off to early morning photo shoot for f&w best new chef!! woooooohooo! super excited!"
Izard joins the likes of Mike Sheerin and Paul Virant in getting the honor. Her restaurant is up for a James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant. The winner will be announced May 9.
Sun-Times Food editor Janet Rausa Fuller is always thinking about her next meal.
