Over the years, I've been lucky enough to eat at a lot of good restaurants. In every city, there tends to be a favorite restaurant that I try to eat at every time in town. Whether it's Totto Ramen in New York, Ramen Dojo in San Mateo, El Tiempo in Houston, or Ad Hoc in Napa, I make it one of my usual stops when I'm in town.
On my latest trip to Chicago, I found a new favorite restaurant that I plan on visiting every time I'm in town. The Girl and the Goat is the creation of Stephanie Izard, Master Chef Season 4 winner. After winning Season 4, she opened Girl and the Goat in 2010 in Chicago's West Loop
