Girl and the Goat
Thursday, June 7th, 2018
Chicago has an incredible food scene and I wanted to experience it. There are a lot of great restaurants and a lot of famous chefs, unfortunately, getting reservations isn’t easy and need to be made months in advance. I had been planning out this trip since my last visit to Chicago in February. In February, I discovered that some of the places that I wanted to go took months to get reservations. I decided that I would return when it was warmer and with reservations. I had some help from some good friends, Cheryl, Frank and Falise who I worked with in Bolingbrook and suggested different places or talked about the areas to explore.
This trip is about indulging and I intend on enjoying every minute of it. I will be enjoyed by Sophon and Cindy. Besides eating, we are also planning on other activities depending including an Architecture tour and the Big Bus tour. I am sure there will be other activities depending on the weather.
Sophon and I arrived and we checked into the JW Marriott. Knowing that dinner was going to be late, we headed down the street to the Berghoff Restaurant to have a late lunch. The Berghoff is Chicago’s oldest restaurant, serving German food. We split a pretzel and a pork schnitzel entrée being careful not to eat too much, we were headed to the Girl and the Goat for dinner.
We arrived at the Girl and the Goat a little early, we decided to walk around Randolph St. There must be a chocolate factory around there, the streets smelled of chocolate. As we walked around, we happened upon Graham Elliot’s restaurant Gideon Sweet, we stopped for a drink before heading over to the Girl and the Goat.
The Girl and the Goat is Stephanie Izard’s restaurant. Stephanie is currently on Iron Chef and was a winner of Top Chef. She own’s several restaurants in the area and would have loved to have had the time to go to each of them. Her restaurant did not disappoint. We enjoyed every dish and yes, Goat was on the menu and it was absolutely delicious.
