And We Have A Winner! Top Chef Is Stephanie Izard
![]()
Congrats to Stephanie Izard, who became the first female Top Chef when she out-cooked her competition this week on Bravo’s “Top Chef: Chicago”.
Izard, 31, currently calls Chicago home, so it was only fitting that she claimed the prize ($100,000 in seed money to help open a restaurant, furnished by the makers of the Glad family of products, a feature in Food & Wine magazine, a showcase at the Annual Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, a gourmet dream vacation in the French Alps, and, of course, the title of “Top Chef”).
While I was a wee bit sad that the uber-creative chef Richard didn’t take the prize, I was thrilled that evil Lisa didn’t win (really, I would have been happy with anyone but her). And while I always liked Stephanie, it was only after my favorite (Antonia) was eliminated, that I really started rooting for her, so I’m very glad she won best in “Top Chef”!
