Top Chef Winner - Stephanie Izard
Congratulations to Stephanie Izard, the winner of the fourth season of Top Chef.
Stephanie Izard smiles with a win under her chef hat.
Stephanie Izard prepared lamb with olives, braised pistachios and berries to secure her win. For her efforts, she was awarded $100,000, a showcase at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen and a spread in Food & Wine magazine.
Of her win, Stephanie said “I won Top Chef—holy s–t!” the 31-year-old Chicago resident said. “This is the biggest thing that has happened in my life. My life’s about to change, it’s going to be absolutely insane. I’m so glad I was able to pull through and, after all this hard work—and maybe doubting a little bit—this is a reaffirmation that this is what I’m supposed to do with my life.”
Stephanie is the first female contestant to win Top Chef. We wish her much success in her career as a professional chef.
