Last night Stephanie Izard was named the winner of the fourth season of Top Chef. She becomes the first female contestant to chop, stir and sauté her way to the top of the food chain. Stephanie said that “I won Top Chef—holy s–t! 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,” Izard added, acknowledging how many times she appeared close to letting her nerves get the best of her.
Stephanie won $100,000 and a showcase at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen and a spread in Food & Wine magazine.
Stephanie is from Stamford, Connecticut but currently resides in Chicago. She graduated from the University of Michigan and the Scottsdale Culinary Institute.
After 13 episodes of the reality television show Top Chef Stephanie proved her prowess in the kitchen. She’s made a wedding cake, recovered from spoiled pork belly and pulled unique dishes out of her hat at all stops.
Now she will be known as Top Chef for sometime to come
