Meeting the Girl: Stephanie Izard (But Not the Goat)

I met Stephanie Izard a few weekends ago because ChicagoMag.com was conducting a videoshoot on how to create a BBQ. It took place for most of a morning, but was a really cool experience: not only to participate in a videoshoot, but also to see how one is put together.

Of course Izard was endearing, friendly and funny. She’s very personable and easy going. I enjoyed watching her chat up the host and the audience.

Because I’m a fangirl, and because I could, I asked Izard to pose with me in a picture. She was very courteous, even though it’s an awkward situation all around. (Check out my awesome elephant dress I got from Anthropologie recently!)

Overall, I had a great time.

So follow Izard @StephAndTheGoat to learn more about her new restaurant, cookbook and more.

Also watch the teaser video (see if you can spot me)., watch each video in the grilling series and check out the behind the scenes photos (see me on slide 34).
