We enjoyed every thing there and honestly it may seem a little expensive, but for the quality of food you are getting and being in Chicago, the cost is of no concern. My Granny Lou used to say that a good meal was made of love. You know. That special dash of this and that. A little kick of "what, what" that's made espcially with you in mind. That's how my meal at Girl & The Goat felt. Thoughtful, innovative. Made especially with me in mind. I don't think I've ever been so happy in my life that I was no longer a vegan and could partake in all the meaty goodness that Stephanie has to offer.

So here's how much I loved G&G: I went back solo two nights later and ate in the lounge, where you don't need a reservation. More green beans, wiley point oysters, and got to try the pork shank, courtesy of patrons sitting next to me on a very bad date who didn't touch it. Score! The food is the star, but don't s
kimp on the drinks: The "Best of 3" is best in show! Stephanie has created a real winner in the West Randolph corridor. In every dish, you can taste how much she loves what she does, and that she knows she's good at it. The fact that I thought of my dear, departed Granny Lou and her mantra that a meal should be made with love let me know that my effusive praise for G&G was not off-base. Stephanie brought the
