Outpost of Stephanie Izard’s popular West Loop bakery and cafe to serve sandwiches, soup, bread and Stumptown coffee

Fans of Little Goat Bread, the cafe next door to Stephanie Izard’s Little Goat Diner in the West Loop, will soon be able to snag sandwiches and Stumptown coffee a few blocks east thanks to a new outpost inside the Chicago French Market.

The booth opens Friday and is located between Wisma and Fumare Meats on the market’s north side. In addition to breads, sandwiches and soup, Little Goat will sell Izard’s new line of rubs and sauces, called The Flavor by Stephanie Izard.

The Chicago French Market opened in 2009 inside Ogilvie Transportation Center at 131 N. Clinton Street. Little Goat is the 31st vendor to open there.

“Energetic” chef Stephanie Izard “balances flavors like Monet did with his color palette”, creating “top-notch nose-to-tail cuisine” (“duck tongues, lamb hearts” and “pig face, anyone”?), vegetables that “will blow your mind” and other “innovative” small plates that “grab the brass ring” at her “cozy”, surprisingly “reasonable” West Loop New American where the “passionate” staff’s suggestions will “never lead you astray”; “incredibly noisy” digs are easily overlooked by “foodies” who insist it’s the “future of dining”; P.S. “good luck getting a reservation.”

“If you’ve pigeonholed Chicago as a deep dish and hot dog town, think again. With 19 Michelin starred restaurants, 64 establishments with Bib Gourmand honors and kitchens full of James Beard Award winners and Top Chef finalists, this city’s become one of the greatest dining destinations in the world.” Click here to read more.

“The biggest night in food has come to a close, and everyone in attendanceshould be turning the corner of their hangovers right around now, so we think it’s safe to relive the fun. Last night’s James Beard Awards unfolded in the beautiful Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center, and we were lucky enough to snag a spot on the red carpet as our favorite chefs doffed their jackets in favor of more glam gear (a sight to behold, we’re telling you).” Click here to read more.
