Kathleen mentioned the Girl and the Goat in her most recent post, and in lieu of writing a real post (because I'm about to go grocery shopping and tackle a game theory problem set), I have a short photo essay.
Located in the West Loop, Girl and the Goat is the kind of place that requires reservations weeks in advance (at least), even for the odd dinner times on weekdays. Its claim of fame revolves it dazzling dishes, chef Stephanie Izard (who was the winner of Top Chef in its fourth season), and actual goat on the menu. With eight of us at dinner, we had just enough people to split an entire goat leg, but eight different plates that we shared.
I didn't manage to snap a picture of everything we ate, but here is a small selection. Dishes not pictured include escargot ravioli, tuna with a watermelon relish, and something with butternut squash that also featured a mushroom ragu. (Also, photo uploading messed up the quality of the photos. They look much better in iPhoto - I promise!)

| Beka wrote on Facebook: "The girls ate all the goat." This is actually not true, but we did eat a lot of it. |
