Izard Taking Her Drunken Goat For A Stroll

By Chuck Sudo in Food on Jul 1, 2009 9:00PM

As if Stephanie Izard doesn't have enough irons in the fire between traveling to trade shows and events, media appearances, working on her video podcasts, making wine, writing a cookbook with Time Out Chicago's Heather Shouse in addition to opening the Drunken Goat in January (and she's already making charcuterie for that, bless her heart), now comes word that she's leading up tot he Drunken Goat's opening with a series of underground dinners.

Izard will be doing five "Wandering Goat" dinners ranging in locales from backyards to warehouses. The first one will go down July 26, a BBQ with Allen Brothers meats and Three Floyds beer (which Steph mentioned she was planning in our November interview with us). The one after that will focus on bacon and all its Christ-on-a-stick goodness. The series will culminate with the introduction of Izard's Drunken Goat Wine, made in conjunction with Saviah Cellars in Washington State (makers of "The Jack").

As if the Izard brand needs any further promotion, she'll be announcing when tickets for the dinners go up for sale by announcing them on her Twitter feed. Once the Tweet announcement happens, tickets (at $50 each) can be purchased at her website.
