Girl & the Goat

Stephanie Izard's live-fire cooking, loud, generous, and endlessly craveable.

The LA outpost of the Chicago icon delivers wood-fired, globally-minded small plates built for sharing. It's high-energy and unpretentious, so go with a group and order too much. The signatures earn the hype: the roasted pig face, that wood-grilled broccoli everyone talks about, and blistered green beans you'll end up fighting over.

Best for: A big, boisterous dinner with the table full of plates
