Chicago's Stephanie Izard is the first woman to win Bravo's hit cooking competition 'Top Chef.' Last night, the inventive culinary artist appeared stunned after hearing her name announced as the Season Four winner.

"What? Really? Oh, my God, thank you!" she said after having a second to react. Finalist Richard Blais was teary-eyed in his last interview, and the season's least-liked competitor, Lisa Fernandes, said she was disappointed she didn't win.

Among other prizes, Stephanie is the winner of $100,000 to start her own restaurant, a feature in Food & Wine magazine and a showcase at the annual Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, Colo.
