Molly Fienning

Molly Fienning was running a successful e-commerce business when she tasted the hot sauce created by Chef Geoff Rhyne at his restaurant in Charleston, SC.

Every batch is handcrafted in South Carolina using ingredients from local farmers.

What was your favorite part about competing on—and becoming the first woman to win— Bravo’s Top Chef?

The best part of being a woman on Top Chef were all the awesome female friendships that came out of it—even after sharing one bathroom with 8 people!

You’ve built a tremendous brand centered around goats. Can you explain the significance of the goat to you?

My last name, “Izard,” is a type of mountain goat in the French Pyrenees! I thought it would be a fun connection when we were thinking of names for Girl & the Goat, and we’ve stuck with the theme ever since.

What inspired you to want to go into culinary arts?

My mom was a really great cook. She used to find interesting recipes in cookbooks and had a lot of fun creating them. I loved cooking with her from a young age, and when I was figuring out what to do with my life, I wanted to explore an option that I loved.
