Lamb and More Lamb

[ 0 ] April 16, 2012 | Johnna

A couple of months ago I talked your ear off about lamb and now I have everyone asking me how that turned out. The lamb turned out absolutely delicious but the competition quickly got fierce and I was knocked off the chopping block. Now a month later, I’m here again to share more lamb but this time I will not do the cooking.

Twenty-two area chefs will participate in the 2nd Annual Lamb Jam courtesy the American Lamb Board. On Monday, May 21, 2012 (6 pm-9 pm), lamb, breweries and wineries will fill up Eastern Market. Chefs will compete for the following titles: Best of Show, 1st Place Awards for Shoulder, Leg of Lamb, Shank and Loin tastes. Guests will also have the opportunity to vote and determine the People’s Choice winner. The People’s Choice Award for 2011 went to John Critchley from Urbana. Wonder who will take the title this year?? Purchase tickets here.
