Lamb Jam Participating Chef Cooks Up American Lamb on Seattle TV
Fox 13 Seattle hosted Chef Nico Murratore of Mamnoon restaurant to share his Lamb Jam Restaurant Month dish, American Lamb Sharma Croquette, using braised lambshoulder paired with spring onion yogurt, pickled rhubarb relish, preserved lemon sauce and pomegranate molasses. Murratore had the opportunity to promote Lamb Jam, the American LambBoard (ALB) website and the news anchor closed the segment saying that she “loves lamb!” Check out this great TV segment here: https://www.fox13seattle.com/video/1225212.
The American Lamb Jam Restaurant Month promotion featured eight different chefs in six key markets dishing up their most innovative and creative American Lamb specials. ALB's month-long dine-around campaign wraps up in May in Austin, Boston, Denver, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, D.C.
More than 2,000 diners submitted online votes to decide the People's Choice Award. In addition, three foodie influencers in each market served as secret dining judges. They visited all participating restaurants and evaluated each dish for presentation, taste, and creativity. The winning chefs from each city will receive a trip to Napa, CA, where they will cook and enjoy an American Lamb lunch at the Culinary Institute of America and visit a nearby regenerative agriculture sheep ranch.
Lamb Jam promotions appeared through ALB's social channels, paid social posts, brand collaborations and Google ads. A breakdown of participating cities, chefs and restaurants is available at AmericanLamb.com/lamb-jam.
Funded through the national American Lamb Checkoff, the ALB invests the industry’s valuable resources to foster profitability and create opportunities for all sectors involved in producing American Lamb. All segments of the American Lamb Industry contribute to building the demand for American Lamb through mandatory checkoff payments. Unlike other US livestock checkoffs, funding is only collected from domestic lamb, not imported lamb. This allows ALB to focus all its efforts on increasing demand for American Lamb.
