Lamb Jam 2025 Ignites Culinary Excitement in San Francisco

The San Francisco stop on the 2025 Lamb Jam Tour turned out to be a sensational, sold-out event dedicated to the delights of American Lamb! Held on June 18th at The Midway, this gathering brought together 200 enthusiastic lamb lovers for an evening filled with bold flavors, culinary artistry, and unforgettable experiences.

Guests indulged in seven chef-curated lamb bites from top culinary talent, showcasing the richness of American Lamb. The lively atmosphere featured live DJ music, a caricature artist, a fun photo booth, and a custom spice bar for creating signature blends. Attendees enjoyed craft cocktails, local brews, and pours from a local Vineyard, making it a vibrant and delicious event!

Local producer and ASI’s Vice President Joe Pozzi mingled with guests and chefs to spread the word about sourcing his lamb at local Whole Foods stores.

“This event built on the recent Lamb Jam tour stops, and set the stage for upcoming events,” says ALB Chairman Jeff Ebert. “Lamb Jam continues to be a fan favorite and is a great way to introduce more people to delicious American Lamb dishes.”

The competition celebrated incredible culinary creativity, culminating in a thrilling showdown among talented chefs. The event attracted enthusiastic food lovers who eagerly sampled each dish, cheering for their favorites and participating in the voting process.

Jason Halverson, chef and founder of Hi Neighbor Restaurant Group, took home the top prize with his Lamb & Truffle Sausage, followed by Piglet & Co's second-place offering of Lamb Fried Rice Croquette and Abacá's third-place Lamb Inasal Skewers.

San Francisco’s event built on the momentum from previous Lamb Jam events, showcasing the excitement and passion surrounding American Lamb. The tour now heads to Seattle, Denver, and Boston!
