Lamb Jam is Baaack!

Lamb Jam, a coast-to-coast celebration of American lamb featuring top chefs from 7 markets, is kicking off during Lamb Lovers’ month in February.

Participating restaurants in Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Denver, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, D.C. will offer one-of-a-kind happy hour lamb dishes throughout a monthlong Dine Around, highlighting the versatility and flavor of American lamb.  Following the Dine Around, chefs will showcase their lamb creations at the Lamb Jam Happy Hour Tour, tasting events and cookoffs at various venues throughout the spring and summer. 

Consumer attendees will have the chance to vote on their favorite dish, while enjoying beverage pairings, games and exclusive American Lamb swag.  The winning chef from each market will move on to compete against the winning chefs in other participating cities in the Lamb Jam Finale.

A portion of the proceeds from each event will support World Central Kitchen, the nonprofit founded by renowned chef José Andrés who is first to the frontlines providing fresh meals in response to crises and has served more than 450 million nourishing meals around the world.

Live events will be held on:

• March 26 in Atlanta

• April 16 in Austin

• May 21 in Washington, D.C.

• June 18 in San Francisco

• July 30 in Seattle

• August 20 in Denver

• September in Boston
