Last week, I was (for the 2nd time) a judge at the Lamb Jam competition at Eastern Market. Above are some pictures, and below are the winners. In an interesting decision, the winner of Best Shoulder (who later on won People’s Choice), was not the shoulder dish that one Best in Show. So, Occidental Grill moves on in the competition to the next show.
Best in Shank: Chef Erik Bruner-Yang from Maketto with cumin lamb shank chow fun
Best in Leg: Chef Victor Albisu from Del Campo with lamb empanadas
Best in Ground: Chef Wes Morton from Art and Soul with curried lamb sausage
Best in Shoulder: Chef Dimitri Moshovitis from Cava Mezze Grill with lamb Benedict
People’s Choice: Chef Dimitri Moshovitis from Cava Mezze Grill with lamb Benedict
Best in Show: Chef Matt Baker & Rodney Scruggs from Occidental Grill with a lamb “Dagwood” sandwich
