Twenty top Seattle chefs will ewe-night for the third annual American Lamb Jam produced by the American Lamb Board in Seattle on Sunday, October 23, 2011 at Bell Harbor International Conference Center. This ultimate taste-off will feature top chefs and their creative preparations of lusty lamb dishes accompanied by award-winning Washington State wines. Media judging will include awards for Best of Show, 1st Place Awards for Shoulder, Leg of Lamb, Shank and Loin tastes. Guests vote and determine the People’s Choice winner. People’s Choice Award for 2009 and 2010 went to Bobby Moore from The Barking Frog in Woodinville.

In 2010, Chef Mark Bodinet from Copperleaf Restaurant at the Cedarbrook Lodge took home the highest honor bestowed by the media judges – Best in Show – for his Grilled Lamb Shoulder Confit with Creamy Parsnips and Preserved Huckleberries. Chef Bodinet will go on to New York to compete against the Lamb Jam winners from Boston, DC and San Francisco in September. Click here to get a complete list of all the WINNING RECIPES ….
