American Lamb Jam 2018 Tour Seattle June 24th
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – (JUNE 7, 2018) On Sunday, June 24th, 14 chefs from the hottest restaurants in town will duke it out for the title of Lamb Jam Seattle Champion! From lamb belly ramen to lamb ham cubanos, these chefs will take food lovers on a culinary tour across the globe as they compete in 4 cuisine categories: Asian, Latin, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern. And the gastronomic experience doesn’t end there; bartenders, winemakers, brewers and culinary artisans of all sorts will join in on the fun. Whose American lamb dish will reign supreme? Attendees and local food media will decide.
Seattle is the fourth stop on this multi-city cook off that bring together the nation’s top culinary talent to
celebrate the 80,000 family operated farms and ranches raising lamb across the nation. Victors are
named in each global flavor category and a “Best in Show” champion will advance to the finale later this
year to compete with Lamb Jam winners from Seattle, San Francisco, Austin, Washington, D.C., and
Boston, for the ultimate title of “Lamb Jam Master.” Lamb Jam launched in Seattle 8 years ago and
moved on to the National tour circuit the following year. Seattle is one of the strongest markets in the
country for American lamb and it can be found in a variety of cuts at all major grocery outlets.
Available tickets include VIP ($125) and Main Event ($75) and can be purchased online here. For more

educational event. Attendees will walk away with great ideas for preparing lamb at home and see how
approachable it is to work with as well as adding adventure to the dining table!
