But there could only be one King of this Lamb Cook-Off and the winner of this evening was Chef Micha

On Thursday March 21, Grapes for Humanity omni hotel richmond virginia put together BAHHH! The Great Lamby Cook-Off held at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel. The concept of the evening was simple: 12 chefs, 12 lamb dishes and 12 wine pairings with proceeds all going towards a great cause. That cause being helping children's education by constructing a needed school in Guatemala.
Each offering up their different variations of how lamb should be consumed and taken in. Some notable offerings came about in the form of a braised lamb empanada. I was able to chat briefly with Chef David Junek as he was plating all his dishes to hand out to guest (the room was busy and full) , as he had a stressed look on his face. I asked him if he was in the weeds and he said: No, no. This is a dish I made all the time. I m just having fun.
Next up, we made our way over to Chef Michael Pataran s table where he was serving up a beautiful lamb curry with coconut, lime and chili. All the flavours omni hotel richmond virginia perfectly married together and made for a delicious and warm winter dish. Something I would love to make myself at home.
We next made our way over to Chef Wing Li s table from Linda Modern Thai. The lineup around his table way very long, but the presentation for completely eatable one-bite dish, I can see why. A traditional Thai dish with dry curried lamb in a vermecilli basket with lime and chili. On the side, they were serving up what was explained as traditional Thai street-food with Mieng Kum (betel leaves stuffed with lots of other things). One word: exceptional.
One thing is for certain, Barque certainly does know how to make a sausage. Chef David Neinstein prepared his lamb sausage in a simple sauce that was simple and perfect and not at all dried out. I did forget to ask how long it was aged for. But thankfully, I know that Barque does take it s meat seriously.
Other noteable mentions for the evening were Executive Chef Ryo Ozawa – Edo who created a lamb stirfry with kale (one of my favorite vegetables) and Chef Collin Thornton – Fairmount Royal York who had lamb with polenta.
But there could only be one King of this Lamb Cook-Off and the winner of this evening was Chef Michael Pataran. In in a close second place (according to the judges) was Chef Alan Liu. Each judge took home a pan set and the top title of King of Lamby Cook-Off.
