The reality should be a bit more appealing. SPQR's Matthew Accarrino has been tagged Lamb Jam "host," to a dozen and a half local chefs who, together, read like the roster of some S.F. food-world rockestra: Cosentino, Zare, Lee, Wong, Mah. They'll be engaged in what organizers call "friendly chef competitions," less testosterone-fueled, we figure, than the one at the heart of Cochon 555.
There'll be California wineries represented, too (Four Vines, Perry Creek, Boeger, and a dozen more) ― $50 gets you in the door to taste lamb done more ways than you probably ever imagined possible, your gullet irrigated with a good showing of the state's vino. Who knows, you might just experience a conversion from eater-spectator to brand lambassador for the tasty little creatures. At the very least you can call yourself, as the California trade group does, an F.O.L., fan of lamb. Baaa.
