Known as “the lamb guy” by top chefs across the country, Craig Rogers specializes in superior cuts from head to hoof. For this Beard House blowout, our favorite shepherd has rounded up his closest Southern comrades to explore lamb’s versatility through creative interpretations in every course. In addition, sommelier Neal Wavra of northern Virginia restaurant Field & Main will expertly guide guests through fabulous pairings from Boxwood Winery, Williamsburg Winery, and Foggy Ridge Cider.
