Cava Mezze chef Dimitri Moshovitis won Lamb Jam Sunday with his lamb shoulder half-smoke topped with lamb chili and mustard tzatziki. He will represent the District in the finals on Sept. 28 in New York City hoping to be named Lamb Jam Master. The national competition put on by American Lamb gives chefs the opportunity to showcase the protein's versatility. Dishes were divided into four categories: Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Asian and Latin.
