Lamb On Verge Of Entering Fast Food Market
ORLANDO, Fla. “Make
mine a lamburger and fried to go
please.” This might not be a com
mon order at fast food drive-up
windows today, but it soon could
be if lamb makes its way into the
fast food world.
Attendees of last week’s
American Sheep Industry Associ
ation’s convention learned about
lamb’s potential in the fast food
lane. Marketing experts told con
vention goers lamb has great
chances of being a major item on
fast food menus. “We are just get
ting started,” said ASl’s director
of Foodservice Marketing Tom
Bashaw. “We think there is tre
mendous potential in this niche.”

ered for fast food menus are a
lamb sausage pizza topping, lamb
kabobs, a lamburger seasoned
with ranch dressing and lamb gyro
combinations. Bashaw explained
to convention goers that most of
these new entrees come from the
shoulder section of a lamb carcass.
“Just imagine the positive impact
this would have on the induustry,"
he said.
Bashaw told the group that
lamb would draw new consumers
to fast food restaurants. The major
fast food chains, he explained,
work toward broadening their
base. He said they want new pro
ducts that will draw new custom
ers, not new products that will
compete with existing items.
“Lamb has an upscale image,” he
Speakers from Penn State Uni
versity include Alan Mac Nab,

H-v,
said, “so it should draw an upscale
crowd.”
There are still some major fac
tors to be reckoned with before
lamb hits the big time. Bashaw
said a consistent supply is very
important Fast food restaurants
depend and make their money on
consistency, he told the crowd.
Another factor is a consistently
lean product Bashaw said these
factors were just two more reasons
why growers should push for the
implementation of a coupled qual
ity and yield grading program in
the industry.
Sheep producers from across
the nation also heard from a local
fast food entrepreneur who mark
ets a Hovan lamb sandwich in the
southeastern section of the United
States. Nicholas Mazzawi, area
store manager for Hovan Gour
met explained that his restaurant
featured the sandwich and conse
quently experienced a 22 percent
increase in sales.
