Not only was it meatier, it had a flap of fat about an inch thick. The chef insisted that it was lamb. I’ve never seen a lamb chop weigh in at 12 ounces before!

It could have been lamb, but the saddle. Check out that NY Times article Riley posted above.

Interesting! I wonder if it’s still the case after 2005? Well, it definitely fooled me: that thing was meaty.

According to NY Times, it’s lamb.

Natalie — Was it obviously meatier? I hope the kitchen at least confirmed you were right. There are people out there who shouldn’t be waiting tables and could care less what their restaurant is serving.

I once ordered lamb at a restaurant and was most definitely given a mutton chop. As the lamb carried a $65 price tag, I was very upset to have been served mutton. The restaurant didn’t understand why I was so upset. This post makes me feel more normal, like there are others out there who know the difference!

Its not mutton, it is older lamb, but still less than 1 year old.

Congrats on the new job! Nice write-up; I’ve always been intrigued by Keens and wondered if the mutton chop was worth the hype, and it sounds like it is..
