JENNIFER JOHNSON: I LOVE LAMB. LAMB, LAMB, LAMB >>>

Folks at Gateway to India in Tacoma have confirmed that their sister site in Gig Harbor did not open last weekend as planned. Now they’re shooting for mid-October at the earliest.

“No, it’s not open yet. We’re still waiting on deliveries,” explained Tacoma Gateway staffer over the phone last night.

Not that I’m holding my breath or anything, but I am very impatient to see what dishes will be on the Gig Harbor menu. My curiosity has been piqued with their promise of a bigger kitchen and more meat dishes.

I love lamb. Gateway in Tacoma makes a wonderful creamy korma ghost lamb. With more space for larger broilers, I can only imagine what they can turn out across the bridge.

Dare I dream of rack of lamb?

Possibly some lamb chops that melt off the bone?

Oh, let it be so.
