About The Fat Lamb

Chef Dallas McGarity grew up in rural South Carolina. His mom and mamaw instilled a passion for food at an early age. After graduating from culinary school at Johnson & Wales University and working in Charleston, SC for many years, he moved to Louisville, KY in 2004.  Chef Dallas was encouraged that the Louisville food scene had much to offer a young chef and fell in love with the city. After working at several fine dining places in Louisville as Executive Chef, he was ready to open a restaurant as both Executive Chef and Owner.  With the help of his wife, Laura, The Fat Lamb Modern Kitchen & Bar opened in November of 2016. The small, open-kitchen concept has received a great response from the highlands neighborhood within which it is located and continues to serve both local patrons and visitors upscale comfort food with an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients.
