Starters: $8-$14; entrees: $20-$34

Three years ago, cowboy chef Tim Love sauntered into town on a trail drive marking James Beard’s 100th birthday. Now he expands his Fort Worth mini-empire with a Flatiron spinoff of this flagship, opened yesterday. What can culinary cowpokes expect from his bill of urban Western cuisine under an antler chandelier?

A bronco-busting menu sampling the local bounty, with nods to wild game and seasonal fish. Saddle up for cinnamon and guajillo braised antelope ribs.

Starters: $8-$12; entrees: $21-$34 Venezuelan-born Alvaro Perez has landed in Times Square by way of Tokyo to open his take on a chophouse tomorrow, with plans of repeating the concept soon in Japan. Got that?

Chef Shane McBride’s menu is a slightly less complicated reworking of the American ilk, where Caesar salad meets frisee aux lardons in a mix of shredded romaine, croutons, a poached egg and bacon; “dirty rice” risotto incorporates duck confit, smoked duck ham and andouille sausage; and short ribs are braised in root beer.
