Working closely with local growers including Verrill Farm in Concord and top protein purveyors like River Rock Farm in Mass. and award-winning Brandt Beef in Calif., Executive Chef David Verde and Consulting Chef Daniel Bruce have created a cool weather menu featuring sophisticated takes on classic American fare, bringing new life to comforting fall flavors, according to a company press release. In addition to signature all-natural steaks, chops, and fresh New England seafood, Chopps’ seasonal menu includes the following highlights:

• New Appetizers include Bison Carpaccio, a deeply flavored take on the classic raw beef preparation, featuring thin-sliced Grand Range Colorado bison served with radish, burrata, basil, arugula, and pickled onions.

• Chops at Chopps and Steaks, butchered in-house and cooked to perfection, include timeless cuts as well as seasonal standouts like the indulgent 34 oz. Tomahawk Ribeye Chop for Two from Pineland Farms in Maine, the Kurobuta Pork Chop from Snake River Farms in Idaho, and the Dry Aged Chopped Sirloin, an elegant take on humble chopped steak with wild mushrooms and onion.

• Perfect for sipping with a glass of wine from Chopps’ impressive collection, this season’s standout Small Plates include Duck Two Ways—seared breast and slow-rendered duck confit with sweet potato hash—as well as light handmade Gnocchi, simply served in a beurre blanc with lardons and maitake mushrooms.

• Arriving fresh from local suppliers every day, Atlantic Fresh seafood selections include Georges Bank Diver Scallops served with peak-of-season fall ingredients: carrot-ginger purée, radishes, turnips, and kale. An indulgent Maine Lobster Gratinée with Vermont cheddar and house-made rotini is served piping hot in a casserole.

• To round out the perfect meal, guests can choose from a variety of locally-sourced Sides like Roasted Fingerlings, classic Creamed Spinach, ever-popular Tots, and frequently changing preparations highlighting the latest produce from Verrill Farm.

“Fall is an inspiring time to cook and dine in New England,” explains Chef Verdo. “My mentor, Chef Daniel Bruce, and I have worked together to capture the flavors of fall in New England in a distinctive way. We are excited to invite guests in to warm up with our menu of elevated cold weather classics, best enjoyed with a glass of wine or cocktail.”
