When it comes to real red meat, game leads the pack on chic menus coast to coast — with choices including Alaskan caribou or elk tenderloin (Saddle Peak Lodge of Calabasas, Calif.), lion scaloppine (Serbian Crown in Great Falls, Va.) and kosher venison at Levana in Manhattan. Of course, there’s another little catch: Paradoxically, the game served in restaurants isn’t actually wild. It is illegal for hunters to sell what they bag, so most of this meat is farmed, though on a small scale.
No fixed plans. Not intent upon arriving.
