| - Holler! It was my birthday and day two of my fabulous motorcycle adventure with my husband. Cool in the morning but warming up quickly. The perfect day to hop on IN-62 and roll up the river from Jeffersonville to my new love, Madison. Did it really take me 14 years in Indiana to discover this beautiful little town? Now that I have fallen in love, I try to reunite with Madison at least quarterly, and hope to acquire a place to crash there more permanently in the future.
However, I digress. After a hair-raising ride up river, we took a long walk to work up an appetite. Lunch became a moral imperative. I had noted the pink building with tables outside on a previous trip so Bad Apple Mac's was on the radar. Their namesake burger had caught my attention: burger with bacon, Mac and Cheese, fried apples and carmelized onions. Hell yes! They had me at bacon, though a good Mac and Cheese gets my heart racing too. The burger did not disappoint. If you have a lighter appetite, split it with someone for it is humongous.
Good as the burger was, though, the chips knocked my socks off. I did not confirm this with our server but I believe they make them in house. They tasted so fresh and crisp and well seasoned that I ate every one with no regard whatsoever about cholesterol and fat. Hey, it was my birthday after all, so diet be damned.
And damned it was. Dessert was also required. The blueberry crumb cake was amazing. The creamy sauce that accompanied it - well, I have no shame, honestly; I licked the plate afterwards.
Knowing there was no chance in hell that I would finish the burger, my husband ordered an egg salad sandwich. The egg salad was nicely seasoned and not overly full of mayo. I hate when these sandwich salads are basically small chunks of protein floating in mayo, which was a real downer when I lived in the South. His sandwich left him plenty of room to polish off the other half of my burger.
My burger was $12, but they did offer a special that day that included a brew for just a little bit more coin. I never drink when riding even as a passenger, but another time I would definitely partake.
