I had heard about The Madison Blind through college/young professional friends about a year ago as a place for drinks with a view but became motivated to try their updated menu after learning the new chef is from New York. I asked what the staff recommended and was super excited when they selected the cheeseburger and fries, primarily because I am a true sucker for any sauce with the labels "secret" and "special" attached.
The portions were generous; the ingredients were fresh and I loved the presentation of it all (the ketchup came in a little bottle, the fries were in a mini basket and the entire meal was served on a plank).
This will go down as one of the best burgers I have had in Madison and I'm excited to get it again, maybe next time with a side of the lobster bisque poutine. The gym can wait.
