The Bad Apple advertises that it proudly serves burgers made with beef from Pat La Frieda, a wholesale butcher who’s been operating out of Manhattan for nearly a century. That’s supposed to be a mark of excellence for the burgers, but we still have a habit of loading them up with gourmet toppings to make the flavor pop. The skin-on fries, crisped to a deep brown and liberally salted, are standout; ditto for the solid beer list.
