I was fortunate to spend a day with Mindy Rogers, guest engagement and tour manager of Visit French Lick West Baden, Indiana (known collectively as “The Valley”). This easy one-hour drive from the Louisville area will take you through the rolling countryside and farmlands of Southern Indiana. Mindy planned a wonderful day for us. I highly recommend starting with Visit French Lick for more information on The Valley.
Mindy and I stopped for lunch at a favorite spot of locals: the German Cafe. Charming and cozy, the cafe boasts an authentic German menu, where I tried (for the first time) spaetzle and sauerkraut as sides to my German bratwuerste! I was advised to save room for the delicious homemade desserts and ended up taking a generous slice of red velvet cake home with me.
