Steven Levine's father bought the original WIndMill Drive In in Long Branch, NJ (built in 1963) in 1974. Since then the iconic windmill shaped restaurant with rooftop dining has become a Jersey Shore landmark and traditional family stop and late night destination known for its quality hot dogs, cheeseburgers, cheese fries and more. Today Steven and his sister Rena Levy run the seven current WindMill locations in Long Branch (2), Red Bank, Asbury Park,
Freehold, Brick, and Belmar. On the eve of Memorial day Evan, Mike, and Ming Chen pop into the newest Long Branch WindMill location to chat with Steve about his entrepreneurial and philanthropic family, talk with employees and customers, and ofcourse share stories about everyone's love of WindMill food. We sure worked up an appetite after all that talking so we got a lesson in the secrets WindMill hot dog cooking (low & slow!), manned the hot dog mothership, and made ourselves some lunch! Follow the WindMill @windmillhotdogs and visit www.facebook.com/WindMillHotDogs for more info. Special thanks to Aaron Levine @luxurygroupins for hooking this up!
