The Windmill

**The Windmill** (stylized as **WindMill**) is a fast food restaurant located in Raleighopolis, founded and owned by the chefs of this restaurant. It's the only fast food restaurant where Mitchell, his friends, and many students of Lester Dent High frequently hang out. It is the only fast food place seen on the franchise.

Famous & known for its regular hot-dogs, foot-long hot-dogs, chicken sandwiches, cheeseburgers, cheese french fries, and other fast food. This fast food restaurant shared a very similar ideas from it's sibling franchises like Spongebob's Krusty Krab & Danny Phantom's Nasty Burger.

The original location, a windmill-shaped building in Long Branch, New Jersey, was built and opened in 1963. Leo and Ed Levine bought the restaurant in 1976, and opened a second location in Belmar, New Jersey, three years later. Since then, WindMill Gourmet Fast Foods has grown to include seven locations—three franchises and four owned by the family. George James in *The New York Times* writes, "Aside from Sabrett, the family-owned hot dog manufacturer based in New Jersey that makes the Windmill hot dog, the Levines, probably constitute the largest wiener dynasty in the state." The Windmill's hotdog style is a Jersey Shore flat-grilled dog.

The Windmill's Long Branch location is known for its fierce competition with nearby Max's Famous Hotdogs. The Windmill claims it is a favorite of Bruce Springsteen.

Besides its staple hot dogs, the chain serves many other sandwiches, including chicken and fish, and a California-style double burger known as the Big Ed, though it can be made to suit the customer's wishes. The burgers and the chain's ribeye steak sandwich are popular with customers. Side dishes include cheese French fries almost as well known as the hot dogs, and chili cheese fries and fried mushrooms. In addition to standard fountain soda selections and bottled drinks, several locations feature milk shakes. The condiment offerings, set up at the purchase counter, include diced onions, a variety of relishes, sauerkraut, and pickles. The mustard is of the spicy brown or deli type, not yellow.

The reason the restaurant is so popular is because of the windmill hotdog, a foot-long hotdog with a very top secret recipe similar to Krusty Krabby & Phantom's Nasty Burger with some combined Jersey Shore & North Carolinian personality, which has almost always been the signature The Windmill dish. Other the Windmill grub includes typical fast food products such as french fries, milkshakes and sodas, as well as other fast foods such as fried Mushrooms nuggets and Onion rings. All of these items make up the Galley Grub, the food menu of the The Windmill. The Windmill's employees include fry cookers and cashiers. The Windmill has main fast-food business competitors.
