WINDMILL (Long Branch) Huge, garlicky, plump, and grilled to just the right snap when you bite, these $3.69 babies are addictive. If you like to load ’em up, ask for a slathering of the homemade chili (30 cents extra).
There are eight Windmill stores (which sell about 14,000 dogs a week), but the original, with the windmill on the roof, lets you recapture those endless summers when you lounged by the counter before, or after, a big night out. As much as you want a third dog, stick with two, but green-light the crunchy, lightly battered, $2.89 onion rings.
