The team behind Steve’s Hot Dogs launched its latest restaurant, Steve’s Meltdown, on Monday, March 11, as the 19th stall in the food hall at City Foundry STL at 3730 Foundry Way in Midtown St. Louis.
Steve’s Meltdown began in January 2023 as a ghost kitchen at Steve’s Hot Dogs on South Grand offering a variety of “elevated” grilled cheese sandwiches. The concept was developed by HuSTL Hospitality Group team members Steve Ewing, Danni and Marcus "Ike" Eickenhorst, culinary director Joseph Zeable and chief growth officer Jeremy Robinson. After doing great business, mainly through third-party delivery apps, they began looking for a spot where the ghost kitchen could have its own space.
“We’ve been wanting to get in [City Foundry] for a long time,” Ewing said. “With all the development in the area, I think the timing is right.”
