Fans Queue for $38 French Dip Sandwich at the US Open

During the US Open, a new food craze has emerged as fans flock to Salt Hank's, a West Village restaurant, to purchase its $38 French dip sandwich. The sandwich features a generous portion of prime rib, melted provolone, sweet caramelized onions, and a tangy horseradish aioli, served alongside shoestring fries and a sidecar of au jus for dunking. Lines often stretch for thirty minutes, indicating strong demand despite the steep price.

Diners describe the sandwich as consistently satisfying, ranking it above other popular sandwich types. While the cost and the messiness of eating a dip-heavy sandwich in a stadium setting are noted, the overall popularity suggests the novelty outweighs the inconvenience.
