US Open Fans Queue 30 Minutes for $38 Salt Hank's French Dip

Summary
$38 French dip sandwiches from Salt Hank's are drawing big crowds at the US Open, with fans reportedly willing to wait about 30 minutes for one.
Salt Hank's West Village pop-up is selling the sandwich with prime rib, provolone, caramelized onions, horseradish aioli, fries and au jus, helping turn it into a viral tournament food item.
The demand stands out because the sandwich costs well above typical stadium fare, yet fans appear to be overlooking the price and the messiness of eating a French dip in a packed tennis venue.
The lines underscore how premium, social-media-driven food has become part of the US Open experience, even when the item is expensive and awkward to eat courtside.
