Serving up Hype 🥩🔥

Their $27.50 sandwich the hottest thing on the Australian Open schedule.

Let’s get one thing straight: I’m not paying $27 for a sandwich. Not at a tennis match, not in Melbourne’s heat, not anywhere. But apparently, Entrecôte’s “Steak Frites Mitraillette” is turning heads at the Australian Open faster than a new Coco Gauff outfit.

Tennis news isn’t just about Australian Open results or which underdog is throwing off betting odds anymore. Now it’s about steak, fries, and garlic herb sauce stuffed into a baguette. Sounds fancy, right? Well, this Prahran-based French brasserie-style eatery has somehow made their $27.50 sandwich the hottest thing on the Australian Open schedule.

The ingredients? Rangers Valley Black Market beef, fries, and a “top-secret” herb butter sauce (why is it a secret?). That’s all crammed into a baguette that’s about six inches long. For $27, I hope the secret sauce is worth it.

 

Would You Wait?

Look, if you’re the type to queue for 45 minutes in 91-degree heat, water bottle in one hand, tennis program fanning your face in the other, good for you. You’re braver than me. I’d rather starve or find something (literally anything) else to eat.

And it’s about more than just eating for some people; it’s about flexing too. Did you even go to the Australian Open if you didn’t post an Instagram of yourself holding the Entrecôte sandwich, bro? I actually cannot get over the amount of financial regret I would have spent $27 on a sandwich.

 

Is This the New Honey Deuce?

Remember the US Open’s Honey Deuce cocktail? It made $10 million in sales. This sandwich might be Melbourne’s answer. Whether it hits those numbers is anyone’s guess, but Entrecôte’s pop-up has made a serious splash in tennis rumors.

So, if you’re at the Open and you’ve got $27 burning a hole in your wallet, go ahead. Join the line. Just don’t expect me to be behind you. I’ll be over here, placing bets on who’ll win and enjoying the shade.
