The $100 Caviar Chicken Nugget Ushers In a New Era at the US Open
This year’s tennis fans are shelling out for a luxury fast food, with mixed results.

Or you could go to the US Open, where the restaurant’s CQDQ stand in the outdoor Food Village has chicken wings in abundance and a mercifully short line. On the third day of first-round men’s and women’s singles, visitors took photos of the restaurant’s bright red to-go boxes, vessels for a package of six chicken nuggets and three sauces for $26. The $20 chicken sandwiches had sold out by midday, though more were on their way.
