Henry Laporte is famous on TikTok, but you might know him better as Salt Hank. His videos of his often over-the-top culinary creations have been viewed millions of times, and he’s even written a cookbook. Next up is Salt Hank’s, a sandwich shop in the West Village of Manhattan that serves one thing: Hank’s French Dip sandwich.
Hank claims the French Dip as his favorite sandwich and also that — after testing, researching and planning the recipe for years — his version might be the best.

Sandwich looks amazing.
But beef stock from a can? I don't get it..
Proud of you brother. Keep pushing, you are backed.
anyone know what blue yankees hat salt hank is wearing??
Congrats playah!
Stay humble, stay hungry!
$28
Watching him on TikTok in the beginning I could tell the man just LOVED food no filter just a care and excitement that few still have and I couldn’t think of a better person to do this. I wish nothing but the best. And we know it’s the beef dripping in the aujus
Mario stared the resturant as you guys don't play his games
This recipe is gold.
Was there this past Saturday! Good sammy!
🔥
honestly i assumed danny was henry's dad at first! their chemistry in the kitchen is great.
Sexy Salt Hank is more like it
45$ Canadian 🤣
Should put the whole prime rib down in the aujus and let it cook for 12 hours….
Bread dipped in watery substance… i didn't have particularly high standards going into 2025 but damn, this is rough…
LOL canned beef broth
Hope they def do well but no thanks for $40
there's nothing you can say negative about this guy hes a tiktok creator doing a business right
Cool story! I spent most of my teenage years and 20s ordering chicken fried steaks and French dip sandwiches at every restaurant I went to. I still love them both, his French dip looks amazing!
all that care and then you put canned beef stock in there? 🙁
This dude is not using canned beef stock….Seriously?
just from the bread i know its fire
This sandwich looks amazing I intend to make a straight line to Salt Hanks once I'm back in the city.
But the question I can't help but ask is…. How does someone who started on Tik Too afford to do something like this not only in NYC, but at that location and in a very nicely done space with fully stocked kitchen with what looks to be a very competent experienced staff?
With the beef prices now no surprise that they charge 28 bucks for a sandwich. But still, thats quite a price. And you dont even have a drink to go with it.
When he said "wanna see the marbling, I was expecting amazing marbling, that marbling barely qualifies for prime it looks like.
Really looks like a choice.
There’s nothing I love more than the combination or beef and onions, I know I’d love this!
