Coco Gauff's Sweet and Savory Cravings Amidst US Open Quest

Coco Gauff is not only focused on her pursuit of a US Open title but also on satisfying a peculiar craving for a specific dish from the Cheesecake Factory. The young tennis star recently shared her culinary desires in a TikTok video, revealing her obsession with Cajun salmon accompanied by mashed potatoes and corn.

During her downtime in the hotel, Gauff humorously confused the popular chain with Chick-fil-A, exclaiming, "I want the Chick-fil-A salmon mashed potatoes and corn with the little sauce meal so bad," before correcting herself. The athlete expressed her intention to head straight to the Cheesecake Factory once the tournament concludes.

Press Conference Food Talk

This amusing food fixation became a topic of discussion in her post-match press conference following her third-round victory over Cristina Bucșa. Gauff reminisced about her fondness for the Cheesecake Factory’s Louisiana Chicken Pasta, which she enjoyed daily during her time in China. In her quest for the salmon, she even attempted to order it via Uber Eats the night before, only to discover that it wasn’t available on the platform she checked.

Culinary Support from Cheesecake Factory

The Cheesecake Factory didn’t miss the opportunity to engage with Gauff, responding to the US Open's Instagram post by highlighting the proximity of a Queens location to the tennis center. They cheekily noted that her desired Cajun salmon was just a DoorDash away, further enticing her culinary cravings.

Interestingly, Gauff also shared her unusual take on the restaurant’s namesake dessert, admitting that she’s not a fan of their cheesecake. "I actually don’t go for the cheesecake… I prefer more crust," she explained, critiquing the size and texture of their offerings. With her tournament ambitions on the line, there’s no doubt that the Cheesecake Factory should expedite her favorite meal.
