MidtownLunch.com: Obligatory Langer’s Lunch: My Sandwich World Has Been Turned Upside Down

02 July 2010

Every so often one of those really great, first-time-at-Langer's stories comes along that just makes us smile. And so today, here we have one, from MidtownLunch.com, by Zach Brooks, entitled "My Sandwich World Has Been Turned Upside Down." Here's just the intro to set the tone:

I’m embarrassed to admit it, but before last week I had never been to Langer’s. As a Miami jew (lower case, because I’m a bad jew who loves pork way too much), whose parents were born in New York, who spent his his childhood eating at Wolfie’s (and the lesser known, kind of terrible, Pumpernickel’s), and the past 4 1/2 years living in NYC, you’d think I would have gone sooner. Like maybe the first week I moved here. Like, maybe right from the airport. Despite the pedigree, I’m no deli expert. But I am a fat man, and as such have nothing but love for pastrami and corned beef and tongue, on good rye bread, with a bit of mustard. How could I not?

Of course, you must read the entire story. Click here now to read the complete, funny and very informative (with an emphasis on chopped liver!) story by Zach

Zach, make sure you introduce yourself next time you visit us!

LAWeekly.com: Langer's Deli: Pastrami, Yes, But What Else?

29 June 2010

LA Weekly's food critic Noah Galuten (writing in the always-interesting Squid Ink food blog) has a great new article up entitled "Langer's Deli: Pastrami, Yes, But What Else?" Good question! And so Noah and his friends paid a visit to Langer's Delicatessen-Restaurant, and came up with a variety of great items to try that were not-pastrami in nature:

With rye bread as good as it is at Langer's, isn't it safe to assume that they can fashion some other good sandwiches as well? We've often wondered ourselves, but could never quite muster the courage to veer from such assured greatness. In light of this, we gathered a group of five other hungry men, and took over the corner of Langer's Deli to find out what some of the rest of the menu had in store for us. Though to be fair, we couldn't prevent ourselves from ordering a few pastrami sandwiches too.

Fiesta Bo: Tom Hanks Treats His Crew to Langer's Deli

24 June 2010

Bo Stevenson, best known among his peers as "Fiesta Bo" due to his choice of a lime-green Ford Fiesta as transportation, is the personal assistant to Academy Award-winning actor and director (and everyone's favorite) Tom Hanks. Tom is directing his first feature since "That Thing You Do" entitled "Larry Crowne" and it's Hanksian tradition to treat his crew to Langer's Deli - so Bo documented the entire thing on his Flip Video as part of his campaign to capture his experience working on the film.

Langer's wishes the best to the crew of "Larry Crowne" and sends a special thank you to Bo and Tom for their valued patronage.

And go see "Toy Story 3" by Disney/Pixar now, starring Tom Hanks!
