710 ESPN Radio: Langer’s at Lunch

As you may know, Langer’s Delicastessen-Restaurant is sponsor of 710 ESPN AM Radio’s “LA Sports Live” and the High Noon Showdown – a caller prize giveaway where hosts Andrew Siciliano and Mychal Thompson square off on the topics of the day, as suggested by producer Drew Belzer.

In case you haven’t had a chance to catch the program itself, here is a segment from November 6, 2009, when Norm Langer visited the studio with a care package of #19 hot pastrami sandwiches for the hosts and staff of 710 ESPN.

LA Weekly: Pastrami Battle, Langer’s Vs. Langer’s

Here’s something you just don’t see every day – someone pitting two Langer’s sandwiches against one another! But somehow it manages to work, as you can see in Noah Galuten’s piece for the Squid Ink food blog at LAWeekly.com:

The real question, though, as has been passionately argued multiple times on Chowhound, is which particular Langer’s pastrami sandwich is the best in the world. So is it the #19, their most popular sandwich, which features the classic pastrami on rye, but with Swiss cheese, Russian dressing and coleslaw? Or is it, quite simply, a small mound of pastrami, slid between two slices of rye bread and nothing more? With more years than I care to admit since my last visit to Langer’s, it is time to put these sandwiches to the test.

So what did Noah decide? You’ll have to read the complete post to find out!
