Le Continental, “Drinking and Dining with the Jab” is a food blog with reviews of restaurant visits from around the country. They recently visited Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant and enjoyed themselves thoroughly:

Here it is! Easily my favorite sandwich in the world. Warm pastrami, trimmed and sliced thick to order. Piled on house-baked rye bread that is sliced for each sandwich from still warm loaves using a meat slicer – crispy crust but super-soft center.

Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant is proud to have been named once again to Jonathan Gold’s “99 Essential Restaurants” list for 2011 in the Los Angeles Weekly.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning Gold is a longtime fan of Langer’s hot pastrami, so perfectly captured here:

By this point, it is a matter of conventional wisdom: Langer’s serves the best pastrami sandwich in America. No matter how many doubting New Yorkers you drag here, no matter how many Chowhound throwdowns between Langer’s and Katz’s there may be, the results are always the same: The thick, peppery, smoky slices of hand-sliced meat; the thickly cut seeded corn rye; and the dab of yellow mustard as important to the whole as a sushi master’s wasabi, make victory inevitable.
