Jarred Reviews: Langer’s Delicatessen

Food and travel blogger Jarred from Montreal recently paid his first visit to Langer’s Delicatessen. Having grown up with smoked meat sandwiches in Montreal, Jarred is familiar with the pastrami family, but nothing could have prepared him for his first Langer’s experience:

I’ll always remember that time I sunk my teeth into my first #19 at Langer’s.

Everyone apparently knows the best pastrami or corned beef sandwich there is. I’ve been engrossed in back and forth’s of personal bias over which deli makes the best sandwich several times with people. When I went to LA, I heard that Langer’s is to L.A. what Schwartz’s is to Montreal…

Then finally it came…Langer’s most popular sandwich…The tender, succulent and perfectly seasoned juicy pieces of thickly cut meat piled high, not as much as Carnegie but there was still a great amount. The cole slaw is an original addition, and crucial in making this legendary sandwich, as well as that dressing, that perfect dressing that really just completes everything. I’m not even sure if I noticed the cheese, as there was so much taste from everything else that was going on. When you have pastrami that’s as juicy as steak, it’s no wonder.

It’s a terrific review for which we are grateful, and one you should check out both for the prose as well as the imagery. Click here to read the complete review, and to browse Jarred’s well-done site.

Thank you, Jarred! – The Langers
