AOL: The Los Angeles Restaurant That Serves Some Of The Best Pastrami Sandwiches In The US
AOL’s Alba Caraceni wrote a great piece titled “The Los Angeles Restaurant That Serves Some Of The Best Pastrami Sandwiches In The US” – that would be Langer’s Deli!
… there’s a more than 75-year-old Los Angeles restaurant that gives famous NYC delis a run for their money — and when it comes to pastrami, many believe Langer’s Delicatassen-Restaurant may even top them.
Pastrami is the most popular sandwich meat at the eatery in L.A.’s Westlake neighborhood, and it stars in its long most-ordered sandwich, the acclaimed No. 19. Layering hand-shaved hot pastrami with Swiss cheese, coleslaw, and Russian dressing on Langer’s signature hot double-baked rye bread, the sandwich got a shoutout in 2001 when the restaurant won the James Beard Foundation America’s Classics Awards, given for “food that reflects the character and cultural traditions of its community.” David Shaw wrote for the foundation that Langer’s serves “what many deli aficionados on both coasts consider the best pastrami sandwich in America” (per Langer’s official website).
