Our thanks to Takeout which included Langer’s Deli in their Here Are The Best Jewish Delis You Can Find In The US article:

There was always going to be more than a few legends on this list. Jewish deli food just breeds the iconic, the signature, the famous — kind of like a certain city in Southern California. Los Angeles has its fair share of world-class Jewish eateries (shout out to Canter’s, a tough cut from this list), and one in particular does a pastrami sandwich that rivals those found in New York City or anywhere else. Opposite MacArthur Park, you’ll find a pastrami mecca standing since 1947: Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant.

Famous the world over for its brined, smoked, and cured cuts, it’s become a pilgrimage spot for TikTokers. While its pastrami gets a lot of the attention (and rightfully so), you can swap that meat out for a secret menu alternative: tasty, razor-thin beef tongue slices that appeal to pretty much every palate. Angelenos are lucky to have a star like this in town.
