Our thanks go out to Fast Food Club for their including our legendary double-baked rye bread at the top of their list for “11 California Sandwich Counters Where The Bread Does Half The Work“:

Since 1947, Langer’s Delicatessen has been slinging what many food lovers call the greatest pastrami sandwich in America. The double-baked rye bread here is the stuff of legend — crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside.

It holds layers of hand-cut pastrami without ever going soggy or falling apart.

Located near MacArthur Park, this old-school deli has earned a loyal following that stretches across generations. Order the No. 19 and you will understand the hype immediately.

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.

Authentic, Award-Winning Jewish Comfort Food Available for Pickup in Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES, CA, December 1, 2025 — Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant, the legendary Los Angeles institution known for its iconic #19 pastrami sandwich and more than 78 years of culinary excellence, announced today the launch of its 2025 Family-Style Hanukkah Dinner, available for in-store pickup. With Hanukkah running this year from December 14 through December 22, Langer’s is offering families an opportunity to celebrate the holiday with authentic Jewish comfort food prepared by one of America’s most celebrated delis.

As more Americans embrace prepared holiday meals, Hanukkah remains one of the most underserved holiday dining markets. While Los Angeles offers dozens of Thanksgiving and Christmas take-home options, few restaurants offer high-quality, traditional Hanukkah meals. Langer’s—long recognized as one of the nation’s premier Jewish delis—is stepping in to fill that gap with a festive, family-friendly menu featuring its signature brisket and classic sides.

This year’s Family-Style Hanukkah Dinner includes:

What’s Included:
• Beef Brisket – Our renowned slow-cooked brisket, tender and rich with creamy gravy.
• Potato Latkes – Golden, crispy, and perfectly seasoned, served with sour cream and applesauce.
• Vegetable Medley – A colorful mix of seasonal, flavor-packed vegetables.
• Bread Selection – Langer’s famous rye bread and egg bread.

“We hear from customers year-round—especially former Angelenos—that they miss the taste of Langer’s during the holidays,” said Norm Langer, second-generation owner of Langer’s Deli. “Hanukkah is about tradition, family, and great food. We’re proud to help families celebrate with dishes that bring comfort, joy, and a sense of home.”
