…their No.19 is considered one of the best pastrami sandwiches, if not the best, in the nation. Even Nora Ephron thought so and she was a New Yorker.

June 24, 2016: Birthday and Anniversary

Today, June 24th, is a special day for us at Langer’s Delicatessen. Today is the birthday of the late Jean Langer (pictured left), wife to Al (pictured right) and mother to Norm (foreground). In addition, today is the anniversary of Al’s death back in 2007. We miss them both incredibly, but we carry on their legacy with everything we do at Langer’s Delicatessen, in a lasting tribute to their honesty, generosity and love for the City of Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Times: The Challenge Presented by a Langer’s Classic

Here’s a terrific article in the Los Angeles Times by Patrick Comiskey:

Let’s face it: pairing win e with food can be a fairly fussy business. The more time you spend thinking about it, the more absurd it all seems…

I was thinking about this recently as I bit into a Langer’s No. 19 pastrami sandwich, following it with a sip of old-vine Grenache from Australia’s Barossa Valley. It was one of the great food and wine pairings I’ve enjoyed in the last year.

LA Times: Moderation if Fine, But Only in Moderation

Columnist Chris Erskine of the Los Angeles Times wrote a terrific piece recently that included a mention of the world-famous #19 hot pastrami sandwich from Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant. In the story, entitled “Moderation if Fine, But Only in Moderation,” he notes:

Same goes for the No. 19 sandwich at Langer’s deli, not only the world’s best sandwich but the most glorious architectural achievement since St. Louis erected that amazing arch.

Let me introduce you to the No. 19: Blessed by God, it is the drippiest, sweatiest, most succulent pastrami in deli history, slathered with slaw and served on rye that is as soft as an angel’s tummy.

So lately, what have I been doing? Taking half of the No. 19 home for later. That’s right, I eat only half of the world’s greatest sandwich.

Guess that’s growing older. Or wiser. Or less gluttonous. Guess that’s all good.

Thank you for the mention, Chris, and we’re thrilled you’re still enjoying the #19, even a half a a time. Be sure to say hello next time you are in! – The Langers
