LAPastrami.com: Langer’s Deli Review

We’ve discovered a great website for fans of hot pastrami called LAPastrami.com – and their review of Langer’s Deli is amazing:

The Pastrami club’s first jaunt was to Langer’s in November of 2011. We have regretted it ever since because basically nothing else in Los Angeles can compare to their overwhelming pastramaganza. Their “best of the best” Pastrami sandwich was “the greatest pastrami ever, in the world” with “amazing melt-in-your-mouth double baked rye. Crispy and soft at the same time!”

FamilyVacationHub.com: 10 Los Angeles Classic Restaurants

FamilyVacationHub.com has assembled a great list of ten LA-area classic restaurants that are family-friendly locations, and they lead off with Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant:

The reason Langer’s has made it all these years, is its delicious deli food, which is not easy to come by in Los Angeles. In my honest opinion, I think their Pastrami sandwich is the best I have ever had and I grew up on Deli food. The Pastrami is very tender and their twice baked rye bread is crunchy on the crust and soft as can be on the bread. If you are not a purist (pastrami and deli mustard), they have a fantastic Pastrami sandwich (#19) with Cole Slaw, Swiss cheese and Russian style dressing. Add in a side of Potato Pancakes and a Cream Soda and you are set. Langer’s menu offers up a large variety of traditional Delicatessen fare, so everyone in the family should find something to their liking.

UnorthodoxFoodie.com: Langer’s Luscious #19

Kimberly Nichols, who runs the terrific food blog UnorthodoxFoodie.com, penned this review of our famous #19 hot pastrami sandwich back in December of 2013, but we just discovered it on Twitter (where you can follow us here). It’s fantastic writing! Click through to check it all out, but here’s a sample:

If ever there were a place to belly up to the bar, it was here, where old-fashioned and generously padded, tufted brown faux-leather seats swiveled with a direct view into the glass enclosed counters revealing cooks in white smocks and paper hats carving up smoking hot roasts of pastrami and corned beef, smoke curling up and away into the ethers where cans of tuna, sardines and matzo flour sat aligned on wooden shelves. There are no glass displays of overstuffed baked goods or large rows of bread loaves or cutesy, framed sayings on the walls. It’s a simple joint where people come for that plate of bread and meat accentuated with none other than a simple pickle slice, enough to fuel them up on their way from one place to another. An institution serving lunch to the common man one rapid forkful at a time.

Didn’t we say it was amazing writing?! Click here to read the entire piece. Thank you, Kimberly! Please say hello next time you are in! – The Langers

TheDailyMeal.com: America’s 10 Best Jewish Delis

Popular food blog TheDailyMeal.com has published a new piece entitled “America’s 10 Best Jewish Delis” – and Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant made the list! From their description of Langer’s:

The deli is known best for its #19 sandwich made with hot pastrami, cole slaw, a slice of Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing on hot rye bread. What makes the rye bread so special is the process of double-baking. The bread is received from the bakery, and then re-baked at 350 degrees for 30 minutes to give it a crispy crust. It also has its own take on matzoh ball soup which includes chicken, noodles, matzoh balls and vegetables served in a warm pot.
