Palm Beach Illustrated: Sandwich King Jeff Mauro’s Favorite Sandwich

Palm Beach Illustrated features a new interview with Jeff Mauro, host of Food Network’s “Sandwich King.” In it, he proclaims his favorite sandwich in the entire world: a Langer’s Deli hot pastrami on rye with mustard.

What was your best bite?

My favorite sandwich in the world is pastrami on rye from Langer’s Deli in Los Angeles, California. It was the best bread and the best house-cured, hand-cut meat I ever had. There was a little smear of mustard. You take a bite of it and you can’t stop. It was so rich and perfect. It was just the definition of simplicity at its best.

Thank you so much, Jeff – please come visit us soon! – The Langers

LA Weekly: Langer’s Hot Pastrami on Rye #9 on 100 Favorite Dishes List for 2012

The LA Weekly has named the classic hot pastrami on rye sandwich served by Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant as #9 on its 100 Favorite Dishes list for 2012.

We’re thrilled to receive this honor, and even more happy with the terrific write-up by Garrett Snyder:

Some patrons might push first-timers to order the #19, a combination of Russian dressing, Swiss cheese and coleslaw. This is a mistake, though still quite delicious. Instead opt for impeccable minimalism and order the plain pastrami sandwich, made with layers of impossibly tender beef speckled with fat and fragrant with pepper and curing spices. Slices as thick as dominoes sit between two slices of fresh rye bread — a smear of mustard is all you need.
