MAY 21, 2012 — LOS ANGELES — Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant, one of America’s most famous food establishments and widely acknowledged purveyor of “the world’s best pastrami,” is set to celebrate its 65th anniversary in a big way — by offering its patrons a free #19 Hot Pastrami Sandwich at any time over its two-day event, held June 15-16, 2012.
“It’s our way of saying ‘thank you most kindly’ to our friends, fans, and patrons who have been there for us over our 65-year history,” says owner Norm Langer.
“The #19 is our most popular sandwich, and what better way to celebrate our anniversary than by giving back to those who have helped us get to this point — our valued customers.”
The Langer’s 65th Anniversary Celebration is brought to you by Langer’s Deli, the City of Los Angeles, and Council District 1, represented by Council Member Ed Reyes.Continue reading

The Jewish Daily Forward recently published a terrific article on Jewish deli food entitled “10 Jewish Sammies To Die For” and Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant’s famous pastrami-on-rye made the cut!
Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant in Los Angeles offers a pastrami that is steamed until it reaches a perfect state of tenderness and is then hand-cut — a rarity at delis today — ensuring scrumptious cut-against-the-grain slices.
Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky’s news blog has an interesting new story about the potential impact on businesses along the new Expo Line, slated to open in April-May of this year. The story includes a comparison to the impact the Red Line opening in 1994 had on Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant:
They dubbed it the Pastrami Express. When the Red Line subway came to Langer’s MacArthur Park neighborhood in 1994, offering a convenient way for downtown workers to get their pastrami-on-rye fix, it touched off a transit-driven boom for the legendary delicatessen, family-owned since 1947.
After an inaugural weekend of free rides on the new subway, deli owner Norm Langer showed up Monday and was met with a miraculous sight: customers, by the hundreds.
“I had 500 people on a waiting list,” he recalled. It was a welcome turnaround for a business suffering at the time from demographic shifts and high crime in the neighborhood. “My light at the end of the tunnel was the Red Line,” he said. “If it didn’t open, we would have closed.”
Today, business is better than ever in a revitalized neighborhood, Langer said, continuing to marvel at the Red Line effect. “It’s phenomenal. And it gets better over the years because there are more lines that tie into it. We’ve had a great resurgence of our customer base because of it.”
A great new piece on Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant has been published at Tasting Table, a short-form daily email / website publication that focuses on (what else?) delicious food. Their Los Angeles edition (now available by clicking here) just published a terrific piece on visiting Langer’s and enjoying a #19 sandwich, with a special mention of our server Joan:
There are meat slicers in the kitchen, but the brined, smoked, pepper-crusted briskets are never submitted to the whirl of their blades. Instead, each thick slice is cut with a knife, a laborious task that preserves the meat’s soft texture and halo of spiced crust.
Is adding more than mustard to such excellent pastrami sacrilegious? Maybe. But we’re not going to argue with Joan.
Lifestyle blog PacificRimShots.com’s co-author Steve recently visited Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant for the first time, and had our delicious #19 – with a twist:
A picture is worth a thousand words, the Langer’s #19 with a chocolate malt… sandwich paradise! That’s pastrami on rye, swiss cheese, cole slaw and Russian dressing. This stuff just melts in your mouth and for my money, it’s even better than Katz’s in NYC. And the chocolate malt? It’s the real thing, unchanged since 1947 when Langer’s opened.
It’s a great mini-review of his experience at our deli. Click here to read the complete article. And thank you, Steve, for visiting us!
