Norm Langer called into 710 ESPN’s “Weekend Warrior” program on Saturday, January 14, 2012, to not only discuss his previous knee surgeries with co-host Dr. Robbie Klapper (who, not coincidentally, performed both surgeries), but to also discuss National Pastrami Day.

Valentino Herrera, editor of food and travel blog TrippyFood.com, recently paid a visit to Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant with friends, and thoroughly enjoyed himself:
My sandwich arrived guarded by two dill halves on either side (apparently Langer’s eschewed the obligatory bowl completely). The sandwich was packed full of moist, steamy and fragrant pastrami, but it wasn’t as insurmountable as the human head-sized mounds of meat that completely obliterate the helpless slice of bread beneath it as served in New York delis. I brought the sandwich to my mouth, taking time to smell the spice emanating from the meat in a wafty steam and calculated the angle of approach for the first bite to include the maximum amount of meat with the minimum amount of cole slaw – shredded cabbage, your time would come my friend, but this moment was devoted to the pastrami. My mouth was filled with the most incredible flavor; I let the bite linger on my tongue, awash in saliva and ecstasy. With slight pressure (virtually no chewing required), the pastrami simply melted away as I savored each and every bite. The bread was spongy yet sturdy enough to hold the wet sandwich together; the contrast of the crusty rind and the soft innards lovingly enveloped the meat and coleslaw in a perfect storm of tastes and textures.
Trust us and go read the entire review – it’s extremely well written, delightful in its love of food, and a great encapsulation of the Langer’s dining experience. Thank you, Valentino, for such a wonderful review – we hope you’ll say hi next time you visit us at Langer’s!

Local food blog East Side Food Bites’ Valentina made a trip to Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant recently and emerged with the provocatively beautiful title of “Langer’s is Your LA Birthright.” We concur! She sampled a variety of our dishes, including our delicious cabbage soup and grilled nippy cheese!
Cabbage and tomatoes make up most of this sweet and sour soup, with small chunks of beef adding a savory anchor. Their Matzo Ball Soup is also perfectly respectable, but a little too filling to follow up with a sandwich. Plus, if you get the cabbage soup, you can still fit some golden brown crinkle fries (I don’t care if they’re frozen) into your meal.

Well, here’s one we never saw coming! Food Republic has ranked the upcoming NBA season and teams by using Langer’s delicious sandwich selections – 30 teams, 30 Langer’s sandwiches!
Man, it’s fun to rank things. Since this is the inaugural Food Republic NBA Power Rankings, we decided to go ahead and apply some food logic to our system. That’s why we’ve taken all 30 NBA teams and compared them to a sandwich at Langer’s, the James Beard Award winning deli in Los Angeles. Langer’s serves what might be the best pastrami in the world and the NBA features the best basketball in the world, so it seemed like a perfect match.
The Lakers? Our #28 Fresser’s Special!

We received a wonderful piece of correspondence recently from Friend of Langer’s Michael G. Kramer; if this isn’t deli-inspired poetry, nothing is:
I wrote this in response to a forwarded email bemoaning the fate of the deli in general from New York:
As of this moment in history there is but one Deli. Langer’s of Los Angeles has become a sacred destination of deli and pastrami enthusiasts the world over since it is now regarded as the home of the finest Pastrami Sandwich in the history of all interplanetary species.
New Yorkers cry now to realise that the crown of the perfect deli experience has drifted west to the despicable capitol of the trivial life………Los Angeles……But….. surrounding this temple of immeasurable perfection – LANGERS – shall arise a new community, worthy of its existence. The Hub of the Universe, The Deli of G-d’s choice is here, spreading hope for the future of the people who face the Wide Pacific Shore.

Absolutely wonderful.
