Our thanks to The Nosher (part of MyJewishLearning.com) for mentioning Langer’s Deli in its article on Jewish deli design:

“Langer’s in Los Angeles is also modest. It opened in 1947 with 12 seats and expanded, to 35 and then to 65 seats in its first 20 years. According to “Langer’s: A Classic American Culinary Story,” “the very look and feel you see today at Langer’s is the exact 1968 remodel as created by Al and Jean Langer — right down to the Naugahyde upholstery, turned-spindle brocade on the booths and period lighting fixtures.”

We are once again humbled and honored to have been named to Eater’s “38 Essential Restaurants in Los Angeles”:

“Yes, the No. 19 pastrami sandwich is an amazing sandwich, but the pure pastrami on house-baked rye is simplicity at its best. There’s a reason why people make pilgrimages to try this place’s pastrami and even corned beef: There is no better version anywhere in town. Pro tip: Try the No. 54, a blend of both the pastrami and corned beef in one sandwich. And don’t skip the rest of the classic Jewish deli menu — it’s all very well executed in one of the best daytime dining rooms in town. —Matthew Kang”

 

Our sincere thanks to the Eater LA team for naming Langer’s Delicatessen as a member of their new list, “38 Standout Dining Destinations in Los Angeles.”

Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant is proud to have been included in a recent article at Michelin Guide entitled, “Where to order your Passover meal.” Michelin included our latkes (potato pancakes):

“Pico Blvd. is lined with Jewish delis, but stray from the pack and make a beeline to MacArthur Park and Langer’s, which has been ladling matzoh ball soup since 1947. You can put together a Passover spread from the menu here, though note that this is not kosher for Passover. Feast on deli platters—tuna salad, chicken salad, pastrami, corned beef—potato pancakes, and soups like chicken or cabbage.”

Food writer Ron Stern wrote about his experience with a Langer’s “double #19” delivery from Goldbelly:

“I shared the Double #19 Box with my friends and family who were heretofore uninitiated into the Langer’s experience. They were, as I would have anticipated, instant believers, saying they have never tasted pastrami like that before! Of course not but I could have predicted as much. It would be the same for anyone who hasn’t really had a gastronomic pastrami indulgence of this magnitude. This is probably the reason Langer’s has served more than 8 million pounds of pastrami since its founding.”

Our thanks to the staff at Eater.com for including us in their newest list, “16 of the Most Indulgent Loaded Fries in Los Angeles”:

“Using Langer’s legendary pastrami, these crinkle cut fries are a bit of magic, and perfect for sharing (as is everything else at this timeless Jewish deli in LA). Best of all, there’s easy curbside pickup.”

Thanks to Los Angeles Magazine for naming Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant as Best Jewish Deli for 2020:

“Let’s face it: most delis have the exact same menu, but, since 1947, Langer’s Delicatessen has distinguished itself with the best pastrami in town, along with a perfectly anachronistic ambience. Steamed to perfection and hand-sliced, the thick strips of peppery, smoky beef almost melt on the tongue. When they’re enjoyed in the famous No. 19 sandwich (from $19.95) with coleslaw, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing, it’s easy to understand why this is a deli worthy of two James Beard Awards.”
