Columnist Chris Erskine of the Los Angeles Times wrote a terrific piece recently that included a mention of the world-famous #19 hot pastrami sandwich from Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant. In the story, entitled “Moderation if Fine, But Only in Moderation,” he notes:
Same goes for the No. 19 sandwich at Langer’s deli, not only the world’s best sandwich but the most glorious architectural achievement since St. Louis erected that amazing arch.
Let me introduce you to the No. 19: Blessed by God, it is the drippiest, sweatiest, most succulent pastrami in deli history, slathered with slaw and served on rye that is as soft as an angel’s tummy.
So lately, what have I been doing? Taking half of the No. 19 home for later. That’s right, I eat only half of the world’s greatest sandwich.
Guess that’s growing older. Or wiser. Or less gluttonous. Guess that’s all good.
Thank you for the mention, Chris, and we’re thrilled you’re still enjoying the #19, even a half a a time. Be sure to say hello next time you are in! – The Langers
Rebecca Pardess of LA Weekly just penned a terrific new article entitled “The 10 Best ‘Big Salads’ in LA,” and Langer’s Tri-Salad is honored to be a part of this impressive list. Says Rebecca:
This salad is so big, it has salads on salads on salads — literally. Everyone knows delis serve hefty helpings of the items on their bible-length menus, and the salads are no exception. Here we have a perfect specimen of a deli-big salad. While a salad in itself, it also includes chicken, egg and tuna salads on a bed of tomatoes, cucumbers and carrots for crunch. Rounded out with a mound of olives, sweet pickles and peaches with cottage cheese, this is a salad for the person who has to have a big salad but can’t quite decide on one direction.
Go read the complete article and share with your friends. It will make you want to order a salad pronto! Thanks, Rebecca! – The Langers
Here’s a wonderful review of Langer’s pastrami and deli dining experience by Jim Hollrah in the Telluride Daily Planet. Worth a 5 minute read!
LA’s pastrami champion, Langer’s Deli, where I have twice dined. Here the pastrami sandwich reaches its pinnacle. Hefty, yes, but not a daunting beast bigger than your head. The crusty bread is assertive without smothering the meat, and the meat itself achieves a tender chewiness and flavor that all pastrami strives for.

From Jewish Journal and Rob Eshman comes this terrific interview with Jonathan Gold regarding his new documentary, “City of Gold.” In it he states that while his childhood was not food-oriented, there was one exception: deli.
Jonathan’s favorite, when asked by Rob? “Langer’s,” he said, to wild audience applause. “The pastrami sandwich — there should be a marble statue of it in the Civic Center mall.”
Check out the complete article, and thank you, Jonathan! – The Langers
We are thrilled and proud to have been named to LA Weekly’s “99 Essential Restaurants” list. It’s a tremendous honor, one for which we are extremely grateful. Thanks to all who think so much of our delicatessen.
Life is fickle. Things change. There’s not much you can count on. What can you count on? Langer’s Deli. Langer’s will never change, or at least we hope with the fiercest of hopes that it will never change. Because as citizens of L.A. we need to be able to stand in that line, we need to be seated in one of those brown vinyl booths, we need to order that pastrami sandwich and get it on that bread served by these people in this room. Since 1947, Langer’s has been delivering what many believe to be the best pastrami sandwich on Earth. Whether you go for plain pastrami on rye or the famous No. 19 with Swiss cheese, coleslaw and Russian dressing is between you and your god, but either way, Langer’s gives us all something solid to hold on to in this cruel, unpredictable world. —Besha Rodell
