Food and travel review site CultureHoney.com has a great new piece up by Georgia Sanders recounting her recent visit to Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant.
Lunch @ Langer’s Deli this past weekend was a definite two thumbs up, waaaay up! Home of the original #19 Pastrami Sandwich, using hand-cut, hot pastrami, cole slaw, Russian dressing and swiss cheese on double-baked rye bread, it was ALL that and more (see the first photo below – honest, even as good as it looks here – the taste was like no other pastrami I’ve ever had)!

Somehow we missed this fantastic article about Los Angeles pastrami by Katherine Spiers of KCET on Serious Eats, but it’s worth a quick mention right now – click through and check it out, very nice words for Wexler’s Deli (which was still newish at the time), plus high praise for yours truly – which we greatly appreciate.
At Langer’s, the double-baked rye bread is just as famous as the pastrami, another leg up on the universally lifeless and spongy rye you’ll get at every deli in New York (even Katz’s).
But Langer’s will probably never lose its spot as the number-one purveyor of pastrami sandwiches in the city. Deli expert David Sax calls Langer’s “the pinnacle of pastrami sandwiches in the US,” due especially to the bread. “Langer’s bread is warm, thickly cut, double baked rye, which has a sturdier crust, better aroma, and stands up to the sandwich a hell of a lot better than the pre-sliced thin rye Katz’s uses, which often tears under the strain of all that meat and mustard.” Critic Jonathan Gold calls Langer’s pastrami “better than anything I’ve ever had in New York.”

Langer’s #19 with hot pastrami , coleslaw and their famous double-baked bread is all the rage and it’s considered one of the best pastrami sandwiches in the country so there will be a line but it will be worth it.

Our good friends at Eater.com have published yet another amazing collection of Los Angeles-area sandwich recommendations, and Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant is proud to be a part of this august list. Written by Matthew Kang and Farley Elliot, our entry reads:
An easy choice for the most popular pastrami sandwich at this historic deli in Westlake, just west of Downtown. This near-perfect Jewish deli sandwich features house-baked rye bread, russian dressing, cheese, coleslaw and freshly sliced slivers of the most achingly perfect, smoked pastrami on earth. There is simply no equal when it comes to this pastrami.

What an incredible collection of Southland sandwiches, ranging from Italian to Vietnamese and yes, even classic Jewish deli pastrami. We are thrilled and honored to be a part of Thrillist’s “LA Sandwich Bucket List.” How many have you tried?
Like The Godmother at Bay Cities, you need to have Langer’s pastrami sandwich with Swiss cheese, Russian dressing, and cole slaw before you’re really even allowed to call yourself an Angeleno. It’s not just the best pastrami sandwich in LA, it’s the best in the country. (Pro tip: it’s even better without all the stuff on it. Trust us.)
