Alert the media, @Chowseeker1999
I’m here. (Langers)
Plain ole Pastrami and mustard on its way.
Pickles, potato salad, russian dressing on the side.
PICS OR IT DIDN’T HAPPEN!!!
Hope you enjoy it!
I’m driving so I cannot do anything other than tell you that it was fucking amazing. I ate the whole thing in probably seven minutes flat.
Maybe I’ll get pizza wagon for dessert LOL
No room for the famous #19?
The number 19 would’ve been a respectable third choice for me. The second choice, though, would’ve been the pastrami Rueben. Believe me if I hadn’t been driving away while eating, I would’ve turned around and gotten some other stuff too.
Yeah, you all are right on.
I thought I wouldn’t like the soft bread as described. But it does indeed go great with that perfect pastrami.
Tender, juicy, just fatty enough. The spice blend is not too peppery, just smokey enough, and you can taste the clove and I think I detected allspice.
Yeah. This is perfection, except maybe could use another 1/2 pound of meat!!
Best part is my car has pickle juice all over the passenger seat so I can enjoy the smell of deli whenever I drive.
The #19 is a crime against gastronomy. Take the spectacular combination of perfect pastrami and perfect bread (it’s not exactly soft since it’s dense enough to maintain its structural integrity) and slop on some mediocre industrial cheese and cole slaw? For god’s sake, why? You might as well add lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise.
The reigning champ defends the belt with a KO! Glad you enjoyed your first experience at Langers, makes me want to grab some myself.
The “Sky high” sandwich is our jewish version of BBQ. LOL!
Like the Carolinas, slaw is a fitting topping.
Grew up in the Jewish hood, this was common amongst my folk. Not my favorite, but it ain’t bad either.
Though the cheese should be real Swiss.
I like the 19 and straight up with mustard. I usually go with a friend and split it, so I can get both.
When I go with a friend, one of orders the corned beef. The Corned Beef at Langers is not as good to the Pastrami… but it’s still SUPER good and it’s harder to find even decent corned beef in L.A.
–Dommy!
And a Chocolate Egg Cream to drink or Doc Browns.
I always wanted to try the Corned Beef at Langers.
I only know of Langers and that place at Original Farmers Market
My wife and i will split a Pastrami and a Tuna Melt.
Magees is very good. But the bread they use is kinda MEH. Langers just kills it with the amazing corned beef AND that bread!! Honestly, with how much a sandwich at MaGees costs… if you get the hankering for some of their corned beef… a tastier option is their Corned Beef Hot Dog. DELISH!
As long as we are listing our Langer’s favs:
The #19: I agree with @robert. I think this a “face only a mother could love” sandwich. If it doesn’t hit a nostalgia nerve, plain pastrami on rye is wayyyy better.
Corned Beef & Tongue on Kaiser Roll: I got this for the first time the other day. (I think @Chowseeker1999 highlighted this combo in one of their posts.) Oh boy. That sandwich was incredible.
We got 1 Pastrami on Rye and one of these and split. The Corned Beef & Tongue disappeared faster than the Pastrami on Rye.
Edit: Found a pic!
Ditto. Tuna melt, pastrami and well done fries.
Oooohh tongue!
Or how about, you have a life? Just because you make it to L.A. doesn’t mean Langer’s is convenient or your priority or the people you’re with.
It might be good if they used first-rate cole slaw and cheese rather than cheap Sysco-level stuff like you could get at any crap deli.
