Omnivorous: Langer’s Deli

Food blog Omnivorous by Spencer H. Gray recently did a piece on visit to Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant, and it’s terrific:

Langer’s pastrami is moist, flavorful, and ultra-tender. Great flavor from the corning brine add notes of coriander and peppercorn. In a sandwich the pastrami is rather thickly cut but so yielding you never get any gristly bits or dry areas; it is uniformly delicious. To best appreciate the pastrami’s flavor I’d recommend it simple, just on their wonderful rye bread with a slather of deli mustard. However, the best sandwich I’ve eaten there is the Number 19, a delightful concoction of their homemade pastrami, swiss cheese, coleslaw, and Russian dressing. The steamed rye bread is moist and delicious with a crisp crust, the coleslaw adds sweetness and a vegetable crunch, and the generous Russian dressing adds a nice tang that counterbalances the fatty richness of that fabulous pastrami. It is the bomb!

There’s even coverage of our side salad! It’s worth a read, and the pictures are terrific (taken with an iPhone, no less).

Thank you, Spencer! Click here to read the complete story at Omnivorous.

TasterTotsLA.com: Langer’s Deli

Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant recently received a nice review from the “kid friendly – adult fare” restaurant review site TasterTotsLA.com. The site focuses on coverage of restaurants that are great for parents with children, yet retain adult-oriented cuisine – sounds like Langer’s!

While not its signature dish, Langer’s happens to be for us L.A.’s reigning champ of crinkle-cut fries…

Why mess around? Most of us are there for the #19. Or however way you like your world famous pastrami. For women who plan to give birth at Good Samaritan Hospital nearby, I politely suggest you have one of these ready. This beloved sandwich has proved restorative and essential.

It’s a great and unique review and well worth your click to read the complete story located here.

Chic and Cultured: Best Thing I Ever Ate – Langer’s Pastrami Sandwich

Felicia Lambreton of Chic and Cultured recently paid a visit to Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant and provided a terrific account of her encounter with our classic #19 sandwich:

This amazing sandwich stands entirely by itself and will leave you utterly satisfied. It can get a bit messy trying to bite into it with all the layers, but it is worth the many napkins we went through. So, best pastrami sandwich I have ever had? Oh yes indeed. If you like pastrami or just sandwiches in general, go and try this one and dare to argue with the fact that it is the best!
