  • “Cow Tongue” – airs Tuesday, January 18, 2011, at 730PM: this is a follow-up to a program Huell did at Russak’s Meats in which he was appalled by a vat of curing tongue; Huell was recommended by his viewers to try tongue, so he came to Langer’s to sample it – tune in to see his reaction!
  • “Pastrami” – airs Thursday, January 27, 2011, at 730PM: this program is all about hot pastrami – how it is made, and how Langer’s prepares it. You won’t want to miss this one.

The Roaming Belly: Pregnant With Pastrami at Langer’s

Blogger Bagnatic of The Roaming Belly recently visited Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant and raved about a number of our items, including the #19 Hot Pastrami Sandwich, Cream Soda and matzo ball soup:

#19 = unctuous slabs of pastrami with a chilled mound of slaw with russian style dressing and a slice of swiss cheese between uber crusty slices of rye bread. the marriage between these ingredients was just magical i tell ya, magical.

USC’s Two Block Around The Park Project: Langer’s Delicatessen Stands Apart

Robbie Heeger, a key member of the University of Southern California’s student journalism team responsible for the “Two Block Around the Park” project (documenting life in the MacArthur Park area, home to Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant), recently put together a comprehensive look at Langer’s Deli as part of his participation in the project (part of USC journalism professor Hernandez’s class). Robbie did a great job, and we’re proud to have been featured by him. He put together multimedia and interviews, and wrote a complete review of his experience at Langer‘s. Here’s just an excerpt:

Langer’s classical Judaic deli menu is as long as the arguments that can be overheard on a given Saturday afternoon. From potato pancakes and kishka – an Eastern European concoction of breading and chopped sausage – to matzo ball soup and of course, hot pastrami, Langer’s commands each dish on its menu like it’s grandmother’s cooking.

The pinnacle of this restaurant’s menu however, was not its fabled pastrami, but rather its arguably most simple dish: the French fries.

Simply put, they are perfect.

Jagged cut, golden brown, slightly crunchy on the outside and entirely too hot on the inside, the Langer’s Delicatessen French fries embody all that a fried string of potato should aspire to be.

Privy Los Angeles: Langer’s Deli

Lifestyle review site Privy Los Angeles has published a great review of Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant:

A true LA institution, Langer’s Deli is what makes the city stand out. Famous for its pastrami, this venue is hugely popular for its sandwiches. Its bread is the best you’ll find in a deli in Los Angeles and arguably better than the delis in New York including renowned Katz’s Deli. A hard crust with a soft center, it’s unbeatable. The luncheon meats are great. Seasoned to perfection the pastrami sandwich, on rye, with coleslaw, swiss cheese, and Russian dressing makes for an absolute perfect combination of flavors.

Foursquare Los Angeles: Langer’s Deli

We’re very excited about a new Venue Review that appeared on Foursquare Los Angeles for Langer’s Deli:

For over sixty years, Langer’s has been serving up mouth-watering delicatessen favorites to Angelenos and visitors.

Langer’s pastrami is in a league of its own. It is cut thick so you can actually taste the juicy morsels of marinated brisket that have just the right amount of fat lacing the peppery edges. The bread is also spectacular. The edges are oh so ever crisp while the body remains soft, yet hearty enough to support the generous servings of sandwich filling. The rye is subtle as to not overpower the sandwich. The creamy, cold cole slaw adds a crunch with a hint of sweetness, and the swiss cheese lightly chimes in with its nuttiness and slight bitterness. Finally, the Russian Style Dressing: it’s dressing done right.
