Thank you, Radio Korea

Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant would like to extend our heartfelt thanks and sincere gratitude to our good friends at Radio Korea AM 1540 in Los Angeles, who hosted a fantastic golf tournament at Old Ranch Country Club in Seal Beach, on April 5, 2009.

Norm Langer participated, playing a full 18 holes for the first time in nearly two years after two major knee-replacement surgeries. He shot pretty well (considering the 2-year layoff, of course!) and had a great partner in Michael Kim of Puente Hills Hyundai.

Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant sponsored the 9th hole at Old Ranch proudly, as well.

For those who do not know, Langer’s Deli is a regular advertiser on 1540 KMPC, Radio Korea. Our spots run in the Korean language (to match the rest of the programming) where they serve to let our Korean neighbors know about our delicious pastrami and other great deli items.

DailyTrojan.com: Learning A Lot From Cooking TV Shows

The Daily Trojan’s website – written and produced by students at the University of Southern California – recently published a new “Gingersnaps” entry by columnist Mimi Honeycutt, focusing on her recent intake of television cooking shows. In it, she finds a great Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant mention from her review of “The Best Thing I Ever Ate”:

Many of the restaurants are in New York City, but don’t discount Los Angeles for eating options. The legendary Number 19 from Langer’s Deli and the Brazilian Chicken Pot Pie from Wood Spoon have both made an appearance.

Impress all your friends when you suggest a seemingly random restaurant for a Saturday lunch. Most of the dishes do not actually come from fancy restaurants, so even broke college kids can enjoy fine dining.

Zagat Buzz: Where to Eat Around Dodger Stadium

Famed guide publishers Zagat (as part of their Zagat Buzz Los Angeles online community) posted a great article recently entitled “Where to Eat Around Dodger Stadium.” The article includes Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant as well as a whole host of fantastic and iconic LA eateries. This one is a definite must-click – if this list doesn’t make you hungry, nothing will!

But as much as LA loves its Dodger Dogs, the stadium is surrounded by many worthwhile dining destinations. Indeed, there’s a tradition of grabbing a bite before a game – back when he was manager, Tommy Lasorda could often be found eating lasagna and ravioli at the now defunct Little Joe’s Italian Restaurant in Chinatown.

MSN.com: 15 Essential Sandwiches

Microsoft megaportal MSN.com has published a great new story on “15 Essential Sandwiches,” and Langer’s hot pastrami is fortunate enough to be included in the recount:

Pastrami reigns coastal. In Los Angeles, Langer’s is king, where spicy, peppery beef owes its mythic tenderness to a long stint in the steamer. The result ends up on a number of sandwiches, but No. 19 — pastrami topped with Swiss, coleslaw and Russian dressing on double-baked rye — is the gold standard for Jewish delicacies in L.A.

DosHermanos.co.uk: Taking the #19 to MacArthur Park

British food blog DosHermanos.co.uk paid a recent visit to Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant and captured a number of great images, as well as great food memories:

For as long as I have been coming to L.A, in recent times, my good chum, John Haskell has been telling me “one day, I’ll take you to Langer’s for a pastrami sandwich”. Today after over eighteen months of promises we both manged to sculpt time from our schedules to finally share that lunch at one of L.A’s most famous diners.

Noms, Not Bombs: Being Sick Could Only Mean: Langer’s

We ran across this blog posting which answers the age-old question about what to eat when one is sick with a great suggestion: Langer’s Deli! Noms not Bombs’ authoress, Mahina L’Ani recently visited the store when she wasn’t feeling too well, and ordered her favorite comfort food:

I don’t know what I used to eat when I was sick before I knew about Jewish food. Now, thanks to J, it’s my go-to at the first sign of a sore throat or the sniffles. The food is so warm, hearty and carb-a-licious that, even if I still feel like crap when I’m done with my meal, at least I’m a little happier. And so, today, it was Langer’s to the rescue!

I ordered my standard “I’m sick and in need of comfort meal”: Matzoh ball soup, potato knishes and kasha varnishkes.
