Hand-cut pastrami stacked on twice-baked seeded rye with coleslaw, Russian dressing and Swiss cheese. The LA-Jewish deli's defining sandwich, taken at the counter or curbside in MacArthur Park.
Al and Jean Langer opened Langer's on Alvarado at Westlake as a 12-seat lunch counter in June 1947, and the family has not closed since. Al created the #19, which layers hot pastrami with coleslaw, Russian dressing and Swiss on Langer's house double-baked rye; the bread method, crisping each loaf twice, is the structural choice that lets the sandwich hold the moisture without sogging. Son Norm took over the kitchen in the early 1990s and full ownership in 2007. Nora Ephron called it the finest hot pastrami sandwich in the world in a 2002 New Yorker piece; Jonathan Gold likewise rated it the best pastrami sandwich in America.
