Ya I went to Philippe's a long time ago for a french dip and came away really disappointed. And yes, go to Langer's for pastrami--but let's say for some mystical cosmos unknown to god reason I was there and didn't want pastrami (blasphemy). Is the (beef) french dip *worth* getting?

WHOA, THIS IS A PASTRAMI FRENCH DIP!?

i don't know, it looks better than Philippes but I want the cole slaw / russian / cheese

not cheap either, and NO AU JUS ON THE SIDE WTF. potato salad best part of meal.

lamb french dip @ philippes significantly better than beef, but Langers trumps both by a mile.

French Dip is another thing that The Refuge does really well. the au jus is fucking decadent.

:hmm:

the Langers menu that JS80 linked shows Pastrami French dip...which looks like the only thing I can eat there.

everything else comes with fucking mayonaise. who would treat their pastrami in such an unholy manner?

uh

pastrami / double baked rye / cole slaw / russian dressing / swiss

only mayo is in the cole slaw, and it's not overwhelming. The #19 > sum of it's parts

I went to Katz, had it OG style (rye / pastrami / mustard) and it's no comparison.
 
This is going to sound lame, but I'm in Vegas and I even miss the simple mediocre LA style pastrami joints like The Hat. I found one here but it was rather bland and overpriced.

earl of sandwich @ planet hollywood, $5 sandwiches all day. LOVED the club I had there, and open 24/7.

If I had 5MM to spare I'd open a chain of earl of sandwich franchises in SoCal


decent NY pizza joint (7/10 by NY standards) @ cosmopolitan, next to Jose Andres' restaurant.
 
I tend to avoid the hotels mostly, especially the east side of the strip, but I'll keep that in mind. I was pretty disappointed by "Secret Pizza" at Cosmo, though. I'll stick to my local NY style, Broadway Pizza.

Are you saying you live in LV now?

where's broadway pizza? i was very limited when i went to LV last because I didn't have a car.

secret pizza = joint walking down that long hallway right?

been to lotus of siam?
 
Ya I live in Vegas, 8 years now. Broadway Pizza is on Rancho/Charleston. It's good but I certainly wouldn't make a trip for it, there were plenty of joints in LA that were just as good. Ya that's secret pizza. Lotus of Siam is AMAZING. I don't go there often enough. If you want something else next level next time you're in town, hit up Raku for Japanese off the strip on Spring Mountain.

Russian dressing = mayonnaise + ketchup, aka special sauce, aka vomit.

it belongs nowhere near premium meat, good sir.

:colbert:

mustard is always greater than mayonnaise.

always.

russian dressing is not mayonnaise.

A reuben made with pastrami? I'd never heard of that. Is that common? I'm gluten and casein sensitive, so I only get sandwiches every several blue moons these days. All this Reuben talk is making me drool, though...a good prime rib sandwich with a stout sounds good too. What kind of beer do you pair with a Reuben? I don't think I've had for like ten years.

How the heck did that happen.
 
It's fun to watch people argue about stuff that's going to end up being in the toilet, especially when they have nothing to do with their creation or origin.
