Thanks to Larry Harnisch of the LA Times and The Daily Mirror blog for hosting lunch this afternoon at the always-tasty Philippe’s restaurant. We had a great time talking Los Angeles history, including our various theories on the true origins of the French Dip sandwich.
Also there and very entertaining was Ed Fuentes, Arts & Culture Editor at Blog Downtown, who writes view from a loft as well.
I’ll look forward to seeing you all again next time.
And thanks to Alex of Ravens in Hollywood for the lift.
I love Philippe’s. I am 66 years old, have been going to Philippe’s as far back as I can remember. I went with my dad as a child, I remember he said that when he was a kid the sandwiches were only a dime. I live in San Diego, I still stop in Philippe’s for lunch when I am in LA. I have been known to drive up just for a sandwich. It is that good.
