The Classic LA Deli Power Rankings

"Legend has it that Philippe The Original invented the French dip sandwich. While we can’t prove that, we'll still claim this century-old deli as one of the few LA tourist traps that's always worth it. On weekends or during Dodger games, you’ll have to stand in a fast-moving line for one of their hot sandwiches loaded with pastrami, roast beef, or turkey on a crusty French roll. We always order ours with a slice of Swiss cheese, which helps the sandwich stick together even after a long soak up the rich jus (ordering your sandwich "wet" is non-negotiable)." - brant cox, garrett snyder
