No room for the famous #19?

The number 19 wouldâve been a respectable third choice for me. The second choice, though, wouldâve been the pastrami Rueben. Believe me if I hadnât been driving away while eating, I wouldâve turned around and gotten some other stuff too. 
Yeah, you all are right on.
I thought I wouldnât like the soft bread as described. But it does indeed go great with that perfect pastrami.
Tender, juicy, just fatty enough. The spice blend is not too peppery, just smokey enough, and you can taste the clove and I think I detected allspice.
Yeah. This is perfection, except maybe could use another 1/2 pound of meat!! 
Best part is my car has pickle juice all over the passenger seat so I can enjoy the smell of deli whenever I drive.

The #19 is a crime against gastronomy. Take the spectacular combination of perfect pastrami and perfect bread (itâs not exactly soft since itâs dense enough to maintain its structural integrity) and slop on some mediocre industrial cheese and cole slaw? For godâs sake, why? You might as well add lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise.

The reigning champ defends the belt with a KO! Glad you enjoyed your first experience at Langers, makes me want to grab some myself.

The âSky highâ sandwich is our jewish version of BBQ. LOL!
Like the Carolinas, slaw is a fitting topping.
Grew up in the Jewish hood, this was common amongst my folk. Not my favorite, but it ainât bad either.
Though the cheese should be real Swiss.

I like the 19 and straight up with mustard. I usually go with a friend and split it, so I can get both.

When I go with a friend, one of orders the corned beef. The Corned Beef at Langers is not as good to the Pastrami⌠but itâs still SUPER good and itâs harder to find even decent corned beef in L.A.
âDommy!

Magees is very good. But the bread they use is kinda MEH. Langers just kills it with the amazing corned beef AND that bread!! Honestly, with how much a sandwich at MaGees costs⌠if you get the hankering for some of their corned beef⌠a tastier option is their Corned Beef Hot Dog. DELISH!

As long as we are listing our Langerâs favs:
-
The #19: I agree with @robert. I think this a âface only a mother could loveâ sandwich. If it doesnât hit a nostalgia nerve, plain pastrami on rye is wayyyy better.
-
Corned Beef & Tongue on Kaiser Roll: I got this for the first time the other day. (I think @Chowseeker1999 highlighted this combo in one of their posts.) Oh boy. That sandwich was incredible.
We got 1 Pastrami on Rye and one of these and split. The Corned Beef & Tongue disappeared faster than the Pastrami on Rye.
Edit: Found a pic!

Or how about, you have a life? Just because you make it to L.A. doesnât mean Langerâs is convenient or your priority or the people youâre with.

It might be good if they used first-rate cole slaw and cheese rather than cheap Sysco-level stuff like you could get at any crap deli.
I didnât have any slaw⌠So I canât judge. Bad slaw is ridiculous as itâs so easy to make.
Come to think of it I think I had stage fright when they answered the phone. LOL. I didnât order slaw, or fries, or potato salad.
Yeah, man. Just enjoy it.

P.S. Your sandwich looks great @Starchtrade.
