Langer’s Deli to Serve Free Pastrami Sandwiches for its 65th Anniversary

Langer’s Deli in Los Angeles has long been considered to be the home of the best pastrami in the world and its No. 19 sandwich has been its staple since the Deli’s inception in 1947. Now, all those who join the deli for its 65th anniversary Friday, June 15 and Saturday, June 16, will have a chance to enjoy a No. 19 for free.

Langer’s is even extending its usual business hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and will be open 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. June 15, and 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on June 16.

The famous No. 19 consists of a hot pastrami, coleslaw, Russian dressing and Swiss cheese in between two pieces of warm rye bread.

The rules seem simple enough. One per person, per day, and one must be dining-in. The offer is not valid on to-go orders and there will be no curb service available on those two days.

Of course, the rest of the Langer’s menu items will be available for purchase at regular price.

Joining the festivities will be the folks from 710 ESPN as they will be broadcasting the event live.

Langer’s Deli has won the James Beard Food Award, the highest honor for food in the U.S. and has received nearly 1,000 five-star ratings on Yelp.
