The French Dip: Philippe The Original, Los Angeles

Philippe the Original, the birthplace of the French dip sandwich, is a time warp into the L.A. of yore. The sprawling restaurant has a retro ambiance and a menu that includes side dishes such as pickled eggs and  beets. But focus on the French dip sandwiches—available in your choice of beef, pork, ham, lamb and turkey. They're dipped in "jus" from the freshly roasted meats.The beef "double-dipped" is highly recommended, with plenty of mustard. The restaurant just celebrated its 100th anniversary.
