"Philippe’s, another shining example of LA food history, is right down the street from Cielito Lindo. This place claims to be the birthplace of the French dip sandwich. Who knows if that’s true, but we're here to say their version is the best we’ve tried in the city. The Beef Double Dip gets two dunks in salty jus. Layer some spicy mustard on yours at the table." - nikko duren, brant cox, sylvio martins
