The man behind the nation's best pastrami sandwich passed away on Sunday, the L.A. Times reports:
Al Langer, founder of the 60-year-old Langer's Delicatessen-Restaurant, whose succulent hand-cut pastrami on hot rye bread, topped with Gulden's mustard, won praise as the finest hot pastrami sandwich in America — or the world, depending on the critic — died Sunday in Agoura from complications of old age. He was 94.
Two weeks ago Langer's Delicatessen marked its 60th anniversary with a celebration that included accolades for the deli's food and its survival.
Perhaps we'll have to toast (pun intended) Mr. Langer this week with a pastrami with cole slaw on rye.
