Philippe The Original
No. 20The one to order
A lamb French dip, double-dipped, with the house hot mustard and a dill pickle
One of the two places that claim the French dip, open since 1908 with sawdust on the floor and famously cheap coffee.
Make it at home
French dip with au jus
2 hr (20 min hands-on) · 4 sandwiches. Thin roast beef (or lamb) on a crusty roll, the cut side dipped in hot pan juices, with sharp mustard. Philippe's is the original; beef on weck in Buffalo is its cousin with a salted caraway roll and horseradish.
