Philippe’s French Dip

There's nothing more frustrating than having visitors who want to be 'shown the sites' around town. What sites? This is LA, not Paris. And the most 'LA' restaurants, generally speaking, will put you out in the amount of a mortgage payment in your visitor's hometown. 

Ignore their touristy whines of 'but I want to see stars!' and take them to an unassuming LA gem, Philippe the Original. For $5, they can experience an LA landmark - established in 1908 - and the most delicious French dipped sandwich from the dish's actual place of origin. In one fell swoop you'll have provided your out-of-towner with culture, culinary history, and a meal worth five paparazzi-less stars.
