The gelatin pies are well below average. You haven’t really tried Phillipes until you’ve had the lamb with swiss double dipped and slathered in the spiciest mustard this side of wasabi.

But now since Cole's is turning all chi-chi on us, who knows whether it will retain the title. The Militant always believed Cole’s had the better sandwich, while Philippe’s the better atmosphere.

I was at Philippe's yesterday from about 1pm to 2:30. It's one of my favorite places, even though I go the "no dip" route. Ha! I was at Philippe’s yesterday from about 1pm to 2:30.

But you have to be there by 10:30 so its no good if you want to sleep in and wake up slowly. If you have British visitors to entertain, they'll love the place!

Excited about being at an LA landmark and about to eat a French dipped sandwich I was not so impressed with the sandwich. I mean the place was awesome with it's historical charm and I loved how crowded it was with people ordering and orders being yelled out. It was the dipped sandwich I did'nt care for. I guess some peeps like soggy (dipped) sandwiches, I like mine dry. Later on I find out they also have dry sandwiches. I am looking forward now to trying out it's neighborhood cousin Cole's.
