Happy 100th Birthday Philippes!

If you live in LA, or if you visit, you have to try Philippes - home of the French Dip. The restaurant is 100 years old this Monday, and if you haven't been you don't know what you're missing. They really did invent the French Dip, and their menu is largely unchanged in the last 100 years. There's sawdust on the floor, and hot mustard on the table. It's down in Chinatown - great place to grab lunch if you're on jury duty downtown. You can still get coffee for 9 cents, and enjoy a pickled egg and some pie with your French Dip. Trust me - you'll be glad you did.
