You Can Now Get LA’s Most Famous French Dip Delivered Right to Your Door
Eater ^ | May 19, 2016 | Farley Elliott

Posted on 05/20/2016 7:06:49 PM PDT by nickcarraway

The restaurant world in Los Angeles is rapidly changing, and it seems that no matter how old the eatery there’s always something new to try. Case in point: Philippe The Original’s plan, as of today, to start offering delivery.

The plan, says popular delivery app Caviar, is to bring Philippe’s in as a full-time partner, which means customers will be able to enjoy their own French dip sandwiches without leaving the office. The new delivery option kicks off today , with Philippe’s also turning out soups. sides, salads, and desserts to help complement the iconic sandwich.

It’s just the latest restaurant coup for Caviar, which already courts such popular local restaurants as Belcampo, BLD, Canter’s, Chego, Ledlow, and Pok Pok. It also represents yet another update to Los Angeles’ longstanding dining traditions. There’s always been something to standing in line at Philippe The Original, likely before a Dodgers game, but with the rise of the city’s restaurant culture (and lots of money from locals to spend) it seems folks are willing to pay a premium for the ability to have that nostalgia delivered to them instead.

You know the world is changing when, in the same day, Philippe’s starts doing delivery and Tito’s Tacos begins accepting credit cards.

Yeah, and based on my experience with LA traffic your order will be 4 hours late and stone cold.

Over 50 years ago Philippe’s french dips were delicious, I have reservations about them turning into fast food delivery now.

If you get tired of French dips at Philippe’s, head for ABC Seafood across the street for some great Southern Chinese cuisine—or walk a couple blocks to the Won Kok, another great Cantonese eatery. Both offer reasonable prices.

Interesting how that traffic was quite bearable when the “Legions of Illegal Aliens” decided to stay at home a few years back to make some point about how it was so necessary they were.

There used to be a lot of Frenchmen and Italians living in what is now Chinatown. Philippe’s is one of the last remnants of the French community. On the other side of Chinatown across the Pasadena Freeway, one can get huge meatball and Italian sausage sandwiches at the Eastside Market, a family-owned eatery that is one of the last remnants of the Italian community

I agree. Can’t believe they are doing this.
