These sandwiches never seemed right to me. I’d give ten of them for one average Philly cheesesteak.
Philippe’s was always very good.
I’ve had the one at Hillstone several times and it’s fantastic.
Ya, want some “with juice” with that?
But you left out Arby’s.....
Try toasting the inside of the bun first by buttering each half and grilling it til it’s golden brown, then adding the meat and serve with au jus. Makes it even yummier.
Been to Phillipes numerous times...maybe I didn’t soak it in the au jus much....it was good...but not that good...
Tam O’Shanter in LA makes a great(IMHO) prime rib sandwich dipped or not....
New Orleans roast beef po boys although usually when I am there I focus on seafood. But they have no shortage of hole in the wall places that make a great sloppy good roast beef po boy.
Grew up in the Chicago burbs and started eating Chicago French Dip 60 years ago.
Best sandwich EVER!
Actually, made some several months ago and have a bit in my freezer.
Lunch tomorrow!
Prime Rib French Dip from the Cafe Milano at the Peppermill in Reno does it for us...
My son and I ate at “Philippe the Original” in April before going to a Dodgers game. We didn’t get a cup of au jus. Instead we had the preparer do a “double dip” where she dipped the top bread into au jus and dipped the bottom bread into au jus. We both wished we had a cup of au jus for additional dipping. It was OK, but nothing particularly special. If you go on a Dodgers home game day, you better wear some Dodgers gear!
Back in the late 1960s, the Riviera had the best French Dip Sandwiches...
With mash potatoes and gravy, it cost about one dollar...
Liked staying there for that and Riviera’s penny, nickel, & dime craps...
My mouth is watering so bad after reading that article!
Well the only choice here in Phoenix is Houston’s. $26 for the sandwich. No doubt it’s good. Have to try it sometime but it’s not real close. Arby’s is about 10 min away, 7 bucks.
I’m sure no comparison. I wonder how making it with a baguette and take out boars head would be.
Corse then I have to figure out how to do the dipping sauce. Dang.
Make it with Better than boullion?
I hate soggy bread.
Has to use prime rib for the meat.
