Home of the French dip

| 1 Comment

The Downtown News out today has a feature on Philippe's, which will mark its 95th year next week by selling French dips sandwiches at the original price of a dime for four hours on Nov. 3. The story revisits the legend that the landmark invented the French dip, and notes that the current location on Alameda is not original -- Philippe's moved there in 1951 to make way for the Hollywood Freeway.
