The Original Philippe

Opened since 1908. This Deli is the home of the original French dipped sandwich. Cole’s also claims the same thing! Only difference is Philippe’s actually dips the roll prior. This process was created by accident when the roll was dropped into a pan of hot dripping and a police officer said he would take it. That officer returned the next day with others asking for another dipped sandwich. This was back in 1918, ten years after they opened so I suppose they are the originators of the “Dipped “ sandwich. It is delicious all the same!
