One Clear Winner in the French Dip Battle
This match-up was pretty important to food nerds. Two restaurants have been locked in battle for 100 years, both arguing that they're the home of French dip sandwiches. As it turns out, Angelenos believe Philippe's. Not Cole's.
This was something of a landslide victory, surprisingly enough. There are other battles in L.A.'s Iconic Dish that are much more hotly contested. But Philippe's next opponent will probably make for a more heated head to head: they're going up against the carnitas tacos at Taco Zone next. Come back tomorrow and vote!
