COLE'S RESTAURANT -- DOWNTOWN LA -- PART 1



ORIGINATORS OF THE FRENCH DIP

Since 1908, Cole's has been serving its famed French Dips to hungry Angelinos.

The Downtown LA favorite looks like a bar, because it is the city's oldest public house.

Dips come in pork, pastrami, beef, turkey and lamb.

All come with aus jus and an atomic pickle spear -- a dill drowned in wonderfully spicy red pepper flakes.

We highly recommend the pork dip with cheddar cheese.

You dip the meat and cheese on French Bread into the aus jus for two seconds.

Lift it out and the crusty bread is delightfully soggy, the cheese almost melted and the meat bathed in the salty, warm aus jus.

The French Fries, regular or spicy garlic, are to die for.

Lunches at Cole's go best with a pint of beer.

Coles review continues tomorrow November 6
