Is Phillipe's still the go to place for a layover in LA?

[p&sr]

To avoid confusion for those who are new, the restaurant is, in fact, not named "Phillipe's." It's "Phillipe the Original" (no possessive), and that's what the big signs outside say.

Anyway, back when I was local we referred to it as "Philippe's".

Two different things. "Philippe the Original" is the Name of the place, and "Philippe's" is what it is called. By everybody.

You also don't pronounce the E on the end. Philippe was French, not Spanish.

You can if you want to. Half of everybody does.

Then again, who ever heard of a "Spanish DIp Sandwich?"

Maybe a Philippe where you pronounce the E on the end

Just to count my vote in. I love this place!
