FRENCH DIP SANDWICH: The only thing French about this sandwich of
thin-sliced roast beef or other meat on a long French roll dipped in
meat juices is the identity of the man who invented it, Philippe
Mathieu. He owned a sandwich shop called Philippe the Original in
downtown Los Angeles -- still in business -- and the story is that one
day in 1918 he was making a sandwich for a policeman and accidentally
dropped the sliced roll into the roasting pan, where it sopped up the
juices. The policeman ate it anyway, liked it and brought friends in for
more.
