1. Drive to Langers
2. Order and eat the best corned beef on rye imaginable
3. Go home and celebrate with a bottle or can of Guinness, and a shot of Irish whiskey.
(Sorry, but this is only available to those within driving distance of downtown Los Angeles.)
There are two food items I really miss from Chicago environs. First is the Italian beef sandwiches au jus with cooked sweet peppers and hot chilies served on a hoagy bun at Portillo’s, and 2nd is thinly sliced corned beef piled high on rye bread in any good Jewish deli. I have not found any thing comparable and delicious west of Mississippi.
