When Is National French Dip Day 2025

History and Origin of the French Dip
The French dip sandwich features roasted meat on a long roll, served with natural pan juices for dipping. Two Los Angeles restaurants, Philippe the Original and Cole's, both claim to have created the sandwich around the early 1900s. Philippe the Original opened in 1918, while Cole's opened in 1908, making them the earliest known purveyors of this style.
