Happy 65th birthday Langers!

Wonder what the line is going to be like for free sandwiches on June 15 & 16?

Happy 80th birthday Canter's

The Los Angeles Times had a nice story on Canter's today, they covered their 80th birthday on July 12 which was celebrated with 80 cent sandwiches just for the occasion. Last weekend I visited their original Boyle Heights location at 2323 Cesar Chavez (formerly Brooklyn Avenue). Its now a Kids Dental office complete with scary people dressed as clowns out front.

R.I.P. - Harold Price, co-founder of Canter's on Fairfax

Harold Price, the co-founder of the Canter's location on Fairfax was 89. Mr. Price and his (then) wife Selma Canter Udko opened Canter's in 1948 a few doors down from their present location. They, along with partners Ben & Jenny Canter moved Canter's to their present home in 1953. Prior to the move the building at 419 N. Fairfax housed the Esquire Theater.

Happy Birthday Canter's!!

Canter's celebrated their big 6-0 on October 14 with .60 corned beef sandwiches. Mind you that's 60 years in the Fairfax district. They opened their first Los Angeles Canter's location(in Boyle Heights) in 1931, which would actually make them 77 in L.A. years.... Stop in, grab a bite and get a jar of pickles to take home.
