National French Dip Day
Celebrated and enjoyed today on National French Dip Day, a French dip, also known as a beef dip, is a hot sandwich made with roast beef (usually thinly sliced) and a French roll or baguette. It may be served plain but is usually served with au jus, which is French for "with juice" and consists of beef broth—or something similar, like beef gravy or stock—usually from the cooking process. French dips may also have other toppings, with Swiss cheese and onions being the most common. Beef may be substituted with roast pork, pastrami, turkey, lamb, or ham.
Philippe the Original (commonly called Philippe's today and known as Philippe's Restaurant when it opened) and Cole's French Dip (also known as Cole's Pacific Electric Buffet), both located in downtown Los Angeles, have a rivalry as to who is the originator of the French dip sandwich. National French Dip Day was initiated by Cole's French Dip in honor of its 110th anniversary on November 12, 2018. They offered a $10 French dip and martini combo all day. They had a similar offer the following year. Ironically, a "French Dip Day" had previously been celebrated by Philippe the Original, on October 6, 2008, in honor of their 100th anniversary. French dip sandwiches were priced at their original ten cents listing, and coffee was five cents.
Cole's and Philippe's both opened in 1908—Philippe's first and Cole's about a month later. While Cole's claims to have created the French dip at that time, Philippe's claims to have created it in 1917 or 1918. Philippe's uses the phrase "Home of the Original French Dip Sandwich" and calls the French dip their "specialty of the house." Philippe's French dip is served "single-dipped," "double-dipped," or "wet," with the bread being dipped in beef juices when it is put together. Philippe's and Cole's both have a spicy house mustard that patrons traditionally put on the sandwich.
Philippe's was founded by Philippe Mathieu, a French immigrant and cook who had arrived in Los Angeles five years earlier and opened a delicatessen. He sold Philippe's in 1927, and the descendants of those buyers changed the name of the restaurant to Philippe the Original. In 1951, on account of the construction of the Hollywood Freeway, it moved to its present location at 1001 N Alameda St.
There are several accounts as to the start of the sandwich at Philippe's. Among others, two are the most common or credible. The first comes from Philippe's website, which says:
One day in 1918, while making a sandwich, Mathieu inadvertently dropped the sliced french roll into the roasting pan filled with juice still hot from the oven. The patron, a policeman, said he would take the sandwich anyway and returned the next day with some friends asking for more dipped sandwiches. And so was born the 'French Dipped Sandwich," so called either because of Mathieu’s French heritage, the French roll the sandwich is made on or because the officer’s name was French. The answer is lost to history.
The second is a first-hand account, coming from Philippe Mathieu himself in a Los Angeles Times interview from 1951, written at the time of the relocation of the restaurant because of the Hollywood Freeway:
One day a police officer asked me if I would mind splitting one of these large loaves of French bread and filling it with 'some of the delicious roast pork.' I was not too busy, so I said, 'Sure.' Then he asked me to 'please cut it in half. I've got a friend outside who can eat it.' Then he asked for some pickles, onions and olives.
Mattieu went on to say:
Then we started making French-roll sandwiches for those who had smaller appetites. One day a customer saw some gravy in the bottom of a large pan of roast meat. He asked me if I would mind dipping one side of the French roll in that gravy. I did, and right away five or six others wanted the same.
So, by the supposed creator's own account, the French dip started out as a pork sandwich, not a beef sandwich, and was eaten with pickles, onions, and olives.
As for Cole's, one of Los Angeles's oldest bars, several stories have passed down through employees over the years. Records cannot be found of Cole's French dip being mentioned before Philippe's was known for them, and because of both of these reasons, its claim is not as strong as Phillipe's. An interview in the Los Angeles Times in 1997 of Gitti Beheshti, then co-owner and manager, says the following:
Mr. [Henry] Cole was German. He had a friend that was a chef working here. He was in the kitchen when someone wanted a sandwich, then the bread fell into the beef juice and they liked it. The other customer in line behind him asked for the same sandwich.
Another account claims that a chef by the name of Jack Garlinghouse made the sandwich for a customer who wanted a roast beef sandwich but had sore gums, so he dipped the sandwich in beef juices before serving it, softening the bread to make it easier to eat.
It's unknown why this Los Angeles-born sandwich has "French" in its name, but there are several plausible explanations. It could be because a French roll is used. It could be because it is dipped au jus—a French phrase for "with juice." It could be named for Philippe Mathieu, who was a French immigrant. Or, as mentioned in the first Philippe's story above, it could be because the officer who received the first French dip was named French.
Finally, it could be based on a pun. In the early twentieth century, a "French dip" was also a dress style—also used in men's and women's jackets—that dropped the waist to below the belt, to give the wearer a thinner appearance. The sandwich name could be poking fun at the fact that when one thinks about slimming down, they usually don't think of a sandwich made with meat and gravy. No matter why it has the name it does, or who its creator was, the French dip is not just beloved in Los Angeles, but around the world, and we celebrate and enjoy it today on National French Dip Day!

european here (genuinely curious): in reference to your “american home-cooked food isn’t just fast food, it’s a lot like french/italian food” post, could you give some examples? I don’t know what foods are american home staples, but your post piqued my interest
Well stews and soups for one. When I read recipes for stuff like beef bourguignon it’s quite familiar to me. Less wine perhaps but the principles of the dish are similar.
Italian-American food often also makes for easy quick food on weeknights. Pasta is something that can be just as easy or complicated as you want. You can make it from scratch at every step or just make sauce from canned ingredients and boxed pasta. Tomato paste, flour, pasta, and dried herbs are staples in most kitchens. Pretty much every household has their own way of making pasta sauces.
Roasts are popular during the winter. Both roasted veggies and roasted meat. Potatoes are popular year round but in the summer things like potato salad or fries or bagged chips are more common than stewed, mashed, or boiled potatoes.
Americans commonly cook with butter and olive oil, though canola oil is cheaper. In recent years though there’s been health questions about canola oil and some people only use it for deep frying now.
French cream sauces are pretty similar to American white gravy which we make with cream instead of milk. We do also make white sauce too and will put it on most things. I find it especially good on pizza instead of red sauce. A lot of people also put it on pasta or vegetables.
A lot of the way we eat potatoes is pretty similar to some French dishes. What we call scalloped potatoes is very similar to a French dish called potatoes au gratin. Not identical, but extremely similar.
Stuff like French onion soup and duck a l’orange is also decently popular here even if not everyday food and are things you’d more commonly make yourself than buy from a restaraunt.
French style breads and pastries are also quite popular here. Baguettes are common things to cut up to eat with dip. Croissants with coffee are common things to eat for a small breakfast or an afternoon snack. French style breads both sweet and not are also common breads used for sandwiches. Italian style coffee is also more and more popular these days but that wasn’t true until relatively recently.
A lot of similarities really lie in the ingredients we use. We often cook things in butter for example. Or add flour to stews to thicken them. Or add milk to things. Or use wine to deglaze pans for the flavor.
A lot of home cooking in the US is affected by other immigrant populations. Tacos or curry are staples in my diet for example. But when you get down to more traditional comfort food it’s potatoes, cream sauces, stews, herbs, roasts, and pasta. Stuff that’s not identical to French or Italian cooking but is very heavily influenced by it.
TLDR: It’s butter!

Hi I just wanted to say. Be hedonistic. Eat a warm chocolate chip cookie and dip it in milk. Take a hot shower in winter after coming in from the crisp cold air. Take a cold shower in the summer when you feel all sticky. Take fucking naps. Enjoy that glass of wine. Smoke some weed. Eat a honey sandwich. Dissolve cotton candy on your tongue or in milk and drink said sugar milk. Rewatch your favorite show. Eat some fried chicken. Eat a donut. Scarf down some french fries and onion rings. Enjoy your favorite pie. Go. Be happy. I love you.

The largest chocolate shake on earth.
Can eat an impossible amount of food and still feel hungry afterwards.
Mikasa
An entire row of Oreos. If not, the box.
Instant ramen: dry, crushed up, in the bag, poured into her mouth like a drink.
Sodium intake: off the charts
Armin
Banana cream pie, right out of the tin.
Lay’s potato chips. Plain only. Neither ruffled nor kettle-cooked. Just straight salty goodness.
Pop Tarts, all the flavors he never got to try as a kid. 
Levi
Nutella and a spoon. Straight out of the jar.
Fries dipped in ice cream, only when no one is looking.
Downs a tube of mini M&Ms like its a shot.
Erwin
Fancy boy poutine.
A large cheese pizza all to himself. Will hiss at anyone that comes near.
Fried chicken sandwiches. Insists on getting one from every restaurant and having a taste test so that he can determine “for the good of humanity” which is truly the superior chain.
Hange
Jack in the Box. Munchie Meals. Can’t stop laughing at the tiny tacos.
Food on food on food. Cheese fries. Chili cheese fries. Chicago-style hot dog.
Some freak invention like chicken nuggets on pizza or donuts and ice cream.
Jean
Onion rings. Cheese curds. Mozzarella sticks. When in doubt, deep fry.
Puts Pocky in his mouth, walks around hoping someone will bite the other end.

Sasha
French fries. Duh.
Sauce on her face, fingers, and the floor.
At first, she is feral keeping all the food to herself. But once the good vibes really kick in, she goes around the room insisting everyone try some.
Connie
Chicken wings. Lofty overconfidence makes him order a flavor that is way too hot for him to handle.
Whipped cream straight from the can to his mouth.
A potato in any form. Fries and chips are alright, but if you present this man a loaded baked potato, he will propose to you right then and there.

Sometimes one of you Tumblrs mentions a restaurant you dined at. Or maybe you post something about some small town I’ve not heard of.
I go to Google Maps to see the place. Street View show me what the sidewalk in front of the restaurant looks like. I like getting a sense of the neighborhood. Or, for towns, I click on the “restaurants” button to see local dining establishments and choose one that sounds interesting to me.
Then I read the menu like I’m actually sitting in the restaurant.
Appetizers -- I’m a big fan of French onion, lobster bisque, and other soups. Sometimes when a server says, “Our soup of the day is...” I interrupt and say, “I’ll take a cup of it, right now!”
Main dishes -- A French dip sandwich is always a front-runner. For Italian places I need to Google the various pasta and sauce types because often the names are unfamiliar to me. I like to see what is the most expensive cut of beef on the menu, as well as anything unusual. I ask my imaginary waiter: What’s better, the 84 ounce, 45 day dry-aged porterhouse, or the Spotted Owl Benedict?
Cocktails and beers -- I don’t have enough money or time on Earth to try all I want to. Rarely to I desire wine in a restaurant.
Desserts -- Nope. Not since I was a child have I wanted to order dessert in a restaurant. Bob, as a kid: Mom! Dad! I need pie! Parent: Not this time. As an adult: I can order literally whatever I want on this menu, there’s nothing stopping me, but dessert doesn’t interest me at all.
Coffee -- I love an after dinner espresso.
Best of all, when I’m done at this restaurant there’s no bill to pay. Sadly though, I’m probably more hungry than I was when I opened the menu.

Some fluff please, shy!child mc making breakfast for everyone, each plate their favorite type of breakfast. Like eggs, bacon, waffles, pancakes.
I don't know who you meant this for, I've got like... four or five child!Mc stories. I assume you mean Undertale, but I'll just do one for each of them.
Undertale:
The horrors would likely just eat anything she made them regardless, but their favored..
Grey (Horrortale Sans) honestly likes a simple breakfast, eats whatever's made. He does like bacon and eggs though, and will often make it a sandwich for ease.
Lunar (Horrortale Papyrus) still loves the dinosaur oatmeal, and that's his favorite breakfast to have. With some toast and orange juice too, if he's feeling fancy.
Brick (Horrorfell Sans) likes sausage and bacon actually, with a bit of syrup to dip the sausage in.
Birch (Horrorfell Papyrus) has a bit of a sweet tooth admittedly. He likes waffles, they're his go to when he has the time.
Stone (Horrorswap Sans) will honestly eat anything really, though doesn't indulge in his favorite often because.. he doesn't find it healthy. His favorite is cinnamon rolls! Especially homemade ones.
Silence (Horrorswap Papyrus) just likes a simple bowl of cereal honestly. Specifically the one with marshmallows, but the off brand ones that come in large bags.
Pitch (Horrorswapfell Sans) likes French toast, some bacon, and a cup of black coffee. Simple and delicious.
Wolf (Horrorswapfell Papyrus) isn't exactly picky. He'll eat anything you put in front of him. But he does particularly like French toast sticks, with a side of sausage to dip in the syrup too.
Pass (Horrormob Sans) has a bit of an order. Poached eggs, crispy bacon, not too cooked toast, and a cup of black coffee. He prefers making his own breakfast though, because he's very particular about how it's done.
Button (Horrormob Papyrus) is very similar to his brother. Only he'd like oatmeal instead of eggs, and he likes to sweeten his coffee too.
Sunny (Horror G!Sans) likes eggs. Funnily enough, he likes them sunny side up and on toast.
Briar (Horror G!Papyrus) likes a bacon and eggs sandwich, something easy he can just grab and go with but still tastes good. Kind of like a McMuffin.
Poppy (Horrorlust Sans) honestly just prefers a Blueberry bagel with cream cheese, it's his favorite breakfast meal.
Rose (Horrorlust Papyrus) likes chocolate chip pancakes drowned in syrup, sometimes with a side of sausage or bacon and eggs.
Admittedly, they'd prefer to make the breakfast with Mc. Just so she doesn't end up burning herself and it's a fun bonding experience! They find it very cute and sweet she's putting her cooking experience with them into making them breakfast though.
BATIM:
(This is set in a Who Framed Roger Rabbit mob Au, remember!)
Bendy admittedly has a bit of a sweet tooth. He likes pancakes with a side of eggs and bacon. And some coffee to help wake him up.
Boris is a simple wolf who likes simple things, but who also likes cooking. His favorite breakfast, which he doesn't make often, is biscuits and gravy.
Alice is a bit... picky, so to say. She likes her breakfast a specific way. An omlette with bacon and cheese, and some veggies and onions. With a side of toast, lightly buttered, and a black coffee.
Allison likes blueberry waffles with some apple juice, that's it really.
Tom is also a simple wolf who likes simple things, but doesn't like the hassle of cooking. He likes some scrambled eggs and bacon, with a black coffee.
They'd all be flattered (and surprised) and a bit wary of Mc making something for them, that's real sweet but uh... They'll eat it! They're just a bit concerned and would want her to wait until Boris is there to help her, you know so she doesn't hurt herself.
CotL:
(This'll go probably considerably out of canon, but that's okay. We're just gonna roll with it..)
Lambert is really simple to please. Half of the time they're eating grass sandwiches. But they really like vegetable omlettes, and they'll gobble those right down.
Narinder likes steak and eggs, it's his go to for breakfast when he can eat. Otherwise he usually just skips breakfast entirely.
Leshy likes anything. Some type of veggie dish, a meat dish, any follower that displeased him this morning? All good.... but he'll go for the cinnamon rolls first.
Heket honestly likes a veggie and meat omlette the best, but she's not too picky when it comes down to it.
Kallamar likes Shrimp and Grits honestly, but he'll eat that any time of the day. But it still is his favorite breakfast meal.
Shamura simply likes biscuits and gravy with some toast to go along with it.
Aym likes sticky buns. Just uh, don't tell Narinder.
Baal likes eggs the best, with a side of toast and bacon.
They'd be charmed she got up to make them breakfast, but Lambert would be concerned if she did it herself. That's a lot of cooking and she's very fragile, she didn't burn herself did she? They'd be a bit busy fretting over her than eating... Kallamar and Narinder would be wary, but everyone else would just eat and give many compliments to the cook.

Vigdis and Serana go to the Wendy's drive through.
What do each of them get? Do all the french fries make it home? How many of them would Vigdis allow Serana to steal before she slaps her hand away?
Now I really want Wendy's
Serana, wildly enough, gets that classic chicken sandwich and throws vegetables on it [no onions though, fuck that]. Paired with a large chocolate frosty and some lemonade, of course.
Vigdis, on the other hand, can't fucking believe Serana gets a chicken sandwich and orders a hamburger, like a fucking normal person. She gets cheese AND condiments AND vegetables. Give her that juicy juicy burger. And she gets a little Sprite, in case some idiot gets an upset stomach.
While Serana has her own fries, she's under the impression that Vig's taste better. She 'successfully' steals one to dip in her frosty before she's slapped by Vig on the second attempt. There's definitely a suggestive comment in there somewhere.
While the fries make it all the way home, for the most part, they're forgotten about and are eventually returned to with grumbles about how cold they are. Someone was impatient.
