There's no doubt that the French dip sandwich originated in Los Angeles but where in LA is still up for debate. Two old-school LA sandwich shops Cole's and Philippe the Original claim to have invented the beloved gravy-dipped roast beef sandwich. Philippe's claims founder Philippe Mathieu invented the sandwich in 1918 when he accidentally dropped a French roll into a juice-filled frying pan before making and serving it to a customer. Cole's on the other hand says it created the sandwich in 1908 for a customer who asked for the crusty bread to be softened with meat juices to treat a sore mouth.
