Cole’s 109th Anniversary Celebration

One of L.A.'s sandwich institutions is celebrating its birthday in style, with live jazz, a multicourse meal prepared by a few of L.A.'s top chefs, and what it's billing as the world's largest old-fashioned. Help Cole's French Dip ring its 109th birthday by taking part in a meal by Neal Fraser of Redbird and Christian Page of Cassell’s, and you'll enjoy gourmet French dips, roasts of both lamb and salmon, a few classic American sides, and cocktails, and you'll finish it all off with pie. Come looking sharp (like you needed a reminder), because you can also enter the best-dressed contest, wherein the winner receives a complimentary dinner for two at Cole's, plus four cocktail tokens from the Varnish. Grab your seat in advance, whether you'll be taking part in the 6-6:30pm seating, or those from 7-7:30; 8-8:30; or 9-9:30.
