Let's Celebrate National French Dip Day!

Celebrated Every November 12th.

November 12th is National French Dip Day, a tasty daily holiday celebrating the classic American sandwich that pairs thinly sliced meat on a French roll with savory au jus for dipping. Created in 2018 by Cole’s Restaurant to mark the 110th anniversary of the restaurant’s opening, this day honors a beloved comfort food that has delighted sandwich lovers for over a century.

A Few French Dip Facts...

• A French dip sandwich, also called a beef dip, is a hot sandwich made of thinly sliced roast beef or other meats served on a French roll or baguette.
• This sandwich is often served with a small cup of au jus—a flavorful beef broth made from the meat’s cooking juices—for dipping as you eat.
• There are several stories about how it may have been invented , ranging from accidentally dropping it into meat drippings to customers requesting their sandwiches be dipped to avoid waste. Another tale involves a chef dipping a sandwich to soften stale bread.
• One story tells of a chef who created the French dip sandwich by dipping the bread to make it easier to eat for a customer with sore gums, and some accounts even blend this story with another, leaving the true origin of the sandwich a fun mystery.
