Waiters who do Langer's and Canter's

Nice story in the L.A. Times by Robert Faturechi: there are several waiters who sandwich in deli shifts at Langer's by day then head over to the Fairfax area to work Canter's at night. Destined to be tomorrow's most-viewed on the LAT site.

Sharing workers makes sense, the deli owners say, because top talent is rare. A good waiter who understands the makings of a mean Reuben is hard to find.

"It has nothing to do at all with Canter's and I getting along," said Norm Langer, who took over running the deli from his late father. "It requires manual dexterity. It requires caring. It requires knowledge. Every sandwich is its own work of art."

Hey, that's the slogan at Art's Deli in Studio City.
