It's April 24th. From your city to your ears, this is California News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. Sunnyvale's been holding down the French dip game since 2009 with Adamson's, the only spot in the South Bay laser focused on those. Sandwiches. No distractions like burgers or fancy combos. Just wood-roasted Angus beef, top sirloin or prime rib piled on fresh rolls, dunked in ajus. Peter Greg Adamson cooked up the seasoning from his Midwest childhood memories. Now they've doubled up with a second location on South Basque Avenue in San Jose, slinging dips with longer hours than the original. You'll find tweaks like melt dips, prime rib specials, even a barbecue version, plus sides such as house coleslaw, potato salad, beans, fries, and onion rings. Don't sleep on their special draft root beer. It's a must. First love how rare it is to find a place all in on French dips amid menus packed with everything else.

The sandwich traces back to Los Angeles, where Philippe the original and Cole's specific electric buffet, both claim invention, Cole's just shut down after 117 years, leaving Philippe's to keep the tradition alive. The new San Jose spot runs from 10 a.m. to 615 p.m., Mondays and Tuesdays, stretching to 7 p.m., Wednesdays through Saturdays at 9 p.m., 69 South Basque Avenue. Original and Sunnyvale hits from 10.30 a.m. to 2 p.m., Mondays to Saturdays, both closed Sundays. If you're craving that dip perfection, hit up AtomsenseFrenchtip.com for more pure beefy bliss, keeping the classic rolling strong.
