This is sort of like asking what happened in The Lady or the Tiger? You'll never get THE answer. Philippe's and Cole's both claim to be the oldest restaurant in LA and to have invented the French Dip Sandwich. Apparently, Cole's longevity claim relies on not having changed locations, which Philippe's has done. As for the sandwich, Philippe's is generally said to be better and the location is not skanky like Cole's (being in the middle of skidrow doesn't help).
