    Week 3 Food of the Opposing Team brings us to Los Angeles, where my research told me I had to do one of three things: In-N-Out Burger, street tacos, or Philippe’s French Dip. I went with the French dip not just because it’s a delicious sandwich that can certainly support a day of sports fandom, but because it’s got a lot of history as well.
