Memorial Day Weekend Parties Catered For You by Benjies Deli!

Won't your friends be impressed?

Won’t your friends be impressed?

So, you’re having a gathering at your place during this Memorial Day—or maybe more than one! Let’s be frank, who has all the fun? All your friends and relatives who know that they will be well fed and full of booze, or you who has spent two days in the kitchen peeling, boiling, slicing, stirring, grilling, and plating food? How about (for once!?) you let someone else do the work so that you can really enjoy the party instead of forcing a smile as you watch the last two days of work, toil and struggle go into someone else’s gullet?

The staff at Benjies New York Deli stands at the ready to be your silent chef while hiding in their kitchen waiting for your phone call. The beauty is that nobody has to know—except you as you pore over their menu, pick the items you want and customize your menu to your friends’ likings. (more…)

Orange County’s Benjies Deli is Ready For Cinco de Mayo!

Jalapeño Poppers Recipe

What? Benjies Deli is ready for a Mexican-themed event? That’s right. And before you dismiss that as silly, think about this: What is Cinco de Mayo? If you guessed “Mexico’s answer to Independence Day”, you’d be dead wrong. That’s on September 16th.

Cinco de Mayo isn’t even really celebrated anywhere but the United States—I guess we like at least one reason a month to have a huge theme party—and Puebla, an area of Mexico who won a battle against the French back in 1862. And that’s what they are commemorating with Cinco de Mayo: democracy, the freedom from tyranny and The Battle of Puebla, won on May 5th, 1862.

So, enough of the history lesson. Why not come in on Saturday or Sunday this weekend to celebrate democracy at Benjies Deli? (more…)

Celebrate Purim in Orange County at Benjies Deli!

Hamantashen cookies.

Purim is one of our favorite times of year. Even though the holiday is just 24 hours long, it’s definitely a fun one! We’re always happy when the Jewish festivals can take what might have been a dark time in history and turn it into a celebration.

But we also like it for the feasting, the drinking and the cookies. What cookies, you may ask? Hamantashen cookies! (more…)

Superbowl Sunday Parties: Benjies Deli Has You Catered

veggiesLo

 

It’s an exciting Superbowl this season, now up to its 47th year. And we have a California team in the game—the San Francisco 49ers, and they’re favored to win! Sorry Baltimore Ravens— we know that Ray Lewis would probably implode if they won the game, and he is deserving of the win on his eve of retirement—but we’re rooting for the 49ers.

So, what are you planning for Superbowl Sunday? The weather forecast for Southern California makes it look like a planning barbecue will be a great idea. (Again—sorry fans in the rest of the country! We’re really blessed here!)If you’re thinking of hosting one, don’t forget about our awesome Nathan’s World Famous Hot Dogs that you can serve up alongside your barbecued burgers, plus all sorts of appetizers for snacking during the game. Our deviled eggs are famous across the state, and we offer the traditional Superbowl snack items, like Hot Wings or Barbeque Meatballs by the dozen. Other hors d’oeuvres include chicken fingers, mini chicken egg rolls or the Cubed Tidbit Cheese & Salami tray. Order now so we can make sure your order is ready for you on the big day!

But what if you’re invited to a party? Well, don’t be rude and show up empty-handed! Call us and order one or more of our delicious platters: choose from the Sandwich Platter, the 16″ Ring Sandwich, the Cold Cut Buffet, the Brown Bag Buffet, the Smoked Fish Platter or the Lox Platter.

If you’re invited to one, why not call up Benjies the day before to order up a few of their delicious platters. That way you won’t miss any of the Superbowl action. Get Hot Wings or Barbeque Meatballs by the dozen, or choose from one of our many sandwich trays. Want the sandwiches ready to eat? Try the Sandwich Platter or the 16″ Ring Sandwich. Want to give your guests the option of making their own? No problem: order the Cold Cut Buffet, the Brown Bag Buffet, the Smoked Fish Platter or the Lox Platter. Mini sandwiches are always a bit hit at these parties, too, especially with kids and those who don’t want to fill up with a big Benjies sandwich.

We also have some lighter options too, like fruit trays, or vegetable trays. These are great to make sure that you have something for vegetarians and vegans—it’s SoCal after all, and you want everyone to feel welcome, even if they’re not going to eat the Hot Wings or hamburgers.

Ready to place your order? Call (714) 541-6263 and ask for Lloyd, Noriko or Chanele to make a catering order, or just come on in and sit down for a fantastic meal—we’ll cook it fresh for you.

Benjies Deli: Spooky Catering Ideas for Halloween Parties

It’s that time of year again, and many people’s favorite time of year. The air gets crisper, the leaves start changing, and in Southern California, we might even have to throw on a sweater and trade the flip-flops for sneakers. It’s also Halloween, where visions of bags full of candy dance in the heads of young children, while adults dream up that perfect outfit for the costume party.

And since Halloween is on a Wednesday this year (which means the Day of the Dead is on Thursday), we’ve really got two weekends to celebrate, and that’s no bad thing. Well, it is if you’re the one putting on the parties! But you shouldn’t worry—Benjies New York Deli is here to provide all the perfect party food while all you have to do is open a few bottles of spirits and mixers and make sure there’s plenty of ice. (Dry ice too, if it’s that kind of scary party!) (more…)
