Here’s a fun fact: Americans love their beef—1.3 billion pounds of it are eaten every year, in fact! And the biggest beef-eating day of the year is fast approaching. Statistically, Americans consume more beef on Memorial Day than on any other day of the year!  Memorial Day, traditionally celebrated on the last Monday of May, commemorates all of the American soldiers who have served our country in the past and present. This Memorial Day, bypass the burgers and barbeque, and take your friends and family over to Benjies Deli and enjoy our New York style deli selections.

Get the Deli Feast (our specialty!), an unbelievable selection of all our deli favorites, which includes hot corned beef, pastrami, turkey, tongue, salami, and chopped liver.   Get your beef fix on with the rest of America, and order our world famous Reuben, a corned beef sandwich topped with Swiss cheese and sauerkraut grilled on rye bread, all served with a heaping side of creamy potato salad. Benjies Deli also has the best melts ever!  Grab a Patty Melt, a ½ lb fresh broiled hamburger patty smothered in caramelized onions and melted American cheese on grilled rye bread.  Top it off with a side of coleslaw and French fries, and you’ve got an unbeatable combination!

Even though the Lakers are out of the playoffs, Benjies Deli still loves them and we want to thank them for the past three seasons of amazing plays and games.  They have had a great run, and they will always be our favorite team. Go Lakers!

The Lakers may be out, but that doesn’t mean that the playoffs aren’t still going on (even though we know the Lakers were definitely a main attraction of the playoffs for many basketball fans like ourselves!).  Come join Benjies Deli and catch the Heat versus the Celtics.  Will Rajon Rondo still make amazing plays even with a dislocated elbow? Shaquille O’Neal finally made his postseason appearance after suffering from a sprained calf, but will the injury hinder him? Of course, our eyes are on Miami’s Dwayne Wade and Lebron James!  And don’t forget about the Bulls versus the Hawks; the series is currently tied at 2-2, and Atlanta definitely has made quite a step up to keep Chicago’s star guard Derrick Rose from dominating.  Needless to say, the playoffs are heating up!

Come Watch Lakers in the Playoffs at Benjies Deli!

Go Lakers!

The 2011 NBA Basketball Playoffs are in high gear, and the Los Angeles Lakers have shifted into full throttle! Currently, the Lakers are leading 3-2 against the New Orleans Hornets.  Benjies Deli admits we were feeling a tad worried after a rather atrocious Game 1, where front man Pau Gasol, who normally averages 22.3 points per game, only scored a meager eight points and grabbed only six rebounds on the offensive.  The poor performance caused the Lakers, ranked number 2 team by the Western Conference, to lose to the seventh-seeded Hornets! Talk about an upset! Lakers made a comeback in Game 2, with Andrew Bynum, Ron Artest and Lamar Odom picking up on Gasol’s slack, though the Hornets remained competitive until the end and definitely gave the Lakers a run for their money.

Though the Lakers are off to a fumbling start, Benjies Deli still has faith in our favorite LA team! Come out to Benjies Deli tonight to support the Lakers and watch them defeat the Hornets and advance in the playoffs.  Enjoy a plate of our Kobe Beef Sliders and watch as Kobe Bryant beefs it up with the referees. Or, try out the Benjie Special, a hot pastrami sandwich and coleslaw with Russian dressing on rye, served with potato salad.  Longing for something even heartier?  Don’t forget about our famous corned beef and cabbage plate, the best Orange County has to offer!

If you are just feeling snacky, grab a drink at the Bamboo Lounge’s fully stocked bar. There are six large screen TVs and an abundance of space to seat all of your friends. Dunk into a tall glass of ice-cold draft beer, and score big with our corned beef, pastrami and Swiss cheese triple-decker sandwich as tall as Andrew Bynum. Feeling the team spirit?  Share a deli platter, like the cold cut buffet or the 16″ ring sandwich tray, with your friends. With our deli platters, no one has to worry about ordering, they can just grab a sandwich while they watch their favorite team—the Lakers.

If you want to enjoy the game in the comforts of your own home, Benjies Deli can still help out with your catering needs–All of our deli platters are available for home parties too! Make sure you call 48-72 hours ahead to order before your event. That way you can have Benjies Deli do all the work while you relax and take all the credit. Benjies Deli makes entertaining at home easy and delicious.  For catering inquiries and ordering, please call Benjies Deli at (714) 541-6263.

Watch the Masters Tournament at Benjies Deli!

Augusta National Golf Club, home and host of the Masters Tournament

The first week of April hails excitement for many golf fans across the nation, as the one of the biggest golf tournaments of the year, the Masters Tournament, finally kicks off.  The Masters Tournament, originally called the “Augusta National Invitation” tournament, began in 1934 as the brainchild of golf extraordinaire Bobby Jones.  After retiring from his golf career, Jones pursued a different dream—to build the ultimate golf course.  Jones found the perfect piece of land in Augusta, Georgia, and with the help of Clifford Roberts (who later became the chairman of the course), the two transformed the lot into what is known today as the legendary August National Golf Club.   Many deem the Augusta Course as the best golf course in the nation, and it continually ranks in Golf Digest’s Top 100 Golf Courses of America.  The August National Golf Club is the official golf course for the Masters Tournament, an event with as just as formidable of a reputation as the golf course itself.

 

 

This year will be the 75th Masters Tournament, scheduled from April 7-April 10 2011.  Watch as the golf world’s biggest names, from Hideki Matsuyama to Tiger Woods, compete for the coveted green jacket and the championship title.

 

Join Benjies Deli at our Bamboo Lounge, which boasts six wide-screen televisions so you and your friends won’t miss a single tee-off.  The Bamboo Bar is a fully stocked bar with ample seating for large groups, and even has a menu of tasty bar food that changes every week.  Or, if you are feigning for a full meal, like Benjies Deli‘s world famous pastrami sandwich or our matzo ball soup, you can order off Benjies Deli‘s full menu of classic deli selections.

 

Want to watch the Masters Tournament from the comfort of your own home? No problem! Benjies Deli also provides delicious catering for parties and gatherings.  From build-your-own sandwich platter options to fully catered beef brisket meals, Benjies Deli has got you covered for your next party.  Check out our deli platters and catering options here and call us at least 48 hours in advance at (714)541-6263 to place your order.

Traditional Passover Seder Meal at Benjies Deli

Filed under: Benjies,catering,Events,Holidays — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — lloydaw @ 9:19 am

March is always an eventful month for Benjies Deli, filled with collegiate basketball games and St. Patrick’s Day festivities. But now that the celebrations have subsided, we are gearing up for another big event: Passover. Passover will commence on Tuesday, April 19th, 2011 and will continue for seven days.  In true Jewish fashion, we will be doing our part for Passover by offering a traditional Seder meal.

The Seder is traditionally a ceremonial meal consumed on the first night of Passover.   The rituals and foods of the Seder all represent something symbolic; For example, the unleavened bread represents the urgency of the Israelites having to leave Egypt.  An entire process of reading passages, singing, and drinking goblets of wine usually accompanies the meal.

During April 18th-19th after 4 PM only, you can come in to Benjies Deli and enjoy a traditional Seder meal for only $14.95.  Or, if you prefer to have your traditional meal at home, you can call ahead to place a to-go order for only $15.95.

There are certain foods eaten during the ritual Seder family meal served on the first two nights of Passover. Although over time, family customs may have changed the items served at the Seder, the following foods usually appear on the Seder plate:

 

• Matzoh: Three unleavened matzohs are layered within napkins as a reminder of how quickly the Israelites were forced to flee Egypt, leaving no time for dough to rise. Two are eaten during the service, and one (the Aftkomen), is hidden during the ceremony to be later found as a prize.

• Maror: bitter herbs, usually horseradish or romaine lettuce, used to symbolize the bitterness of slavery.

• Charoses: a mixture of apples, wine, nuts and cinnamon, as a reminder of the mortar used in building by the Jews during their slavery

• Beitzah: a roasted egg, as a symbol of life and the continuation of existence.

• Karpas: a vegetable, usually celery or boiled potato, representing hope and redemption; served with a bowl of salted water to represent the tears shed.

• Zeroah: traditionally a piece of roasted lamb shankbone, symbolizing the paschal sacrificial offering

• Wine: four glasses of wine are drunk during the service to represent the four-fold promise of redemption. A special glass is left for Elijah the prophet.

To place your order for a Seder meal, please call Benjies Deli at (714) 541-6263.
