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.

The Ultimate St. Patrick’s Day Dish: Corned Beef and Cabbage

Traditional corned beef and cabbage...delicious!

 

What’s the deal with corned beef and cabbage? Is there corn mashed in together with the beef?  And a head of cabbage used as garnish on the side? Or, are you only familiar with the over-salted version of the dish, forever consigned to tacky St. Patrick’s Day celebrations at rundown bars?  Well, in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, this is a tribute to one of Benjies Deli’s signature dishes, corned beef and cabbage!

Corned beef has quite an extensive and secular history, but is most famous for its origin in Ireland. The name “corned beef” derives not from the vegetable but from the process of curing the meat using large pieces of rock-salt kernels, which are called “corns of salt”.   Up until the 19th century, the Irish were the main exporters of corned beef, finding the preserved and salted meat a necessity for the famine-stricken country.  There is great debate about whether or not corned beef and cabbage is authentically Irish or not, many arguing that the dish came about after the Irish immigrated to America.

Authentically Irish or not, you can’t deny the deliciousness of corned beef and cabbage! If you’ve ever had a bad experience with corned beef and cabbage (ahem, American bars!), come on by to Benjies Deli to dispel any fallacies you ever had of this tasty dish.  Yes, that’s right—the Jewish do it better! Also, Benjies Deli will be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day for an entire week (Monday, March 14 to Sunday, March 20), even more reason for you to come in and enjoy a plate and a pint of green Budweiser!

And don’t worry if you are celebrating St. Patrick’s Day at home– Benjies Deli has got you covered for dinner! We offer deluxe catering, and can provide you and your friends with party-sized platters of our most popular dishes—including corned beef and cabbage.  Minimum party size is 6 people, and we need 24-72 hours advance notice. Call us today at (714) 541-6263 and place your order!

St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations At Benjies!

It’s March, and you know what that means—why, St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, of course! We were just too impatient last month to hold our excitement in, but now the month of shamrocks, pots o’ gold, leprechauns (and Benjies Deli’s award-winning corned beef and pints of green Budweiser, too) is finally here.  The best part is that Benjies Deli won’t just be holding a one-day St. Patrick’s Day celebration—no sir, we will be having a week-long bash starting Monday, March 14 all the way through Sunday, March 20!

Why on earth are we celebrating St. Patrick’s Day for a week?  Well, why not?  Why not partake in Ireland’s most celebrated holiday, where we can honor the country’s most revered patron saint? Or, just as importantly, why limit our customers to just one day of celebration?  We would hate to see our customers have to wait in a jam-packed restaurant on March 17, so in order accommodate everyone, Benjies Deli will be holding the St. Patrick’s Day festivities for six days.

And, a bonus reason for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day is that the holiday is right before the first day of spring, and what better way to ring in the new season than with our famous pastrami and some matzo ball soup?

Come in during the week with your friends and take advantage of our big screens and full bar in the Bamboo Lounge. The Lakers are playing the Orlando Magic on Monday, March 14th, the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday, March 18th, and the Portland Trailblazers on Sunday, March 20th—watch the Lakers win while celebrating the Irish holiday with some hot corned beef and cabbage and refreshing green Budweiser!

Let’s Talk Turkey–Turkey Pastrami, That Is!

Turkey pastrami!

Let’s face it—everyone loves a pastrami sandwich. Yes, even vegetarians and vegans, who seem to have a Reuben or a “pastrami” sandwich on every restaurant menu!

And why not? Pastrami has a delicious, savory flavor profile that makes it perfect for sandwiches. And you know how skyscraper-high Benjies Deli packs their sandwiches. But what about those who aren’t vegetarian, but can’t handle beef? What about those who are watching their weight, and need a leaner meat than beef in their sandwich, but don’t want to sacrifice taste? (more…)

There’s Still Time To Order SuperBowl Sandwiches for Sunday!

Chicken salad

Fear not, dear Benjies and Superbowl lovers! There’s still time to order your party trays, appetizers and sandwiches for your Superbowl Sunday party. Why slave over a hot stove on Saturday when you could just pick up some wonderful, freshly made food from Benjies on Sunday morning?

Just think: a platter of deviled eggs, just like mom used to make, and made by hand. If you’re attending a party, these are a perfect appetizer to bring. Benjies also makes their chicken, tuna and egg salads from scratch too. What restaurant makes anything from scratch anymore? Benjies New York Deli, that’s who. They’ve been doing it that way since Stan Weinstein opened the restaurant in 1967. (more…)

Get Your Deli Platters for Superbowl Sunday!

Superbowl XLV

The clock is ticking on the final countdown to the Superbowl, and after last week’s Playoffs, fans from Philly and Wisconsin sure are looking forward to February 6th.

So the clock is also ticking on the time needed for catering. Benjies Deli has been taking a lot of orders for sandwich trays and deli platters for the big day. Countless eggs will be subjected to deviling, wings stripped from hot and spicy buffaloes and barbecue sauce applied liberally to tasty balls of meat.

If you want to have scrumptious Benjies New York Deli goodness at your home on the big day, then give us a call now to make sure we can fill your order. Let Benjies do all the work for you! Let’s face it—your wife will either be out shopping or, if she’s a fan, she’s going to want to watch the game, not make sandwiches for your buddies.

Here’s an idea: clear the coffee table and measure it. Then call Benjies New York Deli and order up a combination of sandwich fixin’s and finger food. Pick it up before your friends come over for your Superbowl party, unwrap the platters, and wait to see your friends’ eyes light up when they come in! (more…)

Benjies and the Jets

The NFL Playoffs are here!

Well, after yesterday’s games, we’re narrowing down the teams that will grace the field in Arlington, TX in two weeks time. Many of our “bird” teams have flown the Superbowl coop, including the Seahawks, the Ravens and the Falcons. And seeing as how our nation’s bird is the eagle, perhaps there’s a link there with the Patriot’s loss.

So next weekend we’ll see how the New York Jets do against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Green Bay Packers will battle the Chicago Bears for the honor of going to football’s ultimate showdown. Sounds like there will be time spent in front of the television, and we know what that means. Snacks. Oh yeah, lots of snacks. (more…)
