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.

Hanukkah is almost upon us, and what a wonderful time of year it is! Some people just treat themselves to their favorite Jewish dishes at the holidays, and we want them all to know that we serve most of them all year round. That’s right—have latkes any day of the week at Benjies. We’ve got them any time you want them.

What else does Benjies Deli have in the way of the traditional Jewish dishes? Well, we don’t want to brag, but your mother would be proud of our menu. Start with some noshing—who doesn’t love some noshing while catching up with friends or relatives? (more…)

Rosh Hashanah is just a few days away, and if you’re looking for a place to celebrate this holiday, Benjies Deli should be your destination. We have been serving traditional Jewish food in Santa Ana every single day since we opened our doors in 1967. We also cater traditional foods, too, and our Seder plates are always popular in the spring. If you’re having a celebration for Rosh Hashanah, let Benjies Deli cater with your favorite Jewish menu items while you take all the credit! (more…)

Call Benjies Deli for Grad Party and Father’s Day Catering in Orange County!

It’s that time of year: Students are graduating and it’s the month we celebrate dear ol’ dad. And both are worth throwing an awesome party for!

Party, you ask? Who’s got time to cook for a party when the kids are out of school and you can’t let your husband barbeque because it’s Father’s Day? what if slaving over a hot barbeque all weekend doesn’t float your boat? What if you’d rather be resting on a raft in the pool? Don’t worry—Benjies Deli has the answer. (more…)

Happy Chanukah—Benjies Deli Has Everything You Need

If you’ve been waiting for Chanukah to indulge in some latkes, now is the time. We do have them every day of the week at Benjies, but now is the time to really go for it and savor those delicious potato pancakes! Why not get some pastrami too, and sandwich it between two latkes? Hmmm, we might need to talk to the chef about putting that on the menu…

Come in tonight for our mouthwateringly tender brisket dinners, and our long-awaited roast chicken, which customers have been begging us to put on the normal menu. But we like to keep it for special occasions, like Chanukah and Yom Kippur. (more…)

‘Tis the Season for Benjies New York Deli

Our smoked fish tray is a popular one for parties, especially around the holidays!

There is so much going on in November and December—Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas—and Benjies Deli can help you with it all. What about the NFL and Monday Night Football? We’ve got it covered. We can’t help break the NBA standoff between players and owners, as that seems impossible even for them to sort out! We miss you, Lakers…

But back to celebrating the season, whether that be family holidays or sports! Thanksgiving is coming up, and many people have family in town for the whole weekend. Now, if you’ve spent hours (or even days) preparing a humongous turkey dinner for 25 people, the last thing you want to do for the rest of the weekend is cook. And, let’s be honest, there’s only so much turkey that a human can eat. Call Benjies! Make sure you call in an order for a selection from our hot dinners, served with potatoes, vegetables, salad,  rolls and butter. Choose from roast brisket of beef with potato pancakes, corned beef and cabbage, roast chicken, roast turkey with stuffing and gravy, meatloaf and gravy and Swiss steak. Make sure you call us BEFORE Thanksgiving though, as these orders usually need 72 hours advance notice. (more…)

Green Bay Packers kick off the season vs. New Orleans Saints!

Yes, it’s that time again—time for the bone-crushing gladiator battle that is NFL football. And Benjies Deli has all the action, thanks to the DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket package. Did you know that we can watch up to eight games on one of the six TVs we’ve got in the Bamboo Lounge? That every game will be in HD? That the Sunday Ticket gives us REDZONE, where every play from within the 20-yard line is highlighted and in HD? We can even get an update on your favorite players and get replays of all the NFL Sunday game highlights during the week! In a word, it’s awesome.

Tonight’s game against the New Orleans Saints at the Green Bay Packers’ Lambeau Field is sure to be a fantastic, action-packed contest with superb entertainment from the likes of Kid Rock and Lady Antebellum. (more…)

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.

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!

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…)
