Come celebrate your graduation with Benjies Deli!

All throughout the country, schools are shutting their doors in anticipation of the summer holiday and semesters are ending, leaving the graduating class to close a chapter of their lives. Benjies Deli would like to take a moment to congratulate the class of 2011 for having come this far and accomplishing their goals and overcoming whatever obstacles they had to get where they are today.  From high school students moving onto their collegiate career, undergraduate students who are now preparing to face the “real world”, to even older people who returned to school from a hiatus in between: congratulations from Benjies Deli!

All of that hard work cannot go unrecognized.  Of course, a celebratory meal is in order, so why not join Benjies Deli for a bite of our delicious, world-famous Reuben—corned beef, swiss cheese and sauerkraut grilled on rye bread and served with a heaping side of potato salad—to toast to your accomplishments?  Bring your family and friends, too– Benjies Deli has plenty of seating to accommodate large groups.  Our menu has a wide-selection of delicious deli classics and entrees that is sure to please just about anyone.

Benjies Deli also offers delicious catering, so you can celebrate your graduation at home.  It’s your time to celebrate; order from our selection of party-friendly platters (like our crowd-hit sandwich platter, made up of assorted sandwiches crafted from your choice of meats and cheese or egg, chicken or tuna salads) or choice of delicious, piping-hot dinner entrees, sit back and let Benjies Deli take care of all the food for you while you relish in your achievements.

What a season it has been for the NBA Playoffs! Even though our favorite team, the LA Lakers, has been out, Benjies Deli is still enjoying watching the finals as two of the best teams, the Heat and the Mavericks, go head to head for the title of championship. It’s been a spectacular series, with the Heat currently leading the scoreboard at 2-1, but the Mavericks still look like they’ve got a lot of game to give the Heat a run for their money. The Mavericks have fought back with great defense, limiting the almost-unstoppable LeBron James and slowing down even MVP Dwayne Wade. We think we’ve still got a couple more games of high competition and extraordinary team execution.

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.
