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.

The Best Place to Watch NFL Sunday Ticket Games in Orange County!

Watch bone-crushing NFL football at Benjies!

Calling all football fans! Benjies Deli has the NFL Sunday Ticket DirecTV service, so you can see all of the games you want to watch. We turn on all six screens in the Bamboo Lounge, so there’s more than one game to watch at a time.

Why come to Benjies Deli to watch the game instead of staying at home? Do you really have to ask that question? First of all, we have cold beer on draft and a full bar in the Bamboo Lounge—we bring the drinks to you and don’t sulk about it. There will be a cold beer at your side the entire length of the game.

Secondly, we’ve got all the delicious, football-game snacks you could ask for! Looking for just something to munch on? Try our delicious seasoned curly fries or our generously full basket of thick-cut onion rings. Need something a little more spicy? Order our chili-cheese fries, smothered in our delicious chili con carne and topped with gooey, melted cheese, or our jalapeño poppers stuffed with cream cheese, breaded and deep fried until they’re nice and crispy.And don’t forget our famous Buffalo hot wings, served with celery sticks and creamy ranch dressing. We think it’s only proper to eat your Buffalo wings as you cheer on the Buffalo Bills as they play against the New York Jets—the game starts at 10AM Sunday (that’s 1PM EST).

Feeling a little more refined? We have calamari rings or mozzarella sticks served with marinara sauce; chicken tenders with ranch dressing or barbecue sauce; and three Kobe beef sliders with potato chips on the side.

But what about those of us with a real appetite, you ask? Oh, don’t you worry. Benjies has you covered. Are you man (or woman) enough to try one of our monster Triple-Decker Sandwiches? There’s six to choose from, all served with our famous Russian dressing: the #1, turkey, ham and Swiss; the #2, corned beef, salami ans Swiss; the #3, corned beef, pastrami and salami; the #4, a delicious, classic Club Sandwich; the #5, our most popular—corned beef, pastrami and Swiss; and finally, the #6, corned beef, turkey and tongue. All of the Triple-Decker Sandwiches are served on your choice of bread or roll and with your choice of coleslaw, potato salad, macaroni salad, fresh fruit or French fries.

If that’s not big enough for you, we’ve got a hot meatloaf sandwich or the open-face hot brisket of beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy. That’s some rib-sticking goodness! Missing the stadium catering? Don’t worry, we’ve got Coney Island hot dogs, Coney Island chili dogs and the awesome Francheesy dog: a grilled knackwurst, crisp bacon and American cheese on a grilled onion roll.

There’s 13 games on Sunday to watch, so you’ll need some serious refreshments. And no one does it better than Benjies Deli! Come on down to 1828 N. Tustin Avenue, Santa Ana, CA 92705 and head on in to the Bamboo Lounge for football fever.

The 2010 NFL Season Starts Tomorrow!!

Calling all NFL fans: oh yes, the season is about to start. 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.

Tomorrow night kicks off with the New Orleans Saints vs. the Minnesota Vikings, down in the bayou. Although the Vikings have convinced Brett Favre to squeeze another season in, we’re not sure if it’s going to help them much. Between LeFavre’s ankle and Sidney Rice out on an injury, plus New Orleans being ticked off about not being hailed as candidates for the last SuperBowl, predictions are that New Orleans will win by as much as 10 points or more.

Watch Lakers Playoff Games at Benjies Deli and the Bamboo Lounge

The Lakers are 1-0 in the final series of the playoffs and it’s looking good. They’ve finally got in a groove on defense. But probably the most comforting aspect of the game for me was that Doc River’s strategy was to stop Kobe. Not only did the Celtics fail at stopping Kobe—for the most part—but Kobe was only part of their problem. Kobe and Gasol, the gruesome twosome, had a combined 53 points in the game and kept linking up. The entire Lakers triangle offense kept the entire team scoring well. The Celtics brought their own renowned defense to the game along with intensity, but it wasn’t anywhere near enough. The next game should be closer in scoring, considering the Celtics will be more reluctant to allow their big three to get into foul trouble early.

We still have our work cut out for us if we want to pull this series off, but we’re off to an optimistic start. That being said, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t dress up head to toe in gold and purple for Sunday’s game and come to Benjies Deli to be with your friends. Enjoy some of their new Kobe Beef Sliders and watch the Celtics fail at stopping one of Kobe’s runs. (more…)
