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…)

Is Your Team Only Available on NFL Sunday Ticket?

Watch the Pittsburgh Steelers at Benjies Deli this Sunday

Now that Hanukkah is over, we can get back to the important things in life. This weekend, there’s another great lineup of bone-crushing NFL football to watch. But unless you’ve got Sunday Ticket, you could miss your favorite team, and that’s no good at all.

So why not get down to Benjies Deli and settle in at the Bamboo Lounge for six screens of awesome, high-definition football with their DirecTV Sunday Ticket lineup? You’ll get to eat all of Benjies’ superb food–and remember, those Jewish favorites like latkes and brisket are still being served, even after Hanukkah‘s over–and take advantage of the Bamboo Lounge’s full bar. It’s nearly impossible to watch football, or any sport for that matter, without beer. Am I right?

The experts are agreed on several predictions on winners this weekend; the San Francisco 49ers, the New York Jets, the New Orleans Saints, the New York Giants, the Baltimore Ravens, the Denver Broncos, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the San Diego Chargers seem to all have unanimous picks for wins by the ESPN experts. If both New York teams win, it will mean a big party in the Big Apple on Sunday night. (more…)

Holiday Parties Catered by Benjies!

Benjies Deli Trays

The holidays are well and truly here! Who else can’t believe it’s Thanksgiving next week? And it’s time to plan those holiday parties for your office or for your family and friends.

Who do you call? Benjies Deli, of course! It’s true—Benjies Deli caters, and has a wide range of deli plates, hors d’oeuvres platters and cold-cut trays that are perfect for feeding party guests.

Are you having a casual get-together with your sports-team buddies or the guys from poker night? 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. (more…)

Hot Sandwiches: Dip or Melt?

Mmmm....French Dip!

The best thing about sandwiches is that there are so many different kinds to choose from. Let’s face it, sandwiches are very personal—just ask anyone. What’s delicious for some (peanut butter-BLT, for instance) may sound disgusting to others. When you were a kid, bologna on white with ketchup or a simple grilled cheese was probably your favorite thing ever, but now you’ve grown up a bit, and your tastes have matured.

And that’s when, sometimes, only a hot sandwich will do. But there’s days when a hot sandwich with a delicious bowl of au jus to dunk it in is the perfect meal, and then others when you want gooey, cheesy goodness melted all over that meat between two crispy pieces of bread.

Luckily, you’re a fan of Benjies Deli. They’ve got four different kinds of their Big Dip Sandwich and four different choices for their Melts (five, really. Because if you ask nicely, they’ll put a Garden™ Burger in a Melt!) (more…)

NBA Kicks off on Tuesday–and we have questions!!

The Lakers' Andrew Bynum

No, not the usual pre-season questions like are the Lakers and the Celtics going to have another battle of the playoffs, or will the Clippers ever string enough wins together to get a sniff at the playoffs. Those are so yesterday! Instead, let’s reserve the Bamboo Lounge at Benjies, load up on corned beef, pastrami and Swiss cheese triple-decker sandwiches and beer to resolve bigger questions that demand answers.

For instance, will all the rubles in Russia make the Nets a winner? We know money can’t buy everything, but rubles? Maybe, just maybe the crazy Ruskie will pull it off—or maybe the Nets will end up playing in the NBA (National Bolshevik Association) in Siberia. They better load up on Benjies’ famous sweet and sour cabbage soup for those long cold nights! (more…)

Deli platters!

In Orange County, it can be hard to find a good venue for a small party. But Benjies Deli has the answer—the Bamboo Lounge can be hired out for parties of up to 40 people. And it’s just in time for….Halloween! What a great place to get your friends together for a costume party on or around Halloween.

With six televisions and a fully stocked bar, the Bamboo Lounge is great for entertainment, and especially for a private party to celebrate the big game. For the 2010 Superbowl, The Bamboo Lounge was packed full of football fans, all booked by one of Benjies Deli’s regulars. But why wait until the Superbowl? Benjies Deli has the NFL Sunday Ticket playing in the Bamboo Lounge all the time. Is your favorite team playing soon? Get the gang together and watch it at Benjies Deli! We’ll bring our delicious, mile-high-stacked sandwiches and ice cold beers right to your table, so you and your friends don’t have to miss a minute of the game.

What everyone loves about Benjies Deli is the food, and you can definitely get everything from the menu over in the Bamboo Lounge. But remember, Benjies Deli also does delicious deli platters and sandwich trays, which are perfect for sporting events or informal parties. The Reuben is a firm favorite with Benjies’ die-hard fans, as is the Benjie’s Special. But why not try the meatball sandwich—a French roll stuffed with meatballs, provolone cheese and topped with rich marinara sauce and served with coleslaw. Not manly enough for you? Try these bellybusters: the BBQ beef or ham sandwich, piled high with thinly sliced beef or ham, smothered in our delicious barbecue sauce all on a French roll; our hot meatloaf sandwich, an open-faced sandwich of thick slabs of meatloaf and mashed potatoes smothered in savory brown gravy.

Feel like hot dogs while you’re watching the game, for that stadium feel? We got Coney Island Hot Dogs, plain or doused in chili and cheese.  Plus we have the best pastrami sandwiches in Orange County. If that wasn’t enough, the chefs are also happy to work with you to put together a menu just for your event.

For more information about the Bamboo Lounge and how to book it for your next party, call owner Lloyd Weinstein on (714) 541-6263. Or you can shoot them a message on Facebook—become a fan of Benjies Deli today, and follow them on Twitter!

Delicious!

This weekend looks like an Indian Summer has arrived, and perfect weather for a football party! Call your friends over for the NFL games on your big screen, but don’t forget to call Benjies Deli to cater the party so you don’t have to lift a finger.

Are your friends ready-made sandwich types, or do they like to build their own creation, Dagwood style? Either way, Benjies has the deli platter for you. Starting with the ready-made—why go to Subway when you can get wonderful sandwiches made in a New York deli, even when you’re in California? Subway can’t touch the superior quality or flavor of our ingredients. (more…)
