On September 25, Ronnie Dragoon, Founder-Owner, Ben’s Kosher Delicatessen Restaurant & Caterers, presented a check to Jean Kelly, Executive Director/CEO, and Rob Kammerer, Board Member, The INN (Interfaith Nutrition Network), in the amount of $2,400 at the Mary Brennan INN soup kitchen in Hempstead.

The money was raised from a promotion during National Deli Month. From August 1-31, Ben’s offered its customers a prix fixe menu special, with a portion of the sales proceeds going to benefit the Mary Brennan INN.

The INN is a not-for-profit, volunteer-based organization that provides a broad variety of essential services to assist those facing hunger, homelessness and extreme poverty. Ben’s has a special connection to The INN as Ben’s Founder-Owner, Ronnie Dragoon, has been a member of its Board of Directors for almost 20 years.

“We are proud to be longtime supporters of The INN,” Mr. Dragoon said. “We want to recognize the organization’s work that they do in helping the less fortunate who seek to become self-sufficient.”

“We wish to thank Ben’s for its generous donation,” Ms. Kelly said. “We also want to give thanks to the Ben’s customers who patronized the restaurant during National Deli Month. By ordering from the prix fixe menu, they helped raise money for our organization which will be used to help those in need on Long Island.”

In celebration of National Delicatessen Month, Ben’s Kosher Delicatessen Restaurant & Caterers will offer a two-course, prix fixe menu with traditional Jewish fare during the month of August. The Deli Lover’s Favorite special will feature Matzoh Ball Soup, Hot Open Pastrami and Corned Beef Combo, served with stuffed derma (kishke) and fresh-cut French fries. Accompanied by our fresh-cut Cole Slaw and Barrel Cured Pickles, all for the low price of $25.99! Extra-lean meats are available for an additional $1.00.
Delicatessen owners across the country have banded together to create National Delicatessen Month to celebrate the importance of delicatessens to the Jewish community, as well as raise awareness of the fact that they are rapidly disappearing. For the entire month of August, delicatessens are encouraged to create three-course, prix fixe menus that showcase some of their beloved traditional deli dishes. A portion of each of these meals sold will go towards a charity of the delicatessen’s choice.
For this special occasion, Ben’s has chosen to donate 15% of the proceeds from their prix fixe menu to the Interfaith Nutrition Network (the “INN”), a not-for-profit, volunteer-based organization that provides a broad variety of essential services to assist those facing hunger, homelessness and extreme poverty.

Ben’s Serves up Thanksgiving Feast without the Holiday Headache

It’s that time of year again: Ben’s Kosher Delicatessen Restaurant & Caterers is bringing back its Thanksgiving Feast Special, and it’s everything you could need, and more. Avoid getting wrapped up in the holiday hassle. Sit back and relax while the Turkey is cooking. Let Ben’s bring its Thanksgiving dinner to your home, or better yet, visit any of Ben’s seven dining room locations for a casual and comfortable turkey celebration.

With the company’s “Dine Out at Ben’s” option, patrons can completely relax and let Ben’s provide the ultimate “holiday without the headache” experience. On Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 22, seatings are available for 1:00, 2:30, and 5:00 p.m. in all locations (7:15 p.m. seating is available at Woodbury, Carle Place, Greenvale, Bayside, and Boca Raton). Thanksgiving Day patrons will be treated to Ben’s delicious “Roast Turkey Dinner,” a prix fixe ($26.99) meal complete with stuffing and gravy and a choice of two sides, as well as bottomless soft drinks and a choice of homemade soup. A prix fixe ($9.99) “Children’s Turkey Feast,” which includes turkey, stuffing, a choice of two sides, dessert and fountain beverage, is available for children ages 12 and under. Large parties are welcome, though reservations are encouraged to guarantee seating. To ensure there is a little something for everyone, some locations will also be showing the football games, and drinks and desserts can be purchased at an additional cost.

For those hoping to host the party but prefer not to cook, there is also the “Ben’s Thanksgiving Feast” catering option (for a price of $249.90) which includes one whole roasted turkey (15-pound average), Ben’s homemade stuffing and gravy, and a choice of two select sides. All feasts also include one quart each of cranberry-pineapple compote and fresh-cut cole slaw, along with an assorted relish tray.

As a bonus, all Ben’s Friends Rewards members who order a catered feast ordered by Monday, November 19 will receive two bonus BUY-1-GET-1-FREE meal coupons (up to $50 value).

“Our guests are our family and there’s no other way we’d spend the holidays than by accommodating our guests for whom we are thankful,” says Ben’s Owner and Founder, Ronnie Dragoon. “We want them to be able to focus on spending time with their loved ones, rather than how much longer the turkey should be kept in the oven.”

For those simply looking to complement their Thanksgiving Feast, whether it’s all from Ben’s or primarily crafted at home — or are hoping to bring a dish as a guest — Ben’s also offers a variety of appetizers, sides, and desserts. Phone-in orders are welcome and Ben’s takeout counter is open all day on Thanksgiving for any last-minute needs, be it a quart of gravy or an extra tray of stuffing, among other items.
