Rest – Check, Fluids – Check, Ben’s Chicken in a Pot – Check!

Dr. Harvey Passes Prescribes Ben’s Kosher Deli’s Famous Soup to all Oral Surgery Patients

[Great Neck, New York] – Anyone who has experienced oral surgery – be it wisdom tooth removal or a root canal – can recall the post-operative pain they’ve endured. For patients of Passes Dental Care in Great Neck, New York, the prescription for recovery includes Ben’s Chicken in a Pot, from Ben’s Kosher Deli. The practice has been serving up this solution for more than 15 years after its Owner and Chief Dentist Harvey Passes had a serendipitous week that included a passed out post-op patient and dinner with his family at Ben’s in Wheatley Plaza.

The story begins with Dr. Passes visiting the restaurant. He had selected Ben’s Chicken in a Pot as his entrée for the evening, a choice that was “tasty and plentiful enough to take home for another meal the next day.” This famous Ben’s dish has been described by food critics as “an epic mélange” of half a fall-off-the-bone chicken with one matzo ball, kreplach, noodles, peas and carrots.

Later that same week, Dr. Passes performed a tooth extraction on a patient. Though she was nurse, and therefore a medical professional herself, he provided her with the same instructions as every other patient – plenty of food and fluids in order to avoid dehydration, brought on from the rapid bloodloss during surgery and the need to urinate post-operatively.

Unfortunately, this patient did not heed his warning. When Dr. Passes called the nurse later that evening to inquire about her condition – as he does with every patient – he learned that she’d passed out from dehydration and EMTs were in her home, tending to her. This resulted in a hospital trip and an IV drip to increase her fluid levels. “The problem with oral surgery is that people lose their appetite and just want to sleep,” explains Dr. Passes.

Dr. Passes quickly thought of his Ben’s Chicken in a Pot meal. “I thought that the entrée so very tasty, filling  and soft enough to be easily consumed by oral surgery patients that it might just hit the spot,” he continues. “And I was right. Somehow, it activates taste buds and stimulates people’s desire to eat.”

So, for more than 15 years now, “I have been advising my oral surgery patients to consume it in order for them to avoid dehydration and fever. I’ve been told that the deli counter people are very impressed when my patients present their prescriptions for Chicken in a Pot. The Ben’s employees are all very accommodating and tell my patients to ‘please take a seat,’ that they will bring them the order and subsequently ask ‘can we do anything for you?’ My patients still talk about their prescrptions even years after their procedures.”

Ben’s of Scarsdale Celebrates its First Birthday

Successful Launch also Provides Lessons for Expansion of Traditional Deli with a Modern Twist

[Scarsdale, New York] – Regardless of whether you’ve been in the business for decades or are just starting out, opening a new restaurant can be a challenge. One that requires ample training, finessing new computer systems and professionals who are already trained to handle daily operations. This is a lesson well-learned for the Ben’s Restaurant Group, which first opened its Scarsdale location with a brand-new staff and quickly discovered that Ben’s Kosher Deli’s unique brand of dining requires leadership from experienced staff.

With computer problems in the rearview mirror and management brought in from other Ben’s locations, Ben’s of Scarsdale is providing the high-quality Ben’s experience that customers have come to know and love over the past 43 years. As one of only two Ben’s with a full bar, the Scarsdale restaurant is poised to become the company’s premier location.

Since taking over as General Manager of the Scarsdale location last spring, Oscar Molina has been busy applying what he learned from his previous General Manager positions at Ben’s Manhattan and Bayside locations, to the new Scarsdale operation. “What we do can’t be taught in a training program or on the first day of the job,” he explains. “High standards of customer service and quality, and fresh food, have always been our hallmarks. My goal is to show the people of Westchester all that is great about Ben’s Kosher Deli.”

To achieve this, Mr. Molina knew that he would need the perfect team alongside him. For the kitchen, Ben’s Founder-Owner Ronnie Dragoon convinced Chef Atilio Cyalis to move to New York from Boca Raton, Florida, where he’d helped open and operate Ben’s largest location. Chef Cyalis also brought several other Ben’s veterans on board, strengthening the kitchen both in the food preparation area and on the cook line. With things running more smoothly, the Chef is starting to allow his creativity and passion for food to flourish with some signature desserts, a broad array of homemade soups and dinner specials that are unique to Scarsdale. At the deli counter, Mr. Molina has assembled an enthusiastic and friendly team for takeout and delivery customers.

“We’re doing really well compared to where we were last spring,” he notes. “Our guest feedback has dramatically improved, but our team in Scarsdale is not going to rest until we have the reputation of the crown jewel among all Ben’s stores.”

The 90-guest party room located upstairs is what Mr. Molina considers to be his secret weapon as it comes complete with full audiovisual capabilities, an area for dancing and a balcony that offers the flexibility to accommodate any party, meeting or event. Chef Cyalis is also excited about this space as it offers him the prospect of working with individuals, organizations and companies on customized menus for events.

Throughout its 43-year history, Ben’s has forged lasting connections with customers. Perhaps, this is due to the personality of Mr. Dragoon, who always goes out of his way to take care of guests. Or perhaps it is Ben’s dedication to preserving the eastern European Jewish heritage. Or maybe it’s the home-cooking that reminds many of the foods eaten and times enjoyed in years gone by. It’s probably a combination of all three.

You can always rest assured that Ben’s staff wants you to enjoy your food and your visit. They will go out of the way to make sure that guests are happy. It is as though you were visiting with them at home. Ben’s relishes turning demanding customers into lifelong guests. The other thing: it is unlikely that you will leave hungry. Like your Jewish Grandma, there’s no skimping on portions. Nothing ridiculous, but filling for sure.

One thing’s for sure: Ben’s of Scarsdale has turned the corner and is poised to join its Ben’s brethren as a premier restaurant, delicatessen and caterer, with a decidedly modern twist, for those who remember Jewish delis on every corner.

In celebration of Scarsdale’s “First Birthday,” Ben’s is offering combos priced at $20.16 and $1 specials on individual menu items from mid-January to March 31. These Scarsdale-only specials include everything from apps and sides to entrées and drinks. There will also be featured pricing on bar items every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 3 to 6 p.m.

For information regarding daily specials, follow Ben’s of Scarsdale on Facebook, or visit bensdeli.net.

Ben’s Picks a Peck of Pickles in Honor of National Pickle Day

[Greenvale, New York] — Move over Peter Piper, no one knows pickles like Ben’s Kosher Delicatessen Restaurant & Caterers! In honor of National Pickle Day on Saturday, November 14, Ben’s is giving away one free pickle, sour or half sour, to any guest who visits a Ben’s restaurant location that day.

As with all of its other kosher traditions, Ben’s Kosher Deli follows the longstanding Jewish deli practice of giving out pickles free of charge along with their entrées and sandwiches throughout the year. “Pickles are a timeless delicacy and essential to the genuine deli experience,” says Ronnie Dragoon, Founder/Owner of Ben’s Kosher Delicatessen. “A good pickle complements a great sandwich, which work hand-in-hand to make one great-tasting dish.”

Although the origins of National Pickle Day cannot be traced, it was first celebrated in Ben’s hometown of New York City in 2001. The name “pickle” comes from the Dutch word pekel, meaning “to brine,” but the pickle itself can be traced back to 2030 B.C. At that time, cucumbers were preserved in vinegar before being exported from India to the Tigris Valley, where they were then eaten.

Many historical figures found a variety of benefits to consuming pickles; such as Cleopatra, Julius Caesar and Napoleon Bonaparte. The Queen of the Nile subsisted on a full diet of pickles, which she believed attributed to her good looks, while the other leaders fed pickles to their troops, believing it would provide the strength they needed to go into battle.

Pickles became popular in the United States when the first Jewish immigrants came to New York from Eastern Europe. Jewish delis in the city used the pickle as a palate cleanser that would prep their taste buds to savor the unique combinations of meat. The pickle’s acidity allows for people to enjoy a sharp difference in flavor and therefore brings a deeper appreciation of the taste of the sandwich.

The best ingredients are used at Ben’s for its pickling and fermenting process. “Our pickles are graded to ensure that the sizing is consistent,” adds Mr. Dragoon. “The sour pickles are true sours, which means they have been pickling and fermenting for many months, unlike quick-cure or pasteurized pickles, which lack the true and authentic taste of pickles from the ‘Old Country.’”

Pickles are also considered to be a healthy snack; they are low in calories and rich in Vitamin K. “We have had guests come to the deli counter and place an order just for pickles, especially pregnant women,” Mr. Dragoon said. “However, some people just love to snack on a pickle; they have no sugar and very few calories.”

Ben’s Kosher Delicatessen and Caterers Hosts “Deli Man” Movie Night Fundraiser

(Glen Cove, New York) – Ben’s Kosher Delicatessen and Caterers is holding a special showing of Deli Man, a funny and heartwarming film about the history of the American kosher deli, at 2 p.m. on Sunday, October 25. The screening is being held at the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County (HMTC), located at 100 Crescent Beach Road, Glen Cove, New York, to which the proceeds from the event will be presented.

Admission is $18 per person in advance, by contacting Cohen Media, and $20 per person at the door. All monies raised benefit HMTC’s support of Holocaust education outreach to schools and communities through Generation to Generation (2Gs). This organization, which is affiliated with Israel’s Yad Vashem museum — the first institution dedicated to the memory of the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust, conducted some of the first oral histories of Holocaust survivors and is instrumental in educational outreach in the greater Long Island area.

Deli Man follows an American Jewish community through the steps of immigration, assimilation and upward mobility for immigrants in the United States. Including commentary from delicatessen connoisseurs and comedy greats Jerry Stiller, Philip “Fyvush” Finkel, Alan Dershowitz, Freddie Klein, Dennis Howard and Larry King, the story of Deli Man is full of humor and charm. The film also holds a special meaning to the Ben’s Deli family as it features their very own Ronnie Dragoon, founder and owner of the restaurant chain.

Following the screening, Mr. Dragoon and Erik Greenberg Anjou, producer and director of the film, will host a question and answer session that focuses on the traditions of the Jewish-American deli. Mr. Anjou will also discuss what went into the making of the film, which is the is the third installment his trilogy on Jewish culture, the preceding films being A Cantor’s Tale and The Klezmatics – On Holy Ground.

Ben’s Deli Presents its Annual “Olde Time New York Deli Experience”

(Greenvale, NewYork) — Ben’s Kosher Delicatessen Restaurant & Caterers is hosting its 12th Annual Charitable Fundraiser “The Olde Time New York Deli Experience.” The event, which supports The Interfaith Nutrition Network (INN), is taking place on Monday, October 5 at 6 p.m. at Ben’s of Greenvale in Wheatley Plaza.

Founded in 1983 as a means of serving Long Island’s homeless and hungry, The INN has provided over 11 million meals to those in need. The group’s mission is simple: “Neighbors helping neighbors,” a sentiment that Ben’s Deli owner and founder Ronnie Dragoon echoes. As with previous years, Mr. Dragoon, an INN board member, will once again serve as the official pastrami slicer at the event.

Mr. Dragoon’s co-board member Rob Kammerer, a physics professor at Vaughn College, is a major helper for this year’s fundraiser, which will honor journalist Lawrence Levy, executive dean and head of suburban studies at Hofstra University. Mr. Levy’s 35-year career in journalism has included coverage of six presidential campaigns. A former Newsday contributing writer and editor, Mr. Levy also has experience reporting on major local events.

“Lawrence is a big player in journalism and he’s always given a voice to minorities on Long Island,” says Mr. Dragoon. “This year, we’re recognizing his dedication to the members of the Jewish community, among others.”

Ben’s Kosher Deli, a long-time supporter of The INN, will donate 100 percent of all proceeds from the event to provide food and shelter to Long Islanders in need. For further information on this event, call or text Rob Kammerer at 516-732-6009.
