Tried Ben's today on 38th and the two words were plastered all over the menu. They even charged extra if you wanted the two words. I specifically asked that the two words not be used on my brisket sandwich...but they were nevertheless. Won't be comin' back anytime soon. The two words? "Extra Lean" ;( Tue Oct 06 18:53:26 -0700 2009 10173 guttergourmet 1 5085980 Ben's is really, really not a very good restaurant. Ben's Best, however, in Flushing is the very best pastrami in NYC, hands down, no questions asked the best.

Not bad but not the best (though much better than Ben's-no relation). Fri Oct 09 10:18:17 -0700 2009 5085980 10173 guttergourmet
