Looking at the Mr. Broadway menu, calling it a delicatessen is a big stretch. Real delis don't serve tacos or edamame. I honestly wonder how long they will last in this form.

There are so, so many better places than Ben's or whatever it's called now. The food there is fine. It's the same quality as a kosher delicatessen in Florida or Iowa. The brand of Ben's Deli also rides on the coattails of my favorite delicatessen, Ben's Best, which opened several decades earlier in central Queens. Nobody likes a copycat.

I also get to make the final decision
