For those of you living in a pasta-poor home — like the one our reader, Jim, grew up in — here’s an all-you-can-eat pasta night.
And if these are not the prices you would normally expect to pay for pasta, just remember that Benny’s Gourmet Pizza serves up Kosher food and you won’t have to travel to Midwood.
Your choice is to stay home and follow the recipe for Rich Pasta for the Poor Kitchen. But if you’re a “rotten cook” — also like Jim’s mom who had some difficulties in the kitchen — you can make your way over with an empty stomach to Benny’s, singing, “Pizza, Pasta, Salads & Wraps, Hoorah!”
Benny’s Gourmet
1730 Jerome Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11235
(corner of East 18th Street; between Ave Z & Voorhies Ave)
Tel: (347) 673-7340









Well, it’s more like I got my finger on the pulse of a wallet that’s on its last heartbeat.
Yes, if you like whole wheat pizza, they have them there for a buck extra per pie. The whole wheat slice with veggies will cost the same as a regular veggie slice. Best part is this place uses real mushrooms.

Well, it’s a little off the beaten path for me but the word “gourmet” always catches my eye. Any chance they have whole wheat pasta? That’d be worth the drive from just about anywhere. Thanx for the tip. I’m glad someone’s got their finger on the pulse of Brooklyn cuisine.
