NYPD Commissioner Bratton Honors his Stanley Cup Finals Bet with LAPD Chief Beck

NYPD Commissioner William Bratton honors his Stanley Cup Finals bet with LAPD Chief Charlie Beck! Congratulations to all, especially the 2014 Stanley Cup Champion Los Angeles Kings! Go Kings Go!

On Saturday morning, Bratton signaled his intent to honor the bet. He tweeted a photo of Katz’s Deli in New York and tagged Beck’s Twitter account.

“Do you take your pastrami sandwich with or without mustard? Congrats!” Bratton tweeted.

Beck’s response, after telling Bratton he was looking forward to having lunch again soon, was to tweet a picture of L.A.’s most-revered pastrami sandwich, the Number 19 at Langer’s Deli.

The sandwich – tender, hand-sliced pastrami, cool Russian dressing, crisp cole slaw and Swiss cheese between two slices of pillow-soft, crunchy-crusted twice-baked rye bread – is a favorite of the Los Angeles Police Department.
