Norm Langer appeared this morning on KTLA 5 Morning News, discussing the now-legendary gentleman’s bet between LAPD Chief Charlie Beck and NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton over the Stanley Cup Finals. He brought in food for the entire crew (including hosts Frank Buckley and Jessica Holmes) and we gave away 10 $100 Langer’s Gift Certificates by texting “Langers” to 515151(or enter at ktla.com/contests). Our sincere thanks to everyone at KTLA for hosting Norm so graciously.

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.
