When the LA Kings beat the NY Rangers for the Stanley Cup, NY Police Commissioner Bill Bratton lost a bet with LA Police Chief Charlie Beck
Bratton owes Beck a lunch at Katz’s Deli in New York City. There’s nothing like a real Jewish delicatessen. Beck is sure to enjoy his corned beef or pastrami sandwich.
I’m glad Beck won the bet because I was pulling for the Kings.
HOLD THE MUSTARD! BRATTON LOSES STANLEY CUP FINALS BET WITH LAPD CHIEF CHARLIE BECK

There's a trip to Katz's Deli in Police Commissioner Bill Bratton's future -- but he won't be happy about it.
The NYPD's top cop promised to treat LAPD Police Chief Charlie Beck to lunch at Katz's if the Rangers lost to the LA Kings during the Stanley Cup Finals.
With the Kings' nail-biting 3-2 overtime victory on Friday, Bratton will have to live up to the gentleman's bet that now comes with a side of mustard.
The bet was made before the Stanley Cup Finals kicked off. If the Rangers were victorious, Beck would have treated Bratton to lunch at Langers, a pastrami mainstay in the city of angels.
Of course, the cross-country agreement was amped up on Twitter.
"Looking forward to@commissBratton buying lunch at Katz's Deli in New York when #Kings beat #Rangers in #StanleyCupFinal. #GoKingsGo!" Beck wrote.
Bratton quickly fired back, writing, "@Lapdchiefbeck Glad you like pastrami at Langers in LA. That way you won't mind losing as much. Place my corned beef order now, please."
Bratton was LAPD chief from 2002 to 2009.
