Ah, there's nothing like the having a local team in a championship game. That's when the mayor breaks out the big guns and bets items of food against the mayor of an opposing team's city. Mayor Bloomberg announced a friendly wager today with Green Bay Mayor James Schmitt, as the Giants and the Packers face off Sunday in the NFC Championship game.
Some more specifics on the bet, via City Room:
Bloomberg/New York wagers: One 10 lbs NY-style cheesecake from the Carnegie Deli, a case of Brooklyn Lager from Brooklyn Brewery, 20 lbs of porterhouse steak from Peter Luger plus 6 bottles of their steak sauce.
Schmitt/Green Bay wagers: 17 cheese spreads (10 lbs) from United States Specialty Cheese, 20 16oz aged natural strip steaks from Smithfield Beef, 3 lbs of chocolate from Beerntsen's Candies, and a pair of cheese-wedge sunglasses from Cheese Shades
