American Airlines made a wild bet that a hamburger it serves at the airport could be crowned the best in New York City.
The airline went up against more than 30 local restaurants, venues and food companies at the New York City Wine & Food Festival on Friday night at a pier on Manhattan’s West Side, an event American sponsored but never participated in before this year.

Alas, American lost to another underdog: the New York Mets.
Citi Field will serve its winner — ground, dry-aged beef, with stewed onions, house-cured bacon, and a sharp cheddar cheese sauce next spring.
The story didn’t tell me what burger won (Shack, Keith etc)
A spokesperson for the Yankees said they won a lot of burger contests in the 20th century, especially in the early days when there were only 8 burger joints and only white chefs were eligible.
