Hungry Pelicans: The Pelicans enjoyed a huge win Wednesday night, beating the Grizzlies at the Smoothie King Center as they continue their end-of-season playoffs push. But maybe the more interesting news is what the players like to eat. Which is? Well, read Christian Clark’s story for the culinary details. Speaking of food, our dining guru Ian McNulty uses Lent – Louisiana’s “unofficial seafood season” – as a jumping off point to show us some of the interesting things local chefs are doing with the local catch. Bon appetit! For even more food and drink coverage, please sign up for our Where NOLA Eats newsletter. Hard Knock(s) life: Sticking with sports, our fave football team could be featued on the "Hard Knocks" show this season. The Saints are one of four teams under consideration for this summer's edition of the long-running HBO series that follows one team through training camp each season. Jefferson school shuffle: There was some big school news breaking late Wednesday night. As expected, the School Board in Jefferson Parish voted on a massive overhaul plan that will send several thousand students to different schools in August. Our Blake Paterson was there. Setting the hook: As police try to get a handle on the stolen vehicle scourge, “bait” cars could soon reappear on city streets. The bait cars are just that – models that are highly sought after by thieves, Missy Wilkinson reports. (Some good news in Missy’s story? While vehicle thefts are up, violent crime in the city is currently trending down.) Thanks for reading Lunch Line. If you're not a NOLA.com subscriber, check out this great deal. Bob |
