Happy Thursday, friends. It's a Saints game night, so Go Saints! Now, let's dive in to some news.
Cool Brees: It’s been a very Drew Brees-y week. The Saints fan fave was at a Metairie pickleball place yesterday (he’s one of the owners) and will be in the Dome tonight to receive a special honor during the Saints-Broncos game, Jeff Duncan writes. (And of course you can find lots more Saints coverage on NOLA.com.)
Hard Rock suit: Lawyers for hundreds of people impacted by the Hard Rock hotel collapse have asked a judge to set a trial date on their damage claims. This comes after settlement talks have bogged down, Stephanie Riegel reports.
Home generator concerns: Across the state, more homeowners are turning to natural gas-powered, whole-home generators to cope with hurricanes and other calamities that knock the power out. But the widespread use of those generators is now prompting concerns, David Mitchell reports.
Talking with the DA: Columnists Stephanie Grace and Will Sutton chatted up Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams recently. Here are the highlights of their wide-ranging interview.
Celebrities among us: When celebrity chefs comes to a food town like New Orleans, where do they eat? Chelsea Shannon checked out the social media feeds (get it?) to track Gordon Ramsey's local restaurant tour.
