Super teams: The teams are set, and now it’s on to New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX (that’s 59, for folks like me). Columnist Jeff Duncan takes a look at the matchup we’ll see a couple of Sundays from now. Our Black & Gold, of course, won’t be marching in this year. But hope springs eternal and the Great Saints Coach Search continues. Rod Walker has this look at the tall task facing whoever gets the job. World Cup of cuisine: Here's another feather for New Orleans’ culinary cap. Ian McNulty reports from France that we’ll again host a semifinal round in a competition known as the “World Cup of cuisine.” RIP, Pableaux Johnson: A well-known journalist and foodie beloved for his work and his communal red beans and rice dinners died Sunday, Blake Paterson writes.
