Good afternoon, friends. Hot enough for ya? (Don't you hate when people say that?) Here's some of the headlines we've been working on at NOLA.com. Joe Biden asked for what?!!? Like a lot of folks after a long workday, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden took a pass on cooking Tuesday evening and, instead, had the motorcade swing by Drago’s in Metairie on their way to the airport. Staff writers Tyler Bridges and Chelsea Shannon got the lowdown on what they ordered. Of course, the Bidens weren’t in town just to eat great food. Here’s what Tyler wrote about the rest of their visit. Legal clash: Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill and Orleans Parish District Attorney Jason Williams are two of the central players in a clash over “post-conviction” sentence reductions. John Simerman has the details. Hipster pool culture: A New Orleans hotel that has built a “hipster pool culture” reputation in recent years has a new owner. The Drifter Hotel has been sold to an investment group that plans an expansion into the city, and business writer Tony McAuley tells us what it could mean. Moses and Mack the Quack: What do Moses, Mack the Quack and the Pope have in common? Columnist Jeff Duncan tells us in the latest installment of his “25 for 25” series. Like the Lunch Line?
