Johnson’s House: Now that Congress is back to, uh, work, what’s next for new House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana? Our Washington correspondent Mark Ballard takes a look at Johnson’s history — particularly reducing access to abortions — and how that might play in his new leadership role. Advising the new governor: Jeff Landry will have 14 committees advising him on issues ranging from crime to coastal restoration as he begins his transition into the governor’s office. James Finn has this look at what it might mean for New Orleans. Trademarking Cajun: Can you trademark a surname? A popular, Cajun name? And why are two companies from Texas going to court over it? Adam Daigle, our Acadiana business editor, has the story. Eating with the Saints: A visit to Impastato’s Restaurant in Metairie is much more than just a delicious meal. Owner-chef Joe Impastato is a die-hard fan, which makes a walk through his Creole-Italian eatery like a walk through Black and Gold history. Thanks for reading Lunch Line.
