Landrieu Pays Off Bet On Saints’ Game

New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu has settled up with Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn.  They had a bet on last weekend's playoff game between the Saints and the Seahawks. Seattle won the wild card game 41-36 to advance to a Sunday matchup against Chicago. A Tuesday news release said Landrieu sent 10 pounds of shrimp, a gallon of oysters, a gallon of crawfish etouffee, a gallon of chicken and sausage gumbo and a "fleur de lis" king cake to McGinn.  Added in was a selection of Louisiana music, including the soundtrack from the HBO series "Treme."  It was all topped off with a package of Mardi Gras beads in the Saints colors of black and gold, and other things commemorating New Orleans' Super Bowl victory last year.
