Ewell Smith, executive director of theLouisiana Seafood Promotion and Marketing Board, was wearing his Louisiana Seafood 01 jersey on Monday at the enormousSuper Bowl 2013 Media Center in the Morial Convention Center. He was standing next to the Louisiana Seafood Tower, which is almost as eye-catching as the nearby Bacchus float from which WWL radio is broadcasting.
But the Bacchus float doesn’t smell nearly as appetizing.
“There will be 5,000 international media here,” Smith said. “There is no better way to showcase Louisiana seafood. Look at this booth. It’s already a magnet. And we haven’t even started.”
