FUELED Wellness + Nutrition | Eat Fit at Hogs for the Cause!

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Chef Lisa Marie Frantz has once again teamed up with team Pig Latin for this year’s Hogs for the Cause, a two-day event filled with amazing food and music, with the mission of supporting families fighting pediatric brain cancer.

On this year’s Eat Fit menu:  Apple Kimchi with (optional) Cracklin Crunch – stop by the Pig Latin booth to try it out and support the cause!

Details:

• Friday, April 4 and Saturday, April 5, 2025, at UNO Lakefront Arena Grounds
• Multiple stages, lots of bands, hours of music!
• Tickets start at $50 per day, purchase tickets here.

Pig Latin is a team founded by Ochsner doctors, many of whom actually care for pediatric patients with brain cancer, so this cause is near and dear. The Pig Latin team is going into its 16th year with Hogs for the Cause and also has had the distinction of offering one of the only Eat Fit approved dishes at Hogs each year.  

This year’s Apple Kimchi (sans the cracklin) has just 45 calories, 9 grams carbs, 1.5 grams fiber and less than 1 gram added sugar

With Ochsner Hospital for Children’s sponsorship, Pig Latin has been in the top tier of fundraising in the past few years. Stop by the Pig Latin tent to see the team in action and support an amazing cause. And when you purchase your tickets to the festival, click on “Pig Latin” in the drop down box to give their team credit for your purchase.
