Cochon King BBQ is joining the Trail of Barbecue — Hogs for the Cause’s growing network of restaurants across the country lending their kitchens, their fans, and their platforms to the fight against pediatric brain cancer.
A family-run joint on Franklin Avenue in Gentilly, Cochon King smokes Texas-style barbecue where prime brisket is king — and they’re the only BBQ spot in New Orleans cooking whole hogs. Brisket bombs, pepper jack mac, and weekly specials like beef ribs and burnt ends: world-class barbecue, right in Hogs’ backyard.
The Round-Up for the Cause
Starting now, every guest at Cochon King BBQ can round up their bill to support Hogs for the Cause. Every cent goes directly to families battling pediatric brain cancer.

💖 Fuel the fight against pediatric brain cancer
It’s the easiest way to turn a great BBQ run into a meaningful one.
2026 was our first year participating in Hogs for the Cause with our own team, and we’re incredibly proud to be part of such an amazing BBQ community. It was an honor to join so many talented teams in supporting families affected by pediatric brain cancer. We’re grateful for the opportunity to give back, help raise money for the kids, and be part of a cause that brings people together for something bigger than barbecue!
