Eat Fit Dine Out Day returns to Baton Rouge Friday
The annual event to support healthy eating in Baton Rouge, Eat Fit Dine Out, returns this Friday, Aug. 7, at nearly 30 participating local restaurants. While in previous years, the participating restaurants donated a portion of sales to the Eat Fit BR project, all proceeds are staying with the restaurants this year.
“As restaurants reopen at limited capacities across the state and move into a period of hope and healing, our Eat Fit team is here to support the recovery efforts of our Eat Fit partners,” Molly Kimball, Ochsner Eat Fit founder, said in a press release. “Over the years they’ve nourished our community with their Eat Fit dishes, and now it’s our turn to help nourish them.”
The project promotes nutrition education, community cooking classes and more, and is an Ochsner Health initiative, supported by Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation of Louisiana in collaboration with Healthy BR.
A full list of the participating local restaurants is available here.
