Late-night dining: Where to find healthy food? Try Buffa's. Yes, really

When we think of late-night dining, the first thing that comes to mind might be a cheeseburger and fries at a diner. Not exactly conducive to a good health or a good night’s sleep.

So, we’ve rounded-up 11 late-night spots and a food truck – that serve Eat Fit-approved dishes that you can enjoy late into the evening.

The team at Ochsner Eat Fit, which I helped to found in 2013, has worked with New Orleans restaurants to develop and identify menu items that meet specific nutritional criteria, including being low in sodium, animal-based fats with no trans fats, sugar and other white refined starches, such as bread and pasta.

The suggestions below feature gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, and/or low carb dishes to consider. Full nutrition facts can be found on the free, interactive Eat Fit smartphone app, which maps locations, features Eat Fit partners, recipes and shopping lists.

We researched this topic this week to help the hundreds of bartenders and spirits folks coming to town for Tales of the Cocktail, which runs from July 17 to 22, offering spirited dinners, educational seminars as well as cocktail-centric events that last into the wee hours.

It’s a good guide for rest of us who live here all year long.
