Bred is an indulgence, with lots of frying going on for a place specializing in smoked burgers. Downing a side of macaroni and cheese with the Cousin Stizz Fries (which pack in spicy sweet chili and buttermilk fried chicken) will leave you woozily contented. But the New Orleans-themed restaurant has a six-beignet dessert that’s hard to ignore no matter how much you think you might regret the additional extravagance. This deep-fried dough is cut into rectangles like plus-size nigiri sushi, their only similarity to the purity of fish and rice. They come powdered with sugar or glazed, and with Nutella or honey for another dollar. I had mine sugared, but by the time they reached me the sugar had essentially formed a glaze; I ordered the Nutella but had to talk myself into using it. That’s how rich these are, as irresistible at Bred as in New Orleans itself.
Bred, 730 Main St., The Port, Cambridge
