"Swing by for a latte in the morning and then return later in the day for one of Bred’s locally famous smoked burgers layered with all sorts of toppings, from grilled pineapple and pork belly to fried eggs, brie, and sauteed mushrooms. Don’t forget the whiskey-battered onion rings on the side." - Erika Adams
"Located in both Dorchester’s Lower Mills neighborhood and Kendall Square in Cambridge, this cozy burger joint serves smoked beef burgers and plenty of alternatives (jerk salmon, and veggie, for example) on brioche and potato buns. Must-try burger: The Parisian, a grass-fed beef burger on brioche with caramelized onions, bacon, brie, sauteed mushrooms, truffle aioli, and a fried egg." - Erika Adams
"Bred Gourmet, a Dorchester and, as of last October, Kendall Square mainstay known for serving up one of the city’s great burgers, offers a happy hour menu with $5 sliders and $3 fries with all burgers on weekdays from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m." - Erika Adams
"Bred Gourmet, proprietor of some of Boston’s best burgers, is getting fancy for restaurant week festivities. Try a three-course dinner at Bred for $36 that includes whiskey-battered onion rings or a Caesar salad to start, a choice of entree such as the Maui burger with a smoked beef patty, pork belly, grilled pineapple, and sweet plantains, or the 504 fried chicken sandwich with a Creole slaw, plus a dessert of glazed beignets or milk and cookies. Or, check out the slightly abbreviated lunch menu for $27 per person." - Nathan Tavares
