Britt and Leo have spent ten years establishing Winesap as the best
restaurant in their small Pennsylvania town. They cater to their loyal
customers, they don't sleep with the staff, and business is good, even
if their temperamental pastry chef is bored with making the same
chocolate cake night after night.
But when their dilettante younger brother, Harry, opens his own
restaurant, Britt and Leo find their lives thrown off-kilter. Important
employees quit and reappear in Harry's kitchen, their "classic" menu
starts to seem overly safe, and romance threatens to bubble up in the
most inconvenient of places. As the brothers struggle to find a new
family dynamic, Bread and Butter proves to be a dazzling novel that's
as much about siblinghood as it is about the mysterious world behind the
kitchen door.
