Bread & Butter

Bread and Butter (2014) by Michelle Wildgen. Three brothers -- Leo, Britt and Harry -- go into the restaurant business. Leo and Britt are partners in Winesap, an upscale restaurant with a rather sophisticated menu. They are surprised when Harry decides to open his own restaurant, eventually named Stray, in a "bad" part of town. Britt eventually becomes a partner in Stray, and he and Harry go into business together. This book is all about family dynamics, as the three brothers compete, but also about food, food, food, as they design their menus and experiment with different dishes they want to offer. It's a most enjoyable read, with romance thrown into the mix for Leo and Britt, and I was thoroughly entertained for most of the way through the novel. Grade: B+
