Summary 
An upbeat comedy about looking for love, thinking of romance, and finding yourself. Amelia is a 30-year-old looking for her first boyfriend and--even with the help of her eccentric boss, her overbearing parents, and her best friend--her luck seems to be running out. With her nose buried in a book, she finds romance in a stranger who has left notes in the margins and soon finds herself entranced. Charming, funny, and unique, BREAD AND BUTTER bills itself as the "anti-romantic comedy" as we watch Amelia juggle the attentions of both Leonard, the stranger from her book, and Daniel (Bobby Moynihan of SNL) in a love triangle pitting both sides of Amelia's romantic notions against each other. Will she choose the brooding Leonard or the affable Daniel? Will she ever find someone to butter her bread?
