A Trio of Mother’s Day Brunch Options In, Around Chicago
Bacon-wrapped prunes with Armagnac honey, one of the many dishes at Untitled on Mother’s Day.
There’s no better way to let mom know you appreciate her on Mother’s Day than by taking her out to a nice brunch. This year, a few Chicago-area restaurants are making it easy for you to say “thanks,” by offering special brunch menus and a little something extra for moms.
