Mother's Day Brunch Recommendations from All Over

Posted by Ed Levine, May 10, 2008 at 11:00 AM

I asked some of my food critic friends and some of the correspondents from around Serious Eats where they would recommend taking your mom on Mother's Day. Intel poured in from around the country. And I added my own picks, too.

Atlanta

John Kessler, food columnist and feature writer for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, says:

We're going to Watershed, which has a great, often overlooked brunch with cream biscuits, lard biscuits, toad in the hole, poached eggs with spinach and country ham, house-cured salmon, candied bacon. 406 West Ponce De Leon Avenue, Decatur GA 30030; 404-378-4900; watershedrestaurant.com

A nice new choice might be Parish, a very cool-looking New Orleans cooking spot in an old bleach factory in one of the suddenly new in-town nabes that was all crack houses and kudzu just a couple of years ago. It had a fine roast beef debris sandwich with mustard and pickles, but I think Mother's Day brunch is more. 240 North Highland Avenue, Atlanta GA 30307; 404-681-4434; parishatl.com

[After the jump, some serious recommendations from D.C., Dallas, Chicago, New York, and L.A. that are worthy of that special lady in your life.]

Chicago's Best Brunch Spots

Chicago Tribune restaurant critic Phil Vettel and 35 of his colleagues visited more than 70 restaurants over a two month span to put together their ultimate guide to brunch in Chicago. They've broken their recommendations down into a few categories, but I thought these three were the most fun to read: Phil's five under $25 for affordable no-frills eats, best french toast, and best brunches.

I also really enjoyed the short piece Vettel put together on how restaurants ruin brunch. Number one on his list is also my number one brunch peeve: not giving me anything to eat immediately. As he points out, "your typical brunch customer has not eaten solid food for about 12 hours"—so just please bring me some biscuits now, or hand me the plate I'll be needing for the buffet instead of making me wait for no real reason. My blood sugar will thank you for it.
