Guide to Mother's Day Brunches in Metro Detroit
Mother's Day is just over a week away, but if you're thinking of treating mom or grandma to a special brunch, you might want to make your reservations sooner rather than later.
She may not say it out loud, but every mom wants a little pampering on Mother's Day and asking her to cook a three-course meal probably isn't what she has in mind.
While some of us can grill a mean pot roast, others are more likely to burn down the house. Luckily, someone had the foresight to invent the Mother's Day buffet.
From Macomb Township to Livingston County, here is a comprehensive guide for Metro Detroit's Mother's Day brunches and buffets. Reminder, Mother's Day is Sunday, May 13, 2012.
