Over the next few days, we’ll be providing you folks with a few options for taking your lovely mothers out somewhere this weekend for Mother’s Day. After all, they’re the ones who allowed you to come into existence, fed, nurtured, and raised you — the least you could do is buy ’em a meal.
First on the list, Fox Restaurant ventures North Italian Farmhouse (2995 E. Skyline Drive) and Wildflower (7037 N. Oracle Rd.) are both running special Mother’s Day brunches.
North plans to offer their spin on a baked french toast, as well as the “Nonna,” which includes two fried eggs, red sauce, house-made sausage and torn bread, which executive chef Carlos Calderon calls “a comfort food favorite” — and I have it on fairly decent authority that it’s a favorite dish of Calderon.
Wildflower’s Mother’s Day menu includes an Alaskan Halibut dish with asparagus risotto and a red onion salad; Quiche Florentine; and a Fried Egg Sandwich, with bacon, havarti cheese, avocado and tomato.
Are there any Mother’s Day brunches or specials you think we should highlight? Send us a note!

Me, my momma, and Charles Ramsey and his momma all goin ta da McDonalds.
I hope you are going to pay for all of that food Burnie. It’s the very least anybody could do for Mr. Ramsey. In all reality though, if you are the food connoisseur that you claim to be, than you should do a lot more for this guy than that. Find a great local restaurant that serves exceptional dishes and go all out. Believe me, if I had the money and the time, I would do the same myself. NO bullshit! DC
I think I shall take him to Toby Keith’s then. After all, it is a chain of a different hue, ya know.
Speaking as a mom, my perfect mother’s day wouldn’t include going out to a fancy place.
It WOULD include my kid cleaning the house, washing the dishes and the clothes, then leaving for several hours so I could enjoy my nice clean house alone. Upon his return, he’d make me his great scrambled eggs for dinner, then clean the kitchen again.
Oh, and a bar of good quality dark chocolate would be nice too.
I can’t comment on Toby Keith’s outfit. All I know is the thought of anything that relates to contemporary country music already sickens me. The food could be heavenly, but the atmosphere to me would resemble hell. Try harder Mr. Mak.
My Mother’s Day is my boys fixing biscuits & gravy – sausage – hash browns – scrambled eggs – at my house – for the family (including 8 grandkids). It beats any restaurant in town!!!!
