Why Dine Out This Mother's Day?
Mother's Day isn't just another holiday; it's the culinary event of the year! According to OpenTable, more families dined out last Mother's Day than any other day in 2023. And this year? The trend only grows, with moms planning to hit their favorite spots multiple times throughout the weekend—sometimes even solo! So, why not skip the kitchen chaos and treat mom to some of the best eats around?
The Brunch Phenomenon: Mother's Day's Hottest Meal
It's official: Brunch is the champion of Mother's Day meals. Nearly half of all dining out last Mother's Day happened between the clinking of morning mimosas and the last bites of brunch. OpenTable has made choosing the perfect spot easier with their Top 100 Brunch Restaurants list. From the cozy English Rose Tea Room in Arizona to the chic Élephante in Santa Monica, these spots are sure to dazzle mom with delectable dishes and splendid settings.
Across Generations: How Everyone Celebrates Differently
Did you know Mother's Day dining habits vary widely across generations? Millennials and Gen Z lead the charge, likely to spend more and opt for phone-free dining, seeking quality time over scrolling time. Meanwhile, Baby Boomers and Gen X prefer a more subdued celebration, although they're not far behind in the dining spree. This generational twist adds a unique flavor to each family's festivities.
