The 2008 Chicago Splash Mother's Day Restaurant Guide

It is often said that motherhood is a full time job. But while most normal jobs have a beginning and end to the day, motherhood has no punch-clock. Because with the extensive care a child (or children) require in order to survive, a mother must be on duty 24/7, 365 days a year. (Leap years, too.)

That’s why Mother’s Day is such an important holiday; it gives us one set day every year to try and repay our mothers for all of the hard work and sacrifice they endured in order to raise us. Luckily, many local restaurants are offering special Mother’s Day brunches as a small way of thanking those who gave us life, changed our diapers, and turned us all into the people we are today.

What’s listed below are just some of the many options one has to treat their mother to this holiday.
