Mother's Day is just around the corner and we all want to show mom how much she's appreciated, but if you're thinking of doing that with Sunday brunching, you might want to move quickly on that.
Some Triangle restaurants are already completely booked for Mother's Day, some are accepting parties under certain circumstances and others are still trying to make room for walk-in customers.
We called ahead to a few Triangle hot spots to find out whether they have any open spots to help you and your mom get your hands on some eggs Benedict and mimosas this Sunday.
