My mom can't go out for Mother's Day this year, any recommendations for places that do a Mother's Day brunch but that you can pick up for like 7 people? I know we've done that for Christmas or Thanksgiving before.

Or I guess we could just order from the usual suspects for takeout.

Might be too late but see if you get can get someone to cook in your house, or alternatively bring catered food.

What about whipping something up? Even if cooking isn't a strong suit, making a tasty breakfast/brunch isn't the hardest thing. I am sure some youtube videos can be of assistance.

I am sure Mama Bear would appreciate it as well, the effort is always worth it. Take out will probably cost a fortune and brunch like items just don't travel as well.

I didn't see anything that would be worth $50 and a 2.5 hour wait in that video.

I do have fond memories of a couple buffets in the NE when I was growing up. There was one in the Safeway parking lot at 36 ST and 32 Ave which was probably my favorite. There was one beside Coop in the strip mall beside Village Square which I remember having really good dessert and ice cream. Also the Pizza Hut buffet was awesome for the sundae bar.

I don't get it either. I used to enjoy buffet and AYCE places when I was younger but they've lost their lustre, especially after COVID. I'm not lining up for hours for any meal, especially warmed-over bacterial cultures.

My dad used to take us once a month as a splurge when we were kids. Sad when it closed down.
