Your 2023 guide to treating your mom to a Mother’s Day meal in Charlotte
The annual celebration of cherishing the woman who raised you — Mother’s Day — is Sunday, May 14. And among the best ways to honor the work your mom put in is to take a load off of her by taking care of the food.
Think of how many hundreds — no, thousands — of meals your mom acquired for you, cooked for you or arranged for you to have. Not to mention the shopping, dishes and other chores that went along with that. Now, it’s time to step up!
Whether you have a mother, have become a mother yourself or want to recognize the important women in your life who have served as mother figures this Mother’s Day, here are Charlotte area restaurants and food and drink services that can help you celebrate in 2023.
