So we're going to talk about a .
And we did check late last night
to make sure that there were sps
available at all of these place.
OK, That's what people want to
hear for sure. And that's a.
Lengthy list that you that you
said what can what are some
newer places that you would say
are celebrating Mother's Day?
There's a new place called Hear,
and it is the restaurant that
just opened on the South end of
Choctaw Stadium in Arlington,
but you do not need to be atteng
a sporting event to dine there .
They pulled out all the stops fr
their first Mother's Day four ce
brunch with choices like filet mignon
with boars and mashed potatoes,
blue crab quiche. It's $65.
And it is a very nice,
impressive spread and they do

to show their mom that money
is no object, where do you go?
A real splurge is fearings
at the Ritzcarlton Dallas.

brunch with crab cake Benedict,
lobster omelet, lamb Shank,
a deluxe dessert trio for the
queenly sum of $145.00 per pers.
But you know, we're talking
about 5 star chef Dean Fearing.
And the beautiful setting of the Ritz.
Now this is going to be a top foodie choice,
and this one always does sell o,
regardless of price.

a little more affordable option,
also, Tara Mediterranean in Plao
is pulling out some Mediterranen
favorites and that one is only
