A new ranking shows many Americans are shut out of the top restaurants, contributing to a surge in Mother's Day brunch reservations as diners seek available slots and experiences. Fox News reports reservations rising 30-40% or more, with some venues booking up to 10 weeks in advance, and highlights state gaps in the Top 100 Brunch Restaurants list compiled from OpenTable data. NPR provides a human-interest note about Mother's Day kindness and family routines, but does not address reservations or the ranking. New York Post promotes deals and freebies for Mother’s Day, offering a contrasting consumer framing but not directly about restaurant access.
