Top 10 Restaurants For Mother’s Day Brunch in Charlotte

We should celebrate Mom every day! But the ‘official’ day to celebrate is almost here!

If you haven’t already, it’s time to make those dining out plans.

Based on online reviews, and Mother’s Day specials, here are the best 10 Mother’s Day brunch spots in Charlotte:

#10 Tupelo Honey Cafe

Shoo Mercy pancake with fried chicken is the way to go….but the biscuits & gravy with fried chicken is a close 2nd…you can’t really go wrong with any of their fried chicken dishes.

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER @TUPELOHONEYCAFE #SUNDAY #BRUNCH #CHICKEN AND SWEET POTATO #PANCAKES WITH THE ALMIGHTY #BACON

#9 300 East

300 East especially excels when it comes to their brunch menu. You can’t go wrong with the French toast with bacon. Thick slices of bread covered in deliciousness. They use real maple syrup and the bacon is on point.

ain’t she a beaut?

#8 Café Monte

If you’re looking for a gourmet brunch, this place is hard to beat. Make sure to get the beignets – they’re worth every single calorie!

#7 The Flying Biscuit

Their biscuits are truly incredible and the Southern Scramble is on point – scrambled eggs, turkey bacon and collard greens with cheese – you can’t go wrong.

#6 Another Broken Egg Cafe

Order the cookie butter latte for your drink and the strawberry pancakes if you want something sweet.

#5 Snooze

This place has the best pancake flights in town, hands down. I’d recommend trying the salad, salmon, bacon, eggs, and hash browns, and some desert pancakes, at a minimum.

#4 Terrace Restaurant

This place has ranked among the top brunch spots in Charlotte for years, most of their food is incredbile, but their Red velvet waffles are to die for.

#3 Bistro La Bon

Whether you order a meal on Saturday, or feast on their Sunday buffet, you can’t go wrong with brunch at Bistro La Bon. The shrimp and grits with a side of bacon is my favorite.

#2 Rusty Bucket

A relatively newcomer to the Charlotte brunch scene, they just opened their first Charlotte location in South Park about a year and a half ago, and they just started serving brunch a couple months ago…but it was worth the wait. Their Braised Short Rib Hash and Chicken & Waffles are truly unforgettable.

Mother’s Day Brunch begins at 11 a.m. and goes until 3 p.m. – no reservations are necessary, unless you have a party of eight or more.

#1 Famous Toastery

This place is a legend in Charlotte, it was originally called ‘Toast Cafe’ before expanding to several locations throughout the Charlotte region. It’s even been named as one of the best future restaurant chains in America by CNBC. They do pretty much everything on the brunch menu incredibly, and they can cook your eggs at least 20 different ways.

Where are you planning on getting brunch this Sunday?

Princeton Professor Dr. Eddie S. Glaude Jr. To Headline Levine Museum’s Annual CataLysT

Dr. Eddie S. Glaude Jr. will deliver an inspirational message, virtually, during Levine Museum of the New South’s annual fundraiser, CataLysT. The June 5, hybrid in-person/virtual fundraiser, presented by PNC Bank, will benefit Levine Museum’s efforts to build a stronger, more equitable community by connecting people to Charlotte and to each other through history, culture and celebration. Guests are invited to attend in-person at Victoria Yards or join virtually, at 7:00 p.m.  

Dr. Glaude, the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor of African American Studies at Princeton University, is an author, political commentator and passionate educator who examines the complex dynamics of the American experience.

CataLysT will surely be a night to remember – an evening of story, music, community and reflection. Dr. Glaude’s message, America’s Great Promise, will examine the three great waves of the Civil Rights struggle in America – a struggle characterized by progress and set-backs – and will invite the audience to look inward. Levine Museum encourages local and national audiences to gather for this timely message – to inspire hope, ignite dialogue, and create change as individuals and as a community.

“For 30 years, Levine Museum of the New South has used history to build a just and equitable community, as Charlotte’s storyteller, memory-keeper, convener, and catalyst – so it is fitting that we mark this occasion by bringing Dr. Eddie Glaude to Charlotte,” said Kathryn Hill, president and CEO of Levine Museum of the New South. “Dr. Glaude urges us to think deeply about history and to challenge the myths we tell ourselves about that history to effect real and lasting change. His message has never been more important.”

“At PNC, we believe education can be a great unifier,” said Weston Andress, PNC regional president for Western Carolinas. “We are fortunate Levine Museum of the New South shares this belief – and we are grateful for its continued work to help our community understand the history that has shaped our region.”

Levine Museum serves schoolchildren and educators, long-time residents, newcomers and tourists, using history to build a just, equitable community. Proceeds raised from CataLysT will support this continued effort. For ticket information and sponsorship opportunities, visit museumofthenewsouth.org/catalyst.

South Carolina House Just Voted To Approve Death By Firing Squad

Yesterday, the South Carolina House voted 66-43 to approve SB 200, a bill that would bring back the firing squad for executions in the state.

Death Row Inmates in South Carolina have had the option of choosing between the electric chair and lethal injection, and recently, prisoners have chosen lethal injection after hearing it might delay their execution. Now, inmates can only choose lethal injection if the drugs are available at the time of their election, otherwise, they have to choose between the electric chair and a firing squad.

SB 200 specifically reads:

“A person convicted of a capital crime and having imposed upon him the sentence of death shall suffer the penalty by electrocution or, at the election of the convicted person, by firing squad or lethal injection, if it is available at the time of election, under the direction of the Director of the Department of Corrections. The election for death by electrocution, firing squad, or lethal injection must be made in writing fourteen days before each execution date or it is waived. If the convicted person receives a stay of execution or the execution date has passed for any reason, then the election expires and must be renewed in writing fourteen days before a new execution date. If the convicted person waives the right of election, then the penalty must be administered by electrocution.”

South Carolina will become just the 4th state in the nation to include a firing squad as part of their executions, joining Utah, Oklahoma, and Mississippi.

The SC Senate initially approved the bill this past March and will now have to vote on the minor changes the House made to it, at which point it will move to Republican Gov. Henry McMaster’s desk, who has said he will sign it.

SC Just Witnessed An EF-2 Tornado Travel 30 Miles – The Longest Path of Destruction in Decades

This week, the Carolinas saw one of the most sustained tornadoes in decades as an EF-2 tornado touched down just east of Russell Lake and traveled almost 30 miles to Greenwood, SC (about 100 miles southwest of Charlotte).

Last night, the National Weather Service confirmed the tornado and issued the following statement:

TREE DAMAGE BEGAN NEAR RUSSEL LAKE ON HARPERS FERRY RD SOUTHWEST 
OF LOWNDESVILLE SC. BUILDING DAMAGE OCCURRED EAST OF THERE AT TATER 
HILL RD. A PERSON WAS INJURED AS HE WAS BLOWN OFF HIS BACK PORCH. 
SPORADIC TREE DAMAGE CONTINUED UNTIL A HOME ON FAIRFIELD CHURCH RD 
RECEIVED EF-2 DAMAGE. EF-1 TREE DAMAGE OCCURRED FROM HIGHWAY 71 TO 
HIGHWAY 28. THE TORNADO INTENSIFIED AGAIN WITH EF-2 TREE DAMAGE ON
STEVENSON RD. EF-1 TREE DAMAGE CONTINUED AS THE TORNADO MOVED EAST. 
EF-1 BUILDING AND TREE DAMAGE OCCURRED NEAR HIGHWAY 25 AND CALHOUN 
RD. THE TORNADO LIFTED JUST EAST OF HIGHWAY 25.

The NWS also noted how rare it is for a tornado to travel that far here in the Southeast – the last one traveling this far in South Carolina occurred in 1994:

There is still some chance for severe weather in the Charlotte region today – keep a close eye on the radar and local weather stations.

Dewitt Carolinas Starting Construction On New $1 Billion Mixed-Use Development

Dewitt Carolinas just closed on a crucial $40 million loan to start construction on one of the largest developments North Carolina has seen in years.

The new development will be called ‘Midtown Exchange‘, and will be located on a 40 acre piece of land in the heart of Raleigh’s midtown area.

When finished, it will include, 790,000 square feet of Class A office space, 31,500 square feet of convention center with rooftop dining and entertainment, 7+ acres of greenspace with water features and park amenities that will tie into the city’s existing greenway, 25,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, 300 hotel rooms, 302 condos and townhomes, 823 apartment units, and 450 senior and adult living units.

Historic records show the site is where the historic Isaac Hunter’s Tavern once stood – the tavern where many believe modern day Raleigh was born.

In honor of the historic tavern, the development will include an underground speakeasy surrounded by waterfalls:

“This acquisition comes as the result of a long term and firmly held vision to which the Dewitt Carolinas team has been committed for nearly 20 years,” said Dewitt’s CEO Todd Saieed. “We have been persistent and strategic in assembling this property, pursuing the zoning required and earning the trust of our neighbors, City Council and business partners.”

Go through various sites to compare their welcome offers. Also, take note of terms and conditions and maximum cashout amounts.

If you use this bonus well, your initial experience playing will be an exciting one, especially when using a site like Clovr.com  

Casino Loyalty Bonus

When you use a particular site’s services for a long time, they may surprise you with a loyal customer’s bonus. In most cases, high rollers get the priority, followed by regular depositors. You may also receive it on special occasions like birthdays or during festive seasons.

No Deposit Bonus

Players only have to create an account at their favorite gaming site. They have no obligation to deposit before attempting their first few plays. Some casinos offer no deposit bonus codes that you must provide while registering your details. Others credit your account with the bonus in cash that you must use to bet a certain amount. 

You can only cash out your winnings after meeting all requirements. Always go through a site’s terms and conditions to understand how best to utilize this free reward. The rules differ; hence you cannot assume that it’s the same across all platforms.

Uncontrollable errors can occur during a game, or a player may be unlucky and suffer a major losing streak. Casinos sometimes offer a form of reward to players when things are not going in their favor. Cashback rewards are better than traditional ones because they don’t have any strings attached. They serve as insurance policies. The terms differ from one casino to another. Some offer cashback on every bet, while others accumulate the cashback amount.

Free Trial bonus

Free trials allow customers to test specific games at the online casinos usa. This strategy is similar to promotional offers at stores that will enable consumers to try something before buying it. Players don’t have to deposit or commit to playing with real money on their free trial games. One advantage of this is players can experiment with new sites risk-free. The offer doesn’t target new players; existing players can participate in previews of new games.

Existing Player Bonus

In most cases, this reward is available once a month for regular players. If you are a keen player and understand how your favorite online casino operates, you won’t miss out on monthly offers. Besides, if you are an active player, you can receive a bonus out of the blue. 

High Roller

This is a VIP program allowing players to earn massive amounts of bonuses. It’s an advantage to players because of how massive they can be even with small deposit amounts. Since the bonus matches deposits, high rollers gain a lot. Unlock this feature by depositing a fair amount, as long it’s within the set casino limit. 

Free Play Bonus

Casinos also offer free play bonuses to players at the start of a game, and can only use it within a set time limit. Any winnings you get before the time expires will be added to your account. When you move on to the next stage after a win, the original credits and your deposit serve as bonus funds. 

Final Thoughts

Nowadays, gambling sites use these incentives to retain old players and tag new ones. They are advantageous and offer players the chance to use free cash or spins to earn more. Remember, you must meet all requirements before you can enjoy these bonuses. You can also use the chance to hone your gaming skills by practicing new games.
