Mother's Day 2020: Suburban restaurants offer special to-go meals this year

Mother's Day sure won't be the same this year with Gov. J.B. Pritzker's stay-at-home order still in effect. If you normally treat Mom to a lavish brunch or dinner at a suburban restaurant on her special day - this year Sunday, May 10 - you'll need to rethink things a little.

Luckily, many restaurants are offering special Mother's Day meals to-go. But make sure to check when preorders are due because almost all of the dinners must be ordered in advance. And, one more request: Once everyone is done enjoying the special meal, please don't leave the cleanup to Mom. She'll thank you for that.
