I’ve been invited to Mother’s Day Brunch (even though my mom’s back East this year) at The Luxe Rodeo Drive Hotel. They will be hosting a Mother’s Day Rooftop Champagne Brunch on its penthouse suite and terrace.  This is the ONLY rooftop dining on Rodeo Drive, offering guests some scenic views of Beverly Hills and the shops of Rodeo Drive while enjoying brunch and celebrating with the special mom in their life, or in my case, friends! Check out the menu here. I’ll be posting some yummy pics on Instagram, just look for #TheDish!

There you have it. A few yummy options! Don’t forget, if you really want to impress Mom, you could always whip her up a meal on your own! We have plenty of recipes right here!
