Easter brunch is pretty much a practice run for Mother's Day brunch. If the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, the way to mom's heart is through fancy brunch buffets and prix fixe menus. The more she raves about how nice the place is and how you're spending too much money on her, the more you win. Here are some of metro Detroit's best for Mother's Day brunch!

Last chance: Wolfgang Puck Grille (Detroit)
This will be the last day of service for the Wolfgang Puck Grille inside the MGM Grand Detroit. The restaurant announced this week that it will be closing on May 13 and will immediately start renovations for a new restaurant to take its place. It is a sad day to see this place go, but we are happy Executive Chef Marc Djozlija (who has worked for Puck for over 20 years) will be staying in Detroit for the time being.
