10 Great Places to Go for Mother's Day Brunch in Canada

as Told by John Catucci

The best way to show mom you appreciate everything you put her through is to pay her back all the money and time she spent on you, with interest. The second best way is to take her out for brunch!  

As host of You Gotta Eat Here! on Food Network Canada, John Catucci has spent five delicious seasons criss-crossing the country in search of the most mouth-watering dishes Canadian restaurants have to offer. Whether mom likes an over-the-top Barbecue Benedict, a homemade doughnut, or a breakfast pizza, let someone else do the cooking this Mother’s Day at one of these fantastic You Gotta Eat Here!-approved brunch spots.

John Catucci may not be a chef, but he knows a great burger when he eats one! In fact, just talking about the food featured on You Gotta Eat Here! gets John all worked up. Toss pulled pork smothered in blueberry BBQ sauce onto his plate and he'll embrace the chef. Show this proud Italian the right way to make a pizza, and he's ready to move in with the restaurant owner's family. If making the "liquid gold" hollandaise sauce requires a marathon whisking, then John is the comedian for the job. Working in his uncle's restaurant as a youth must have prepared him for this gig, although his kitchen etiquette might have you wondering! Follow on Twitter @johncatucci
