We spoke with five women who are using this Sunday as an opportunity to contemplate motherhood, reevaluate their businesses, and potentially treat themselves, all while keeping their loved ones close or, when necessary, at a distance.
, and potentially treat themselves, all while keeping their loved ones close or, when necessary, at a distance.Ann Redding and Matt Danzer were trying to decide on this Sunday’s Mother’s Day special when I called. They’re still working seven days a week, fulfilling delivery and takeout orders that just about break even, from the kitchen of Uncle Boon’s Sister, just around the corner from their apartment, while their son Leo plays on the dining room floor.
The extra sleep is a blessing. During the day, Redding has a hard time turning off her mind. She’s a workaholic, and says it hurts to analyze their numbers, knowing they’re just breaking even. “It’s a blessing when Matt and I are home at the same time with Leo, but it’s so hard to enjoy it and I wish I could enjoy it more,” she says. “We have to stop ourselves at storytime because we’ll just start talking about work.
“I thought when we closed that the whole country was going to shut down for two weeks, everyone will stay home, and we’ll eradicate it,” she recalls, still in disbelief. “We shut down reservations for two to four weeks back in March, but we were still taking Mother’s Day bookings.” That doesn’t mean work isn’t always on her mind, just like every other restaurateur who’s open for business. Jang’s worked on Mother’s Day since she was old enough to work at Golden Capital, her parents’ Cantonese-Canadian restaurant back in her native Alberta. But she’s learning to make peace with the distance she feels from her long-delayed Los Angeles restaurant right now.
“We always have a tradition at home to do a big Mother’s Day brunch,” she says, an overlap between home and Joule, which is offering a $100 brunch in a box for Sunday morning pickup: eight courses from deviled eggs to porchetta, plus a mimosa kit. The couple committed to no longer working on Mother’s Day a few years back, and now they’re looking forward to a day spent close, while keeping their distance from everyone else.
