Zehnder’s Mother of the Year and Mom and Me Contest – Two Great Ways to Recognize Mom!
5,000 Mother’s Day diners expected May 14th
Zehnder’s opened its doors for business on Mother’s Day, 1929, when Zehnder’s chefs served up a total of 312 chicken dinners. Since then, hundreds of thousands of guests have participated in the Mother’s Day tradition at Zehnder’s, and Zehnder’s has come to know Mother’s Day as one of the busiest days of the year. Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 14th.
Zehnder’s of Frankenmuth CEO Albert Zehnder said the restaurant serves approximately 5,000 Mother’s Day meals to mothers and their families. Dinners will be served in the 1,500-seat restaurant and a Mother’s Day brunch will be available in Z Chef’s Café on the lower level. Reservations for the Buffet and Dinner can be made online at www.zehnders.com or for Brunch by calling (989) 652-0450. For Mother’s Day brunch, buffet and dinner menus, click here.
