All the Chain Restaurants Open for Brunch on Easter Sunday

Some people really enjoy cooking for friends and family. They've got the tools for every occasion, including, on Easter, a sweet "He is Risen" apron featuring loaves of bread and all the ingredients for an excellent zombie hunter cocktail. 

For everyone who doesn't enjoy the process of spending hours in the kitchen so your cousin's crappy kids can complain about how they don't like vegetables and how they just want to go to McDonald's, well, there are restaurants. Cut yourself a little slack and head to one of these major chain restaurants that will be open on Easter, many of which are offering a special menu for the holiday. 

Here are all the places that won't be closing the doors for Easter Sunday.
