I don't recall his mother being mentioned so far in the anime. Is there any
info on her status/location?

shokugeki-no-soma
What about Yukihira Soma's mother?


In the end of chapter 1 of the manga is the only time I know she is mentioned
(or more like shown in a picture).

In the fifth season of the anime, Soma's mother's name is revealed as Yukihira
Tamako, and her status is deceased. She's the reason why Joichiro stopped
traveling so much and came home - he had to take care of Soma and the family
restaurant.

The [wiki](https://shokugekinosoma.fandom.com/wiki/Tamako_Yukihira) also
provides some information regarding her debut in the series:

> **Manga** :
>
>   * Manga debut: chapter 311

>
> **Anime** :

>   * First mention: Episode 74
>   * Cameo: Episode 76
>   * Full appearance: Episode 83
