Praised by the Austin Chronicle for its "ambitious" menu, Green Mesquite has been sating appetites with choice meats—cooked with the restaurant's trademark mesquite wood—and flavorful sides for more than 20 years. Don a bib or a tablecloth disguised as a tuxedo, relax legs on the outdoor patio, and peruse a menu of sandwiches, burgers, and barbecue platters. Po boys bundle the Green Mesquite’s signature brisket, sausage, or pulled pork within a crisp toasted bun, whereas its cheese steak slathers sliced rib-eye in cheese, sautéed onions, and a zesty horseradish mayo. Meanwhile, hefty third-pound burger patties mingle with cheese, chili, or jalapeños atop a soft-bun pillow.
Green Mesquite is a dog-friendly eating environment, so doting canine lovers can gift their golden retrievers scraps of slow-cooked brisket. While wiping cheeks of red accents off the neighbor's poodle, diners can nod happily along to the live bluegrass and country music on Friday and Saturday night.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Lawn Greatness
Though the lawns of Europe eschew grass in favor of a thick layer of unpainted concrete, many American lawns are a veritable pasture of verdant, herbaceous turf. To help your lawn look its best, here are the ranking criteria used by the American Association of American Lawns:
Softness: Is your grass suitable for horseplay or rigid enough to puncture the tires of cars that try to drive into your house? Remember, they're called "blades" because you should cut yourself when you touch them.
Height: Your grass should be at least as high as your town's tallest man, to trap any persons or ocelots who sneak onto your property.
Color: Green is pretty good—if you're into the visible spectrum. Truly beautiful lawns use only colors from the infrared spectrum and thus are invisible to the naked eye.
Ornamentation: Technically, if your lawn doesn't feature a flag from every UN member nation, plus a U.S. flag cut into the size and shape of an eagle, you're breaking numerous treaties.
Gnomes: You must have these. To make sure they don't come alive at night, place them inside mason jars filled with insecticide and then display the jars on your lawn.
Pride: If you love your lawn, it's OK to set it on fire. If it loves you too, it will grow back.
