$79 for Five-Hour Competition BBQ Cooking Class ($175 Value)

During five-hour Competition BBQ Cooking classes, novice grillers gather together for tutelage from accomplished barbecue chef Jim Modesitt, who infuses modernized San Francisco barbecue with old-school Southern influences. The chef takes students through the basics of cooking meats in grills and barbecue smokers, helping them to master firing up embers with wood, charcoal, and bottle rockets. Pupils learn to how to flavor protein cuts with injections, dry rubs, sauces, and marinades before digging in to their finished products, which may include baby-back ribs, pulled pork, and shrimp. Classes run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and a currently scheduled session takes place on Sunday, June 10—additional classes will be added. Check the schedule for the current line-up.

Big Jim's BBQ

Big Jim’s BBQ entrances diners with a menu of tempting contemporary and barbecue cuisine arranged by chef Jim Modesitt. Like the annual westward migration of wood-smoking grills, the sauce-slathered bill of fare unites gourmet California treats with rustic southern cooking traditions, pairing juicy pulled pork, chicken, ribs, and brisket with hearty risottos, traditional cornbreads and beans, assorted cheeses, and crostinis. As clients sup on the tasty bounty or enroll in courses to learn the dark arts of cookcraft from the kitchen’s professional chefs and caterers, rich flavors and aromas lavish the nose and palate with a sensory celebration of fine food.

The Groupon Guide to: the Human Genome

Humans have 23 different chromosomes, which contain the DNA that defines everything about us, from our hair color to whether or not we love roast-beef sandwiches. Here are some of the most important human chromosomes and what they determine about us:

Chromosome 1: Face shape (oval, round, square, or totally wavy)

Chromosome 2: Ability to digest large ferns

Chromosome 5: Which hand you use to point to traitors in your family

Chromosome 7: Tolerance for fun hats

Chromosome 10: Whether your sweat smells like fresh soap or dog sweat

Chromosome 15: Whether you have the dexterity to hold hamsters in a loose yet firm grip, so that they can't run away but also don't get squeezed too hard

Chromosome 18: Morals

Chromosome 20: Ability to feel love/hate/postmeal depression

Chromosome 23: Gender (male, female, or sexy horse)

Why don't some people like fun hats—genetically?
