Like phone numbers and ill-considered doctoral theses, barbecue sauce often ends up on a napkin. Dole out savory blots with today's Groupon: for $8, you get $16 worth of barbecue and drinks at Big R's & Shannon's BBQ in La Grange.
The family of grillmasters at Big R's & Shannon's BBQ slow-smoke pork brisket on hickory and cherry wood for 12–15 hours to imbue their menu's offerings with rich, smoky flavor. Half slabs of baby back ribs ($9) tickle taste buds with a tangy house dry rub, and the half chicken ($6.36) quells cravings for poultry and asymmetry. Diners crunch in unison while dividing full orders of brisket nachos ($8.75), or clasp fingers around the chopped-brisket sandwich ($5.95), which is served with one of the eatery's nine sides including baked-potato salad and mac 'n' cheese. More than 20 beers, wines, and sweet alcoholic beverages trickle down esophagi, and guests listen to the world passing outside or the hypnotic thwack of darts and haunted screen doors.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Office Icebreakers
Icebreakers help new hires get to know more tenured employees, and vice versa, by encouraging everyone to share personal info—such as names, hobbies, and places on their body that bruise easily—in a fun way. Here are some games you can use to make new best work friends:
Two Truths and a Lie: Share three facts about yourself and let the rest of the group tell you which one they had hoped you were lying about.
Never Have I Ever: Each person in the group is given 30 minutes to talk about things they never accomplished because of a lack of self-confidence or a disease that makes joints stiffen into mannequin limbs.
Ball, Ball, Bread Slice: Quickly pass a football, soccer ball, and slice of bread around a circle. If someone gets stuck with all three at once, the game is over.
Uh-oh, Emergency!: One person lies on the floor, pretending to be unconscious, while everyone else tries to guess the "unconscious" person's name. The person who guesses the name correctly has to "wake" the "unconscious" person by administering real CPR.
