The dueling glove was originally an invention of chefs who would slap raw fish with oven mitts and demand electric knives at dawn. Taste the edible creations of culinary innovators with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of Mediterranean and Japanese cuisine and drinks at Sawa Restaurant & Lounge, located in the Village of Merrick Park in Coral Gables.
Sawa's chefs creatively cook up the distinctly different cuisines of Japan and the Mediterranean, fusing the flavors into a menu of tapas, soups, sushi, and kebabs. Prevent an unnecessary belly vacancy and entertain taste buds with small plates of tempura vegetables with honey-yuzu sauce ($6.75) or pan-fried frog legs in roasted garlic aioli ($9.75). More than 20 sushi options, such as the Black and White roll of cream cheese, caviar, sesame seeds, scallions, and lobster ($12), keep company with six grilled kebabs, including the filet-mignon kebab ($18). A wide selection of beers, sakes, cocktails, and wines patiently wait to compliment mains—such as the pan-seared chilean sea bass ($25) and grilled lamb rack in a jalapeño mint-demi reduction ($24)—on their impeccable taste and ability to sit completely still.
The chic, loungey environs of Sawa sports interactive 3-D artwork by Chady Elias, including an LED lights show behind the bar. White walls, white curtains, white chandeliers, and white upholstery keep diners satisfied in an appetizingly white dining oasis. On weekends, diners can chew in time with live tunes and enjoy the shimmy-shaking escapades of Sawa's able-bodied belly dancers.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Germs
Germs are unavoidable: they flutter through the air, they drill through your dermis with their auger-like snouts, and they hide where you least expect it—in the laugh of a child. Here's what you need to know about these pathogenic microorganisms:
The Germ of an Idea: Germs are named for their discover, Johann van de Germ, the Austrian science hobbyist who built his own microscope out of plywood, rubber bands, and an existing microscope. Naturally, he was shocked to see his skin crawling with miniature monstrosities and spent his life trying to cleanse himself by bathing in moonlight.
Harmful Helpers: Although germs are actively working to undermine your body's health, some germs are actually necessary. Nicknamed "white blood cells," these scheming parasites smuggle oxygen from your lungs and hide it in your brain, where it's converted into memory nodes that can store state capitals and all eight years of your childhood.
Outrageously Contagious: Like dandelion seeds and wishes, germs are carried by the wind. To protect your family, avoid all physical and emotional contact with those around you. If you must hug your children, do so using two curved metal affection rods (available at all pharmacies) or hug them with words by writing them a check for $15.
