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 $7, you get $15 worth of barbecued fare and pours at Tom’s BBQ and Catering.
Tom’s BBQ slathers a menu of pork, beef, and chicken in a choice of nine savory sauces. A dinner plate of Carolina pork shoulder ($7.50), Texas beef brisket ($9.50), or barbecue chicken ($7.50) arrives with an entourage of two made-from-scratch sides and a makeup artist for sauce touch-ups. Mild, hot, and mustard sauces join Jake’s and North Carolina flavors in blanketing meat, along with the signature Tom’s BBQ’s World Championship cheerwine sauce. The grill delivers a quarter-pound cheeseburger with fries ($5.50) or quarter-rack of ribs ($9.50), and a menu of made-from-scratch sides assembles fried apples, hush puppies, and barbecue baked beans ($1.35 each).
