When a golfer seeks inspiration, she looks toward the skies over Scotland, just as a baker gets a second wind from his brochure of the Choco Mountain Range. Today's Groupon inspires with a saucy salute to Memphis at Lil' Piggy's Bar-B-Q in Coronado. Choose between two options:
- For $12, you get $25 worth of succulent, finger-licking barbecue and drinks.
- For $89, you get a Lil' Taste of the South catering package to feed 10 people (up to a $190 value).
Lil' Piggy's mouthwatering comfort fare takes its cue from Memphis, where slathering style and smoky aromatics crown motivated pork-based cooking. Choose from one of more than 100 beers stored cold in their bottles, and then adjust your wet-nap for a journey through the menu of savory porks and beefs cooked low and slow over Hickory hardwoods. Break in your barbecue fork on a piggy plate of pulled pork ($11.99–$14.99) or baby back ribs served wet or dry ($10.99–$22.99). While the mouth can't avoid a respectably sloppy time at Lil' Piggy's, the fingers can stay clean and cool thanks to the bread-barricaded Bar-B-Q bacon burger with smoked applewood bacon, onion rings, and cheddar jack cheese ($9.99) or the lean pulled-chicken sammich topped with slaw and slapped on a potato bun ($9.99).
Alternatively, Piggy's catering services equips emcees of outdoor extravaganzas and indoor picnics with a protein parade of the restaurant's most treasured slatherables. The Lil' Taste of the South platter feeds 10 diners with the host's choice of two meats, two sides, and one salad. This catering package is good for pickup or delivery anywhere in Coronado; assisted setup and/or delivery outside Coronado will incur an extra fee.

- If you like BBQ ribs that melt off the bone and no looooong wait in line, then this is the place to get your "RiBs On". – Victor H., Yelp
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Your Day at the Beach
Warm weather climateers and people who no longer feel cold because they were struck by lightning as children are still spending most of their winter weekends frolicking at the beach. When you're packing your beach-blanket bindle, don't forget to include this list of handy beach tips:
- Remember, sun tan lotion prevents you from getting a tan. Sun block will cause you to develop a tan in the shape of traditional Tetris pieces.
- Inevitably during your day at the beach, all action and conversation will pause so that a band of head-bobbing mop-tops can play their hit single. It is considered polite to indulge them for now, as they will most likely not remain famous beyond 1965.
- Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water is the worst time to go back into the water. Always wait at least 45 minutes to go swimming after a shark has eaten someone you care about.
- Stay alert—beaches are a favorite hangout of seaweed-draped ocean monsters and motorcycle toughs, who find shelter in the many caverns and rocky outcroppings along the shoreline. Often, these googly-eyed algae men and underprivileged hoodlums will later be revealed to be the same entity, or at least operating in close cahoots. Either way, it's wise to pack a plastic bag to keep sand out of your gun.
- Are you enjoying the many elephants and high-flying daredevil acts during your visit to the beach? You are? Wrong. You have mistakenly attended the circus. Return home and begin your day again.
