Though charcoal drawing was once the dominant artistic medium in America, precious few masterworks survived the realization that those early portraits could be crumpled up and used to smoke delicious stacks of ribs. Honor forgotten artists with today’s Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of breakfast or lunch at American Pit Bosses BBQ.

American Pit Bosses thwarts morning and midday hunger with plates of barbecue smothered in homemade sauce and hearty, homestyle breakfasts. During lunch from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., cooks concoct a tangy barbecue sauce from scratch and brush it over the half-pound of ribs ($7.95), half-pound of barbecue pork ($7.95), and quarter-pound of chicken ($5.75), creating savory Rorschach tests on customers' napkins. The barbecued-pork sandwich ($3.95) comes with pickle, onion, and choice of one side, such as the chicken potato salad. From 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., culinary craftsmen mount a surge against early-morning hunger with a bounty of homemade breakfasts, such as the two-egg special accompanied by hash browns, choice of toast or biscuit, and jelly ($4.25). Diners can also grab a guilt-free light and healthy breakfast featuring two pieces of turkey bacon, two eggs, a bowl of fruit, and an artist's rendering of a stomach giving you a thumbs up ($4.99).
