Now slathered on meat to boost succulence, barbecue sauce was originally only slathered on vegetable plants to lure hungry rabbits to evil neighbors' gardens. Destroy a saucy feast with today's Groupon: for $7, you get $15 worth of barbecue fare and drinks at Bar-B-Cutie in Acworth.

With pork slow-cooked for 17 hours, ribs seasoned with homemade rub, and secret-sauce recipes passed down for generations, the beacons behind Bar-B-Cutie are well equipped to tackle even the biggest barbecue cravings. Customers can whet their appetite with the coddled cucumber's feistier cousin, the fried pickle ($2.89), before incisor-attacking a large barbecue-pork sandwich served with a beverage and side, such as fried okra or baked apples ($7.50). For heartier hankerings, a platter meal such as the grilled mesquite chicken ($9.45) or chopped sirloin steak ($8.45) arrives tableside with a choice of two sides and bread. Meat-averse tongues can stick to licking the veggie plate, a combination of three sides—such as white beans, a baked potato, and macaroni 'n' cheese—and cornbread ($5.49), which is baked fresh daily and appropriate for all ages of elf.
