What You'll Get
Barbecue sauce is good for more than just greasing the axles of the perpetual motion machine that Matthew McConaughey built out of meat, as today's deal proves: for $20, you get $50 worth of authentic down-home eats at Corky's Ribs & BBQ, a juicy barbecue joint that serves ribs, catfish, brisket, and mouthwatering soul food in Brentwood.
Corky's menu lets you bite into smokehouse wings ($7), a Delta catfish sandwich with fries ($8), a full slab of wet and dry ribs with two sides ($19.50), a barbecue-stuffed spud ($7.50), and other sure cures for the blues, as well as certain strains of the purples and lycanthropy. Corky's offers family meals that serve three to four people and include a pound of meat, two sides, and buns, rolls, or corn muffins ($16 for a barbecue pork meal, $38 for two slabs of ribs). You can also create your own combination for $16.50 by choosing two sides (fried okra, spiced apples, corn on the cob, and more) and three meats (such as fresh pulled pork shoulder, smoked sausage, barbecue chicken, beef brisket, hot tamales and chili, and Southern fried catfish). Corky's offers lunch specials starting at $6 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the workweek.
Studies have shown that if the human body is denied barbecue sauce for too long, it will begin producing its own to the point that it erupts into a geyser of sweet and savory sauce. Don't let this happen to you. Use your Groupon for takeout or dine-in, and finally justify that extra stain-free shirt you always carry in your back pocket.
