Cooking at home involves the risk of small burns, spilled liquids, and the advances of an oven in heat. Avoid stovetop suitors with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of Southern fare at Five Sisters Blues Cafe.

Five Sisters Blues Cafe sates growling stomachs with a spread of traditional Southern recipes influenced by Creole and Caribbean flavors. Diners can tango with the menu’s blue-crab-cake dinner, which sports a side of remoulade sauce and maritime patties encased, like a baker's broken arm, in a cast of breadcrumbs ($14.75). Slather throats with the pepper-and-onion gravy pooling over CJ’s smothered pork chop ($9.50), or fill human food processors with the Clean Plate club, layers of honey-cured ham, turkey, and bacon smothered in swiss cheese and roasted-onion mayo ($8.99). For fans of brunch, the Sunday menu wields delectable dishes such as the crispy chicken and waffles ($6.99+) and The New Orleans Napolean, a puff pastry layered with scrambled eggs, andouille sausage, and hollandaise sauce as rich as a billionaire's bust sculpted in butter ($11.50).
