Like tinsel, guitar solos, and incriminating legal papers, sauerkraut is best finely shredded. Enjoy this slivered specialty of the Old World with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of German cuisine and butcher shop at Huller's Black Forest.

With more than 40 years of experience tucked into their lederhosen, the culinary team at Huller's Black Forest whisks tongues away to an Oktoberfest–themed tastescape by crafting a multifarious dinner menu of German specialties. Tame carnivorous cravings with a variety of meaty entrees, such as the wiener schnitzel ($13.95) or hausmacher goulash ($13.95), which features succulent cuts of slow-cooked prime beef alongside a mound of homemade spaetzle. For meals more American than a bald eagle hitting a home run, order from the steaks and chops menu, which boasts succulent slabs of barbecue ribs ($12.95), filet mignon ($16.95/ 9-oz.; $19.95 /12-oz.), and twin thick-cut pork chops ($12.95). After browsing the restaurant's on-site butcher shop, parched patrons can irrigate their schnitzel depositories by sipping on a premium draught ($3–$9) or bottle ($3.95–$8.95) of German beer.
