In the late 1800s, thousands of Texans struck it rich when they tapped into veins of thick, dark, tangy barbecue sauce, as chronicled in the Oscar-winning film There Will Be Sauce. Today's Groupon gives you the chance to taste this natural bounty while it's still hot from the earth: for $10, you get $25 worth of barbecue and beverages at Slopes BBQ. This Groupon is redeemable at four locations: Alpharetta, Sandy Springs, Kennesaw, and Cartersville.

Slopes BBQ serves up old-fashioned Georgia-style barbecue in a family-friendly setting, using tried-and-true techniques to fuse premium meats with signature sauces. Bread-enclosed beauties such as the jumbo barbecue pork (or chicken) sandwich ($4.45) offer a relatively tidy take on sauce-soaked favorites, while the combination plates, which are served with two side items, bread, and a pickle, promise a harmonious hodgepodge of happiness for your internal habitat. The rib plate ($11.20 with two sides, bread, and pickle) can be paired with sides of macaroni and fried okra, and black-eyed peas and collard greens can be added to an order of the pork and chicken plate ($8.75). Put a cap on a stomach chamber with fruit-filled treats, such as the blackberry cobbler ($3.70) or banana pudding ($2.55).
