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. You get your choice of home-style meals at Timmy's Pizza & BBQ in Garrett:

• For $7, you get $15 worth of dine-in eats
• For $7, you get $20 worth of holiday turkey or ham

Timmy's commercial hickory smoke rotisserie fights criminally bland flavor and sates seasoning-starved citizens by slowly heating up a menu of barbecue meats, pizzas, grinders, and more. Carnivores can lock fingers in a sticky-sweet embrace with a Flintstone-toppling slab of ribs ($8.99 half, $16.99 full) or practice edible fractions on pointed palate-piquing slices of original pizzas such as Timmy's Train Wreck ($11.75)—a tragically delicious collision of pulled pork, banana peppers, bacon, and tomatoes covered with a layer of Timmy's secret sauce. Free up extra time to open presents on Christmas morning or push your Thanksgiving belt to its very last hastily added notch with a pre-purchased ham ($6.99 per pound), whole turkey ($4.99 per pound), or turkey breasts ($4.99 per pound) cleared of cartilage for carving convenience.
