Though charcoal drawing was once the dominant artistic medium in America, precious few masterworks survived the realization that those early portraits could be crumpled up and used to smoke delicious stacks of ribs. Honor forgotten artists with today’s Groupon to Ginopolis Bar-B-Q Smokehouse. Choose between the following options:

• For $10, you get $20 worth of barbecue fare and drinks for lunch.
For $25, you get $50 worth of barbecue fare and drinks for dinner.

The grilling gurus at Ginopolis pile platters with smoky barbecue standards and specialties including racks of ribs and southern-style sandwiches. Cincinnati’s world-renowned Montgomery Inn barbecue ribs, basted with Rib’s King sauce, constitute the menu’s main event because of the tender, tangy tastiness and show-stopping fire-baton routine. Ribs arrive in half slab ($18.99) or full slab ($24.99) variations accompanied by sides ranging from creamy coleslaw to smashed sweet potatoes. The eatery’s selection of sandwiches includes the pulled-chicken sandwich, in which farm-raised chicken, cheddar cheese, and spicy onion straws nestle on artisan brioche or texas toast ($8.99). Meals end on a happy note thanks to the distribution of tuning forks and desserts such as warm bread pudding soaked in whiskey ($4.99).

Guests feast within a 10,000 square-foot dining room, where booths, tables, and high tops sidle up to a full bar. Ten plasma TVs entertain diners with televised sock-darning demonstrations, and an outside patio lets guests smack their chops merrily in the open air.
