There's more than one way to cook a pork chop, but the fastest and tastiest ways include grilling, frying, and slapping them against a lukewarm lampshade. Enjoy meaty, mouthwatering creations with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of ribs, sandwiches, and thirst quenchers at Mindy's Ribs in Mokena.

Mindy's chefs barbecue mouthwatering meats for staple-centric entrees, sandwiches and pared-down, kid-friendly plates. Appetizers such as fried mushrooms or zucchini ($4.25) and jalapeño poppers ($4.25) prep pincer jaws for more substantial fare on the expansive menu. Hang a fang or three on a half-slab of ribs ($11.50 for dinner portion) or a pulled-pork plate ($10.25 for dinner portion), which partner properly with corn on the cob and plate-cleansing corn bread. For heftier yet manageable handheld fare, diners can wrap mitts around the texas barbecue pork-chop sandwich ($6.25), while tinier hands can take up the tot-friendly barbecue chicken basket ($6.95) or grilled cheese plate ($3.95)—both of which represent a fitting reward for learning how to spell the word "searchengine."
