Half off at Mike Anderson's BBQ - Get the Cobbler as a Side, I just drooled on my keyboard

This is from the Groupon Cut & Paster Department again, but I can vouch for the fact this place has great BBQ and Mike is awesome. Plus, the side choices are amazing and super yummy (yes, you can do a plate of just sides). Oh, and cobbler counts as a side. Nom, nom, nom. Here's the deal from Groupon:

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: for $15, you get $30 worth of barbecue fare and drinks at Mike Anderson's BBQ.


Mike Anderson personally carves each of the hickory-smoke-laden barbecue masterpieces that fill the convivial, cafeteria-style restaurant with a bouquet of rich aromas. The menu's shining star, the dinner plate ($12.50), delights carnivores more than a temp job piloting the Wienermobile with a trio of meats basking in the warm glow of texas toast. Choose from overnight-smoked beef brisket, dry-rubbed and basted ribs, tenderly serenaded pulled pork, and a dream team of other smokehouse jewels before selecting a harmonious side dish accompaniment ($2.75 for a la carte orders). House-made jalapeño pinto beans launch soaring arias and spicy finger-snaps at double-breaded fried okra; a cornucopia of sandwiches ($5–$7) conceals polish sausage, smoked turkey, and more in endearingly soft bun-fortresses.

Get. This. Deal. Now.

Must have been in The Two Towers.

Yummy Sushi Dinner for 2 at Axiom for only $35!

I can vouch for this place. The Sig-O and I have been there several times. The sushi is great and the people watching alone is worth the trip. Now, I kindly present this deal from the Cut and Paste via Travelzoo Division:

Axiom Sushi Lounge (formerly Fin Sushi Lounge) was opened six months ago by owners of the popular Sushi Axiom restaurants, which earn an "extraordinary to perfection" (26) rating on Zagat for "creative, well-crafted" rolls. The new Axiom Sushi Lounge brings the same impressive menu and decor to the hip Ilume complex off Oak Lawn Avenue. For $35, experience this new hot spot with a dinner for two, regularly $78.

Begin with a salad each -- choose from the spring mix salad with field greens, cherry tomatoes and honey ginger dressing, or sunomo salad with cucumbers, shrimp, octopus, crab and vinegar soy dressing.

Then, select any three signature rolls or two entrees, such as:

• Hidden Dragon, a roll recommended by the Dallas Observer with crawfish, scallions, jalapenos, cream cheese, avocado and sriracha chili

• Hamachi Heaven with spicy crab meat, tempura fried tiger shrimp, yellow tail, cherry tomatoes and ponzu sauce

• Lobster roll with avocado, cucumber, lobster, masago, scallions, radish sprouts, spicy mayo and sweet soy sauce

Or instead, select any two entrees, such as:

• Maui fried rice, a dish recommended by owner Tony Nguyen, which comes served in half a pineapple

• Pan-seared Chiliean sea bass in a sweet miso sauce

End the meal with any shared dessert, like tempura ice cream
