Though barbecue sauce can be used to power tractors or grease slip ‘n’ slides, it’s best for making beans sing and chickens dance. Start a party on the tongue’s floor with today’s Groupon to Michon’s Restaurant in College Park. Choose between the following options: For $25, you get a southern dinner for two (up to a $56.52 total value).

Elect a culinary companion and embark on a dinner odyssey, first roaming the dewy depths of a house salad. Slow-roasted rib meat saunters off of bones and into mouths practicing their Home Alone impressions, and seafaring selections include an 8-ounce grilled Pacific salmon fillet. Each diner may also choose two from more than 10 sides, including mashed potatoes and an airy sweet-potato soufflé. Noontime patrons may sate hunger with any of the lunch entrees, such as Michon’s celebrated smoked chicken wings. Friendly servers can convey upscale southern cuisine to diners relaxing in the breezy dining room or out on the breezier patio. Michon’s feasts are often accompanied by live jazz music, which may cause overconfident rib tips to commandeer mournful saxophones for an improvisational solo dripping in tangy barbeque sauce. Check the restaurant’s event page for details on regular happenings such as jazzy summer Sundays.
