Hungry for a good deal? If you’ve got $10 and a lunch break coming up, we’ve got recommendations:
Order a pulled pork, sliced smoked turkey, or bologna sandwich. Not feeling a sandwich, but still want something filling? Consider the barbecue baked potato or a bowl of brisket chili.
The concept’s cozy interior will have you wanting to enjoy a sandwich (chicken salad and pimento cheese) and drink in person, but the drive-thru is also an option if you’re short on time.
Your $10 (and some change) goes a long way at Waldo’s, considering the fried and fire-roasted chicken plates come with two sides and a cheddar biscuit.
Do you have a bourbon lover in your life? Gift this Box Of Bourbon from Adams Apple Co. for National Bourbon day. The set includes a marinade and grilling sauce, made ready for a barbecue.
