Although the food at Grafton is not cheap, there is still a wide range of options for the frugal diner. Both lunch and dinner menus feature a range of wood-fired pizzas and sandwiches ($7.95-$9.95), as well as a superior chicken Caesar salad ($7.95), that might be wise alternatives, both gastronomically and financially, to the somewhat fussy entrees.

Mom grouses. "Doing the dishes, washing the windows, burying the dead!") "I think any warm and fuzzy image of the past is wrong," says creator Howard...
