Making food from scratch typically requires advance preparation, adherence to a recipe, and your third and final genie wish. Save the third wish for more wishes with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of American fare at J and J Café in Grafton.

Chef Joe Sorbello fashions a menu of classic American fare and house-made creations at J and J Café. Midday diners avoid digging the family lunch pail out of the attic and instead opt for the café's signature Devil'd Dogs, hot dogs stuffed with deviled ham and then cloaked in crispy bacon ($4.99). Other noontime nourishment includes a bowl of venison chili ($6.99) and the house-made mac ‘n‘ cheese accompanied by two grilled kielbasas ($7.99). J and J Café also appeases appetites earlier and later in the day, with breakfast and dinner selections available. Opt for breakfast favorites such as buttermilk pancakes, french toast, and egg dishes, or pack up protein for a day of marathon sonnet writing with the house-made corned beef hidden beneath two poached eggs ($7.99). Dinner dishes include the 12-ounce bone-in pork chop, doused with gravy and barricaded by sides of roasted potatoes and asparagus ($12.99). Additionally, the create-your-own pizza ($6.99 for six pieces; $8.99 for eight pieces) grants eaters naming rights and a choice of red or white sauce ladled beneath two toppings.
