Why do they call it the gridiron?
It is also sometimes known as "gridiron football". This name originates with the sport's characteristic playing field,
which is marked by a series of parallel lines along the width of the field in a pattern resembling a cooking gridiron.

As a chef I would think you should know this. A gridiron is a grilling pan or basket with parallel lines The early displayed lines of the football field resembled the lines of a gridiron, thus the name.

I honestly had no idea. I’ve been calling it gridiron football all my life and never really thought about the origin.

Now I want to find one of those gridirons. I love cooking with my cast iron and that looks dangerous good. I've been cooking since I was seven and have cooked every meal for 31 years of marriage ... except for those rare occasions we go out for birthdays or the anniversary. That's why I love cruising so much! I get EVERY meal cooked for me.
