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.
