An
outdoor cookstove used to
cook hamburgers,
hot dogs,
shish kebabs, and
barbecue steaks. They typically consist of a
shallow pit (for placing
charcoal,
mesquite chips,
lighter fluid, and other
fire-related items, including
fire), a
cooking surface of
parallel metal bars, and a metal
lid.
Also, the act of
cooking food on a grill.
Also, a kind of
restaurant featuring food cooked on a grill, or at least allegedly cooked on a grill. Commonly combined with a
bar so that it may be called a
bar and grill. Also commonly featuring various
tacky souvenirs and
knickknacks stuck on the walls,
chipper college-age
waitstaff bedecked in
buttons,
pins, and
ribbons, and a large variety of
fruity drinks and
margaritas.
Let's not forget: it's also a metal or
plastic grating, usually
decorative, covering a
window or the
front end of a
car. On your car, it's the place where you have to pick all the
dead bugs out of when you
wash it.
And finally, the act of
relentlessly
interrogating or
cross-examining someone.
