What’s a grill-E, you might well ask? Nothing to do with Wall-E, I’m afraid.
Grill restaurants have been trendy of late, probably because grilled food is quick and easy to prepare and reminds people of backyard barbecues, festivals and camping trips.
Well, that’s ‘grills’ for you. If you consult your handy neighbourhood dictionary, it will tell you that a grill with an e on the end is a type of fancy metal framework placed over a car radiator or drain.
It’s nothing to do with a sodding steak or burger!
However, thanks to bad spelling, nowadays it has also come to denote a bar or restaurant serving grilled food. But only a very posh sort of joint, like the Blue Parrot on Piccadilly Gardens.
