To my knowledge, the first contact grill introduced to the US was a
beautifully designed model made in France. I bought one at Bridge
Kitchenware in NYC in 1993. After using it for about a month, I took it to
Goodwill. It was actually a better design than the GF, but a cleaning
nightmare.

plenty of counter and storage space. I can hardly wait. <g>
