When they say "grill," they likely mean "flattop," i.e., griddle.

yeah, I know. But a griddle is not a flattop, either!

I have found that names don't seem to mean much in the restaurant business -
anything can be called anything close or "similar".

That's the kind of misunderstanding that happens when people go
overboard usurping the word "barbecue".

Back in the day when I worked in a restaurant, the "flattop" was called
a grill... and the guy cooking on it was often called the Grillman.

My favorite name for a piece of equipment in the kitchen was the
"salamander". Wonder how a broiler got that name.

LOL... Reminds me of a stupid joke I saw in an Australian movie quite a
few years ago. Many times through the movie someone asked why Italians
don't BBQ, and near the end of the movie it was answered.... because
the spaghetti falls through the grill.

There is a lot of stuff that McDonalds calls food that I would consider
to be worth buying, so it doesn't surprise me that they could confuse
such simple concepts as grilling and frying. Perhaps they want to
slightly mislead people about the healthiness of the process, perhaps
the fired egg white is not really fried.

I hear that's why Mexicans use refried beans rather than BBQ beans.

I agree. Oddly, that is one piece of equipment that seems to get called by
its name, consistently.

Do a search on how it got its name. I didn't feel like cutting an pasting,
but it is out there.

"Grilled" sounds more appealing than "fried." "White cheddar" sounds
better than "nasty processed cheese food material." I saw that on the
picture menu in a McDonald's last week, and was repulsed even though it
was on one of those slick back-lit professional photo-transparencies.
I'll take a fried egg over grilled egg whites any day of the week except
maybe Tuesday.

That's food for you in 2013. Just eating the white of an egg is getting
trendy. These days, it's OK to eat Egg Beaters without requiring any
pretensions of color. I guess being blind has some advantages.

yeah, but give these folks an omelet or a frittata or quiche with a few
extra egg yolks thrown in, and they will rave about how good it is.

"Modern electric or gas salamanders take their name from the earlier
salamander, an iron disc on a handle which is heated and placed over a
dish to brown it, which in turn is named after the legendary salamander,
an amphibian that was mythically believed to be immune to fire."

That's the way it is around here. If you're at a steakhouse, it's safe
to assume that it's an fire grill. It's a context thing.

Salamanders used to be mythical creatures that lived in fire. Probably
it was inspired by Europeans bringing back tales of these amphibians
that they saw while exploring. That's what I remember anyway.

I'm not sure what kind of person would eat a grilled egg white. I
imagine them to be really lanky types. The next time I'm in a
McDonald's, I'll be on the lookout for some skinny guy and check out
what he's eating. This might take a while...

Gotta interject and say that white "processed cheese food material" is
pretty danged tasty... as are their newish "grilled" onions.

Thanks for the info. I don't have any knowledge of white cheddar but if
it's in their grilled onion burger, I've had it and it tastes like
American cheese. That's fine with me.

Actually, a grilled or fried or griddled onion burger would look pretty
spiffy with a piece of white cheese substance on it. Hopefully, they'll
find more new uses for this material.

You separate the yolk and white, pour the white on yer head, then slam
yer head down onto the grill. Don't forget to put a 30lb weight on
yer head to keep yer brain from curling up.

What is the difference between a griddle and a flattop? They both fry
or sauté with very little grease.

technically, a flattop is a stove that doesn't have burners per se but has
different heat zones on its flat top. You would move your pots to the area
with the temperature you wanted - typically lower in the back for long term
cooking, hotter up front for quick sautéing, etc. I don't think they are in
use much any more.

But, as I said, it has been my experience that kitchen people, even
professionals, call anything anything, so you have to know what THEY mean.

I've never seen a fry cook use very little grease although I suppose
that it's possible.

I have had the grilled onion burger. For a dollar, it suits me just
fine. I wish I had one right now. Well, I'd like one right now but that
probably wouldn't be a good idea since I just had a couple of root canal
procedures done this morning. My wife asked me what the dentist said
about my teeth. I said "That'll be $500."

This looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Yes sir, only
the beginning. :-)

It's kind of hard to keep a large amount of grease in one spot on a
flat surface.

That isn't much for a couple root canals, unless that is only your
portion of the expense and insurance picks up the rest.

We do not get it that cheap in Mexico, a root canal, post and crown is
$400, for one tooth.

Damn, I forgot to ask my wife for a 500 dollar check. Insurance pays for
60% and he gives me $200 off cause we're buddies but my guess is that
it's gonna cost me about $500 more. Boy teeth are sure expensive!

My dentist is pretty slick though. He's a master with the xylocaine.
Other dentists are like butchers, pumping drugs into you until one side
of your face is dead to the world. He does a good job at using a little
xylo at the right spots. He spent quite a while working in there. He had
a couple of electronic probes, a TV camera, a small hand-held drill and
a root canal drill stuck in my poor little mouth. He might have even
stuck a microphone in there at one point. :-)

Are you saying that fry cooks use very little grease/oil when they cook?
My observation is the opposite. That's the breaks.

Wow, nice buddy Teeth are expensive, but I bet you agree they are worth
it! Just think of the alternative ...

His office is next to mine - he better give me a discount! They're
expensive, and worth it alright. I try to never leave home without 'em!

Are you kidding? Dentistry is a lot more lucrative than mere blackmail.
