  1. All the talk about the George Forman (I happen to hate my Hamilton
    knock-off, BTW'; there's nothing "grill like" about it.) But the GF must
    have caused this.

    http://www.tritonhealth.com/hulk-hogan-grill.php

    The Hulk Hogan Ultimate Grill grill is not only a grill but a pizza
    oven/quesadilla baker, waffle iron and lord knows what else (according to
    the "AS SEEN ON TV!"😉. Yes, apparently it can do everything except clean
    itself. And look! Only $149.97! (When did it stop being .95 and turn into
    ..97?!) All this for just $149.97! Run, don't walk! to buy your Hulk Hogan
    "grill" NOW!

    Remember those pet rocks someone mentioned a few days ago? If I had one I'd
    gladly sell it to you right now for the one time low, low price of $50.

    Its a testimony about the power of marketing. The GF was a grill that no
    one wanted. The marketer brought in GF and cut him in. Then they
    started pimping it on every TV station and sold zillions of them. Then
    they gave him a box of money to buy him out.

    Its the same phenomena that makes people pack into big box restaurants
    down by the mall.

    Oh, sorry! I haven't seen the Hope Diamond since I was 7. School field
    trip when I lived in Virginia. Nice blue diamond. Going back to take a nap
    with my cat now. <G>

    Coming full circle:

    <q Wiki>

    In an interview on the Tonight Show, Hogan claimed that the George
    Foreman grill was originally offered to him, but he failed to respond in
    time, thus allowing Foreman to use his endorsement. This was backed up
    by an episode of Hogan Knows Best, in which his wife Linda and the
    family are worried about Hogan's wrestling career and plead with him to
    take up a career in marketing.[9] Hulk explains about turning down the
    Foreman grill, and his choice to invest in a shake-mixer instead, saying
    that whenever he thinks about investing in something "big", he thinks
    about what happened with the grill and the shake-mixer. However, he has
    since endorsed a similar product known as "Hulk Hogan's Ultimate Grill."

    Does it come with a swell "gravy boat" like George's does?

    Ah. Okay. You said nothing about drilling down, so it appeared that
    your response was about the page that was linked.

    I have pop-up blockers installed so I never saw anything distracting other
    than the advertisement itself. Anyway, my post was in jest since I sure
    didn't want anyone to actually *buy* this product. LOL

    The popup blocker didn't deflect with the cookie request (which cookie,
    as I said, wasn't mandatory for *that* page). Your browser cookie
    settings did.

    Actually the grill looks pretty good. 🙂

    I don't see anything discussed or illustrated about if/how it drains.

    It must drain *somehow*! At any rate, for an "indoor grill" the price seems
    quite exhorbitant. If I can't use my Webber Kettle I'd rather just use the
    broiler setting in my oven and an inexpensive slotted broiler pan.

    My buddy watched the video at the Hogan site and said that it, in his
    words, "shows that it has a drainage hole that goes into a tray that
    slides into the bottom of the unit."

    It's about $30 more than the Cuisinart that tried hard to romance me
    away from the Foreman grills when I was shopping. I really dug the
    Cuisinart for its griddle/handle/hinge design that would work better
    with thicker cuts of meat.

    http://www.cuisinart.com/catalog/product.php?product_id=295&item_id=397&cat_id=341

    = http://tinyurl.com/zarpn

    While in that photo it looks like the handle *and* top griddle are
    hinged at the back of the unit, it's actually only the *handle* that's
    hinged there. The top griddle is hinged only at its middle, and only to
    the middle of the handle, so the top can float. So that when you close
    it it's always going to rest evenly on your meat, and with the long
    throw of that handle it will be able to take thicker pieces.
