Years ago when I worked at Bob Evans they had steel grills and then got in a chromed grill. It was way easy to clean at the end of the night. You’d just put water and some powder on it and it would wipe clean. The steel grills you had to wire brush it and scrub it with some steel wool.

However I don’t think the food tasted as good on the chromed grill.

Man I hated restaurant work!
