You need to have a few points in your Cooking skill (don't remember the exact number) first before the food options become available: Hotdogs, Burgers, and Ribs.

...you also needed a stocked fridge, if it wasn't obvious :P

I don't think you need much cooking skill points to grill stuff - and you can only use the grill during what Maxis deemed to be lunchtime and dinnertime for sims ie. from around 11am to 2am, so you can forget about hot dogs for breakfast! lol...seriously, I believe you only need 1 cooking skill point to grill hot dogs. Not sure how much for burgers, but for the ribs I believe your cooking skill needs to be at around 7.

Oh, right - forgot about the time limitations.

...wasn't there a hack once to allow for grilling anytime day or night?

Not that I'm aware of...I suggest we go and harass Squinge if nobody can find one.

Does your sim have enough cooking skills to be able to grill ribs?

Here is a little chart taken from Snooty sims, I am sure it will help a few of you:  Snooty sims food chart with skills (http://www.snootysims.com/infoindex.php?id=food)

For those who asked there used to be a mod called breakfast at midnight that allowed you to cook any thing your cooking skills allowed at any time of day. That was a long time ago so I am not sure it got updated after uni or not.

*snaps her fingers* That was the name of that hack I was thinking of. Thanks, billyd! A little searching turned it up at MTS2:

Breakfast at Midnight:

...judging from the replies in the thread, it should work regardless of what EPs you have.

Edit
Works just fine with Pets too. A few food choices are missing, namely Ribs, but eh...no big problem.
