I've never grilled grits, but I have grilled polenta - It's a good use for th leftovers.

As a northerner, I never had grits before I joined the Army. I usually had them with biscuit gravy on top (I know, but I'm a northerner, so it's expected) but the mess sergeant never offered to grill them for me. ;-)

I never ate them until the Army as well. As far as Army cuisine goes I always hated the overcooked vegtables, cooking eggs in bacon grease, and boiling meat not meant to be boiled.

I never eat grits now, after all; cream of wheat is much better, and can be mixed with milk and honey better then those incomprihensible grits.

I grew up in New England, and they know better than to eat that sort of thing generally there.
