Why Fewer People are Buying Grills to Barbecue at Home

When it comes to summertime grilling, the stakes are high. The sun is blazing, kids are running wild, everyone is hungry, and all eyes are on you while you tend to an open fire. No big deal, right? While burgers have a reputation for being an easy option to serve when curating a cookout menu, they are incredibly hard to do well, especially at scale. You have hot spots to contend with and flare-ups to manage, knowing that just a couple of minutes separate a perfectly cooked burger from one that looks and tastes more like a hockey puck. That said, in my opinion, the payoff of a perfectly cooked burger is worth the cortisol surge of (wo)manning the grill. One has not experienced true joy until they have nailed a tray of beautifully cooked-medium burgers.

When you think of American pizza chains, a few big names probably come to mind. Domino's and Pizza Hut are a familiar site in practically every U.S. city, and names like Little Caesars and Papa John's are right up there as well. You would probably assume that one of these giants is the biggest pizza chain in America, but you'd be wrong about that. The pizza chain with the most locations in the U.S. is Hunt Brothers Pizza, yet despite its dominant position, there's a strong chance you've never even heard of it.
