| 6/21/22 | #56: When your Biggest Competitor is Inertia | City red tape seems so baked into American life, that it stopped being a problem people even bothered trying to solve. But when Covid hit, it forced the opportunity for change.

With some savvy social media, the company’s core product – an ultra durable three-piece pan set – is becoming a sensation with the slow food set. Its no-nonsense anti-coating, American-made vibe has led to design awards, a deal with Williams Sonoma and features in Food & Wine Magazine.
