Burgabox is the Perfect Grilling Feast for Father’s Day

The enthusiasm for the hamburger cuts through Chuck Sillari’s thick Boston accent like a steak knife through a sirloin.

As one of the co-founders of mini empire, Boston Burger Co., you’d expect nothing less. The Boston native is at the helm of a business that has three locations across Massachusetts, plus nine in the works across the Middle East.

As his burger bounty grew, though, Sillari saw his next opportunity almost by accident. He recalls, “We were in the office one day and one of our employees had a Hello Fresh box delivered. I thought ‘this can’t be real’ – people are getting groceries delivered by FedEx?”

That was in early 2016. He’d spend the next six months developing a way to package and send his famous Boston burgers around the country. That September, BurgaBox was born.

The concept is similar to the general meal-delivery service: place an order online and within 48 hours a bounty of goodness will arrive at your doorstep. You can choose between an interval delivery subscription and a one-time delivery.

That’s just about where the similarities end. Where the major players pride themselves on healthy, sustainable options, BurgaBox is a gluttonous feast.

Prospective buyers can peruse through a number of options with names like “The Hot Mess (bacon, sweet potato fries, jalapeño) and their most popular, “The WTF Burger” (onion ring, pulled pork, pickles). Each box comes with two gigantic burgers and a bevy of sides.

It’s not just a smattering of over-the-top food plopped in a box either. Everything comes from Burgabox’s own kitchen, including their lauded mac and cheese, which is loaded with pulled pork. (Sillari says a new flavor of the side is in development monthly).

People are coming back too.

“We see more than 70% of our buyers return,” Sillari estimates. “Once they’ve tried it, people are referring others or buying boxes as gifts.”

Burgabox is a continually evolving culinary beast. Sillari says they’re working on a new West Coast distribution center, which will make delivery even faster to those on the other side of the country.

The Burger Show’s Alvin Cailan Shares His Burger-Making Secrets
Chef Alvin Cailan

The hamburger is a staple of American comfort food and with Labor Day Weekend coming up, there is no better time to indulge in one or four. No matter where you go -- a barbecue, a drive-thru, or even if you get takeout from an upscale bistro -- you're likely to find some iteration of a burger on the menu these days, featuring everything from generic yellow cheese to truffle mayo and more.

While the customizable nature of the burger definitely contributes to its popularity, there’s something to be said for learning how to make a classic, straightforward, Platonic-ideal version of this flame-broiled wonder. And that’s a pursuit that Chef Alvin Cailan knows very well. On The Burger Show, Chef Alvin travels the country in search of must-try patty creations, and at his laid-back NYC restaurant The Usual and his iconic Los Angeles eatery Eggslut, Cailan serves up traditional burgers with clever twists, all made from top-quality ingredients.

Pistachio coffee is the hot flavor, and shows no signs of slowing down
The rise of the pistachio coffee trend

Pistachios have been having a moment over the last couple of years. The momentum shows no signs of slowing down, according to Heba Mahmoud, Head of Innovation at Elmhurst 1925. Business Research Insights 2025 data suggests that the pistachio surge goes hand-in-hand with the rise of health, wellness, plant-based, and functionality-focused consumer trends. Pistachio coffee's savory flavor offers just the right blend of nuttiness and creaminess, adding an unexpected twist to a traditional cup of coffee. Here's what Mahmoud shared about this hot coffee flavor and where the market may be headed.
When did pistachio coffee first start trending?

"Pistachio coffee is quickly becoming one of the hottest trends in the market, and it’s easy to see why. It brings together two beloved favorites – the nutty flavor of pistachios and the bold kick of coffee or espresso – into an aromatic, irresistibly smooth cup. Beyond the flavor, health-conscious consumers are also fueling the market for pistachio-infused everything, from chocolate to lattes," she says.
"Pistachios’ naturally rich flavor profile made them a standout ingredient, and when paired with coffee – a longtime consumer favorite – the result was an instant hit. The subtle sweetness and earthy complexity of pistachios offer a sophisticated twist on the typical flavored latte, aligning perfectly with the shift toward clean-label, plant-based options," says Mahmoud. As head of innovation at Elmhurst 1925, Mahmoud helped lead the brand to become the top-selling pistachio milk and creamer on the market over the last year. Today, the brand offers various pistachio-inspired coffee pairings, such as the Pistachio Barista Edition and Pistachio Crème Latte.
