A lot has been happening lately with the Serial Grillers/Transplant Pizza folks. In early 2025, the masterminds behind Serial Grillers welcomed Chef Travis Peters (formerly of The Parish) as an equity partner. Some of the newbies on the menu are chopped cheese sandwiches and fried chicken sandwiches — hand-breaded in-house — with fun flavors like a kimchi fried chicken and their version of a Detroit hot chicken.
