The Hulls
Dorianne (Drogin '11) and Matt Hull

œMy husband, Matt, has always loved bringing people together through food and cooking, and we both share a passion for elegant tools and instruments, notes Dorianne (Drogin ™11) Hull. œWith the help of another alumnus, Liam Collins (™13), we founded to combine craftsmanship with community by producing grilling tools that will last ” and enrich ” a lifetime.

The Hulls™ business makes heirloom-quality grilling tools, inspired by originals inherited from Mr. Hull™s grandfather and designed to last for decades. Each one is hand-forged in the USA and backed with a lifetime warranty. As their website aptly puts it, œThey are rugged and made to be passed down, not tossed out.

The company is named, or course, for St. Lawrence, who was famously martyred on a grill, and who joked with his tormentors by saying, œTurn me over. I™m done on this side! The third-century deacon is œthe patron saint of cooks, grilling and comedians ¦ known for his sense of humor and love of the poor, the Hulls™ website observes. œWe aim to do him proud.
