Seeing Steve Buscemi on screen is like getting to a party and discovering that your friends hired a caterer; his professionalism makes him an automatic confidence booster for audiences. That's not to say there's any guarantee about his surroundings.

Domino's won't say why exactly they took this dramatic step, but I suspect that the company realized they needed to pre-empt rivals scrambling to supplant them as America's worst-case dinner option. "The competition is incredibly fierce," McIntyre says. "We saw that consumers' tastes changed, that they do evolve, that there's more competition." (See the top 10 food trends...
