Ok Bob - what have you got for a new pizza concept?
Boss - I got a winner! A certified, gold plated winner!
I'm all ears Bob - what IS IT?
We create a pizza place where customers buy the pizza raw and have to cook it themselves!
Why would someone want to do that? Is it cheaper?
Nope - it's actually more expensive!
Well, does it taste better made at home?
Nope, amateurs cook it at home in ovens that can't get a high enough temperature!
Well, is it faster?
Nope, between watching it be made, taking it home and cooking it, it takes way longer!
So Bob, I'm confused - why would something like this be successful?
Boss - we tell 'em that if they don't buy it and cook it at home, they don't love their family.
Bob?
Boss?
You're fired.
Who is next to feel the bony hand of Death?

The Little Cheese Shop that Couldn't
The Wedge and Bottle Cheese Shop in Ahwatukee has slipped under the waves and is no more. This place was actually great - and didn't deserve to end up in the Ahwatukee Bowl Swirler. Sandwiched between a pop-up vacuum repair place and a dog food store, you knew that death was going to visit sooner or later. It closes for good on June 30th. Too big to fail? Too good to fail? Too small to matter? It matters not in the Tuk....

Arbys - Thinly Sliced Death
The Arby's at Chandler and 42nd has ground to a thinly sliced halt and is no more. Signs down, building gutted within minutes of closing. Arby's was always one of those "once a year" places - and I guess I wasn't the only one. The funeral pyre created some curly smoke, but alas - this one is done. The Beast that is Ahwatukee claims another soul....
