Problem: Oh Maizie's, I've always had a love/hate relationship with you. My first visit to Maizie's had me hunting for their Inside Out cheeseburgers. I'd heard raves and praises. I was psyched. Meh. Nothing special. In fact, it was a bit of a disaster. The more I ate, the more I felt like a 5-year-old had invented this concept. It's not as good as it sounds. Believe me. The service was equally disappointing. After pleas from my staple dining companion, I went back for an afternoon lunch and cocktail. What a turnaround! Great Blackened Steak Salad. It paired nicely with a honey bourbon concoction. Packs a nice savory/sweet punch! Service still sucked, but I was willing to overlook it. Phoenix ambiance, snobby Scottsdale-like service. I went back several times for the salad and cocktail. It was on my dining rotation. Then, recently, we decided to grab takeout. Bad idea. The server on the other end of the phone sounded annoyed that we were calling! She barked that they weren't serving the salad any longer. Mmm, okkkay. Snap decisions led me to their regular burger, hoping that I wouldn't regret. I also was willing to forgive the crappy service. Maybe she was slammed? Arrive for pickup. Sure enough, slammed. Ok, ok. I'll let it go. Excited to enjoy my burger, I dive in immediately after arriving home. Meh. In fact, below meh. Delux, it was not. Floppy ciabatta bread, greasy burger, plain and underwhelming. In fact, I would've preferred my grandmother's burger. And believe me, my Salvadoran grandmother made HORRIBLE burgers. Maizies, unless I'm dining or drinking with a crowd and overruled, you won't be seeing me anytime soon.

Problem: Had the opportunity to eat at il Capo Pizzeria and will say that I will be back. It was Sat evening and they were fairly quiet...they are newer yet so hopefully as word spreads business will pickup. As I browsed the menu posted outside a few of the staff would stop and ask if I had any questions or needed any help, but not in that annoying obnoxious way some staff can be. They were very friendly. I decided to eat on the patio which is dog friendly. This doesn't bother me but an FYI if that is something that bothers you before you decide to choose to sit outside. Our server was very friendly and helpful. When we asked about the salads he suggested that we could probably split (between 2 of us) one rather than each of us getting our own. We got the Caesar with chicken add-on. The chicken was plentiful and the quantity of dressing was just right...the romaine was not drowning in it. We then split the Cacciare wood fired pizza. Our server explained how to oven was imported from Naples. Let me say, it was absolutely worth it. The pizza crust was exquisite and cooked perfectly with very flavorful toppings. On the downside they were out of some of the SanTan brews...good to see people drinking local but disappointed none available during our visit.

Problem: I love this place! The Arizona burger is perfect! This is the burger joint that I bring my family and friends from out of town! I love the convenience of the location as well! Very yummy food! The smash fries are the best and a must order when you go! Once in a while I will treat myself to a shake but sometimes it is hard to resist! Also it is right across from the Camden #apartments that I live at so it is a great go to for a Burger night or quick lunch!Thumbs up Smashburger! #scottsdaleaz #scottsdalelife #camdenliving #camdenlegacy

Problem: Yellow Cab has put a lot of time and effort into attempting to get Lyft and Uber shut down, but when they had an opportunity to shine and show they are a worthy transportation service, they failed miserably. In an effort to be a responsible adult while still enjoying the 4th of July festivities downtown, I decided to forgo driving and rely on public transportation. HUGE mistake. Attempting to get home after the fireworks was a complete debacle. The buses were overfull and there were NO taxis to be seen. The few I did see driving around were not taking fares. My attempts to call the Yellow Cab company were met with an hour's worth of busy signal. It took us over two hours to figure out how we'd get home. Due to some minor issues with the "service" (I use this term loosely) I was slightly annoyed with them, but now I truly, sincerely, with every ounce of my being HATE Yellow Cab. If they want to shut down ride sharing, they need to actually have a functioning presence in the city!
