Amy's Baking Company Bonanza: The Best of the Worst

[TacoTaru]

This has been a hilarious way to keep me awake midday. Company is having a total meltdown on Facebook. Comments are archived on the link to this article, I'll link their Facebook page as well.

On last Friday night's episode of Kitchen Nightmares, shouty chef Gordon Ramsay quit after the delusional owners of the Scottsdale restaurant Amy's Baking Company proved to be beyond saving. After receiving a social media spanking — see, for example, the deluge of one-star rankings on Yelp or the thread on Reddit's /r/cringepics — yesterday Amy and Samy Bouzaglo, the husband and wife team behind the restaurant, fought back on their Facebook account.

Often in all-caps, the owners go after "the Yelpers and Reddits [sic]" and their "WITCH HUNT," calling them "trash," "pathetic," and "OPRESSORS [sic]." As for selling pre-made frozen raviolis that Ramsay 86'd, they rationalize: "IT IS NOT UNCOMMON TO RESELL THINGS WALMART DOES NOT MAKE THEIR ELECTRONICS OR TOYS SO LAY OFF!!!!"

They're also threatening legal action "for this plot you have come together on." They don't seem to realize that they could just lock down their Facebook page and prevent people from writing on their wall. They write, "THIS IS MY FACEBOOK, AND I AM NOT ALLOWING YOU TO USE MY COMPANY ON YOUR HATE FILLED PAGE." It's all so very extreme that it seems almost like a parody fake account. Kitchen Nightmares might be full of total fakery, but this is just too beyond a staged stunt. Also, this is their official Facebook page, and a great example of how not to respond to haters.

Hooooooly shit that was a lot of crazy jammed into 40 minutes.

Just watched it, too. Holy fuck that woman is batshit insane. I do feel a little bad for the husband (very little). He did seem like he was trying to listen to Ramsey. But tbh, it was probably fake listening.

Edit:

holy shit, I guess she didn't make those cakes.

double edit: there's some debate on whether that is real. They did post a lot of stuff on their facebook recently and are now claiming they were hacked and removed a lot of stuff. dunno if that ss is real from the removals or a shop, so take it with a grain of salt.

If any of you haven't been F5ing their Yelp page throughout the night, you've been seriously missing out. (Don't forget to read the filtered ones!)

One of my favorite reviews:

I was visiting my friend when I found this place, it seemed to be glowing the distance

I heard a whisper in the wind, saying that 'It was time'

I entered

I was greeted and then the co owner of the resturant came out and saw me

She said, 'Are you Jay Gatsby?'

I said 'Bitch I might be.'

A clown clutches a spoon, crying in the distance, you can hear the stars dancing

apparently Amy is a convicted felon who used someone else's SS to get a loan or something. Shit gets funnier and funnier.

[Cliron]

Thank you all for making my morning at work so much more bearable. I had to pause it repeatedly because I had to either laugh or nervous laugh with how fucked up some of the shit that was going on.

Woulda loved if he had actually tried to hit Gordon.

[Callisto]

That made my week, I pray that isn't fake

[Brill Weave]

Holy shit what a fucking whore. I hope she falls asleep in a field and accidentally gets run over by a thresher.

[Brill Weave]

In a shock to absolutely no one the owners of that restaurant are claiming all of their accounts had been hacked and they didn't post anything.
