Chef Ramsay wasn't the only one who became fed up with the couple. As reported by Eater , Amy's Baking Company received a lot of flak from its customers. Reviewers on Yelp claim the service was really bad, with one diner writing, "The food was mediocre and almost inedible Gordon sits down with the couple and samples a slice of Amy's cake, that he brands as delicious.
They say online bullies are the problem of their business and they have been retaliating to the online attacks. Gordon talks to Miranda, who reveals that she does not receive tips and Samy takes all of the tips.
Gordon orders the pear and fig prosciutto pizza, blue ribbon burger, salmon burger and red pepper ravioli. While waiting he hears a doorbell ring and it turns out it is for the busser to clean up dirty dishes.
Gordon asks why Sammy did not give Amy feedback on the pizza but she is defensive saying it was not undercooked. Samy is tasked with telling Amy, who reacts by removing every single item on the menu except for the desserts.
Gordon is confused why no feedback is given to Amy and food is just tossed immediately after it is sent back. Amy is in denial about the feedback but Gordon is too tired to get into it and they close for the night.
Jessica begged to be allowed in the kitchen but was refused even though she has a culinary degree. They saw high turnover rates of the staff and the owners being completely defensive of their food.
The owners sit with him and Amy cuts him off when he is talking about the problems of the kitchen. He tells her she is delusional and Amy doesn't want to hear any more but Samy tells her to listen to Gordon and let him finish.
They have the right to run their restaurant how they want but he is going to do what is right and what is right is to walk away. The episode goes through the social media outbursts and interviews with Buzzfeed and Huffington Post writers talking through the media surrounding the show.
There were countless memes, gifs, skits and cartoon parodies about the episode and the owners. It also shows Amy explaining that she has female kitchen staff as the kitchen is too small and men are rubbish at cleaning. Amy tells Gordon that the servers don't deserve the tips as they don't work as hard as her husband. Gordon shows their submission video which features Amy criticising Samys customer service skills.
Amy explains there has been a few incidents with customers and that she has been retaliating to Yelp reviews. The staff talk about what happened since the episode, they fired everyone and then begged the staff to return. The restaurant has since become a tourist site with people coming to see if the restaurant is as shown on the show.
They have tried to cash in on the notoriety of the restaurant by selling t shirts with slogans from the episode. She believes the restaurant was filled with Yelpers and says they were just defending themselves. They have been browsing or placing fake cockroaches in the restaurant and she has to stand up to these people.
She says that the initial Facebook comments were not them but because of internet trolls they are now reacting. The ravioli is still frozen, there is more abuse at Gordon and Samy still believes Amy's food is excellent. Yelp reviews were mostly negative after the episode aired with some loyal customers posting positive reviews.
Miranda was fired for taking a tip that a customer had hidden for her and is now working for Cracker Barrell. Negative comments were responded to with a tirade of abusive and insulting posts on Facebook by Amy and Samy. However, the owners claimed that their Facebook account was hacked. Details of Amy's past including a criminal conviction for social security fraud to obtain credit have surfaced. It was also reported that Samy was subject to an immigration case after failing to declare previous charges including drug charges and trafficking.
Katy did an AMA on Reddit and answered a whole host of questions about the restaurant. The owners claim they have received death threats and hired PR guru Jason Rose to help them with the media backlash. They cancelled a press conference and were dropped by the PR company, after legal threats from Fox. They began selling merchandise with catchphrases from the episode and appeared on Dr Phil.
Amy's Baking Company was aired on 10 May , the episode was filmed in December and is Kitchen Nightmares season 6 episode This post was last updated in August I sort of thought the same thing but I think she has double personality disorder She is God's child one minute then the next she is the Devil. That might be a while In the follow up, Samy yells at one point that he has the money to keep the place open no matter how bad business gets until "the stupid people become smart and then they will come again to us, and they will" when he was asked about whether he had repeat customers.
So sounds like he's got money to burn for a long time. Amy sounds like she was one of those extremely spoiled children who throw fits to get their way and now can't understand why the temper tantrums aren't working to stop the mean things from happening anymore.
Both of them though seem a little off, like delusional and kind of paranoid. It's a bad combination with those two - I bet they'll keep the place open til it's just them running it and even then as long as they can just to show all their "haters" that they didn't win - at least in their minds. I wonder how much trouble they'll have getting staff - I guess if you were desperate enough for any job though.
Amazing how Amy knows better then a Michelin rated chef. How many Michelin stars do you have Amy? Number of Michelin stars that earn for Amy Baking Company is , yes minus 50 in the hole. Lowest rate any business can earn is 1 must earn 5 star point before can earn Michelin point. This mean Amy Baking Company earn stars in the hole. Well, once more proven that an enormous ego and lack of social skills are the worst enemies to whose who decided to work in customer service!
Always a warning sign to those who are seeking new job: there were hundreds of people getting fired here before, they cannot ALL be bad workers. So anyone who is interested in position of restaurant worker there should think twice.
Good places have more or less stable crew working. Personnel flow is a bad bad sign! I went there a few months ago and I was kicked out after I found a bone in my salad also Samy nearly threw a punch at me. I'm pretty sure I know what's going on here. He probably doesn't even care if it succeeds or not - it was all about his immigration status and trying to avoid having the Feds look into his previous drug trafficking charges in the Middle East.
They are both swindlers, and opened this restaurant as a front. Also all the hidden money ie;keeping tips from staff, not charging meals through the till, booze not recorded through till and I would bet there are many other lurks that Sammy is doing of course I have no definite proof of these things happening but have no doubt the restaurant is being used as a money laundering operation. Amy is such a nasty nasty person. This doesn't make any sense.
Samy married Amy, an American citizen. As long as he originally entered the United States legally, he would have no problems whatsoever getting a green card. I think the place still stands because her cakes are actually good. Ramsay complimented the cake at the beginning.
It's just the rest of her food is bad and they're crazy. The posters at Reddit did some fantastic detective work and uncovered Amy was buying all the cakes and pastries in from suppliers hence all her comments about "reselling". Dishonest people all round. Ramsay hadn't tasted the cakes. This was right after he was very surprised how clean the restaurant was.
I just watched the episode yesterday on Hulu. The first thing Chef tasted was the cake, while he sat with the owners discussing the what they think the problems are. Apparently Season 7 which begins next month is going to include an Amy's Baking Company update show. Can't wait! If you guys wanna re-watch this one in preparation for any future season, hit Fox or google it.
Nowadays, its so darn simple to find what you are looking for. I watched ABC episode yesterday Amy is such a psychopath. If she is not technically a clinical nut-case, then I will say she is as whacky as my sister-in-law, and SHE definitely needs serious help.
You know, I watched every KN episode online with the exception of this one, and I wished that I had indefinitely postponed that misery. I saw it when it prepared a while back. I have to say, this is the only episode that severely boiled my blood.
I will bypass watching it again because of that couple. These people do not deserve to own a restaurant, and I feel sorry for her cats. I really feel bad for Amy and Samy. Everyone bashing them is so typical American. Although the production crew had discussed bringing in everyday customers, Amy recognized the same customers who had threatened them with bad reviews in the past.
But it was too late. When the show aired, Amy said she crawled under her bed. They eventually sold their store in Scottsdale, Arizona, and in , moved to California where Amy published a cookbook and started a full line of cannabis edibles.
But Samy, who was an Israeli citizen , was called into immigration court. Though he did discover that some items that the owners claimed to be fresh actually came in frozen.
But if that was the worst of it, this restaurant was miles ahead of others that have appeared on the series. Ramsay discovered during the episode that none of the waitresses were able to keep their own tips. Instead, owner Samy took them, saying they were his because he did a lot of the front-of-the-house work. One waitress, meanwhile, explained that he also messed up a lot of the orders, which caused them grief.
But Samy declared that the wait staff made an hourly wage and that was enough. Ramsay called him out on this, revealing the truth to diners who all replied with the expected disdain. During an interview with a former staffer, the woman revealed to Ramsay that she saw at least 50 people get fired during the year-and-a-half that she worked there. While it sounds like a ridiculous number, when Ramsay presented this figure to Samy, he said it was actually closer to people who had been fired.
A dissatisfied diner got into an argument with Samy during the taping that looked like it could have escalated into an altercation. The man reportedly mistakenly thought everything was simply being put on for the show.
