    Another reason to think this is orchestrated, recent post on their facebook:

    SCOTTSDALE, AZ. MAY 15, 2013 -- Amy’s Baking Company will host a Grand Re-Opening on Tuesday night, May 21, following unflattering portrayals on national television.

    Customers will be able to decide who is correct: a famous celebrity chef or the marketplace that has supported the small, locally-owned business for six years.

    When re-opened, a portion of proceeds will benefit a charity organized to bring awareness to cyber bullying.

    Seating is limited. Reservations may be made by emailing .

    Diners will also have the opportunity to meet, and judge for themselves the character of owners Amy and Samy Bouzaglo, who have devoted their lives to and earn their living from their small restaurant. The Bouzaglos have been married for 10 years, after Sammy emigrated from Israel.

    The owners will likely be holding a press conference before the Grand Re-Opening and answer falsehoods depicted on a reality television show, including assertions that the restaurant confiscates tips from servers.

    In fact, wait staff is paid $8-$14 per hour, two and half to nearly five times the standard hourly wage for servers.

    Questions will also be answered about what happened to their Facebook page.

    Amy’s Baking Company was recently featured on the hit PBS show “Check Please” and has received A+ reports from CBS 5 for kitchen preparedness.

    “We are very upset by what has taken place, apologize about the acrimony that has ensued but now must fight back to save our business. We hope and believe much good can result from what has transpired. We ask the public to keep an open mind as we begin to tell our side of the story,” Samy Bouzaglo said.

    For more details, please contact Michael Saucier.

    I think a 'reunion show' is coming up, and everything will turn around, something like 'we have revised our attitude, everyone loves us' sort of deal...

    • "Cyber bullying charity" good grief. At least, oh, a thousand other more worthy causes out there.mg33
    • they spelled it both Samy and Sammy in the same press release, not very professional getting your client's name wrongmonospaced
    • name wrongmonospaced
    • None of this will deflect from the fact that they are foul mouthed psychos, and that she lied about cooking methods.mg33
    • I don't care how much they feel like victims (she started the whole saga anyway by responding to the original Yelp reviewer)...mg33
    • reviewer) but in the customers eyes, they are absolutely crazy, disrespectful, and horrible people.mg33
    • More likely a PR exerciseanimatedgif
