I'm curious to know how she became that way. Tough times in prison, or being a former stripper? Inquiring minds want to know.
- stupidity + religion + being told she's pretty - young looks + rich old husband + entitlement - rationalitymonospaced

This story will officially die this weekend when SNL does a skit about it that just isn't very funny.

Moral of story, if a professional chef and hundreds of customers say your restaurant is shit, it is, no matter what kind of person you say you are.

Moral of the story, grow a thick skin and learn how to take a criticism and not look like a psycho.

I got my entertainment out of this yesterday.
Today is on to a new distraction.

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
- what if all this was a stunt to get them their own show? oh snap..

The recent tweets have to be fake and/or hacked. It seems unlikely that they would write shit like:
"OMG. MY DOCTOR JUST CALLED US. SHE THINKS I'M PREGNANT W A HUMAN BABY. MAYBE THAT'S WHY I'VE BEEN SO EMOTIONAL LATELY. SAMY & I ARE EXCITED!"

I doubt it's orchestrated because if you look back through the yelp history it's been going on for years. Doesn't add up to the theory that Kitchen Nightmares planned it or paid them off or that they tried to be nuts for publicity.
They're genuinely fucking crazy.
Also Amy's Baking Company is a fucking stupid name for an italian restaurant
- gordon probably picked them because they are nuts, most if not all of these restaurants are nutsteh

These guys are great. I love them.

This all has brought out the genius in people on a level not seen since Tuscan Whole Milk reviews on Amazon.
From Yelp:
"When I sat down I was greeted by a humanoid fish creature, named "Amy" that could somehow breathe out of water without an apparatus.The Raviolis were store bought, yikes."
