Arrogance combined with stupidity at an exceptional level!

Fixed.

Check their ******** page. Don't have ********, so can't post link.

Ermagerd! Ramsay quit on them? That's pretty bad.

He was unable to help them.

Cursing at customers?!? Profanity directed toward customers on their ******** page?!?!?

:facepalm:

If you want a good laugh then read the reviews at Yelp!!!

I wonder if their business jumped in the weeks following the show with people just coming in to see the spectacle!

I travel on bullet train from Japan to Arizona to eat American Ding Dong....

wtf

lol

Tell you what, I'd like one of her 'ripped off' cookies that she proported to have baked herself! :) I need a cookie!!! There's a rotating wall of super-cell clouds wrapped in rain and blowing the hell out of everything around here at the moment! :( The electric is still on...that's a plus. So's the roof, at the moment! :(

Funny reading. I agree with OP, it's a "what-not-to-do" situation. Had they listened to Ramsay, shed a big pretty crocodile tear or two, vowed to turn over a new leaf, blah, blah, stuff-reality-tv-is-made-of, etc., etc., they'd be laughing now.

They say, any press is good press.
This might be the exception.

What a train wreck.

Since I don't watch reality TV shows, I was in the dark about Amy's Baking Company so I had to watch it "on-demand." I've got to admit, it was an interesting show. It was like watching a train wreak. Sadly, people like Amy and her husband are everywhere and they make life miserable for everyone who come in contact with them.

For me, the fact that Amy and her husband keep all the servers' tips because they believe they (not the servers) earn it was astonishing. Chef Ramsay was so livid that he went out to the dining room and told all the customers that any tips that they left for their servers would be pocketed by the owners.

It's baffling how they can stay in business or keep the place staffed.

That woman is institutional material. She needs some serious meds.

I think both owners need some serious help.

I can see someone not liking their food...or a few. Hey, not every restaurant is going to get a thumbs-up from the vox populi. It happens.

But the ******** meltdown was a classic in how NOT to treat a customer--or people in general. Glad I'm not a member.

Oh, and V-240 isn't Batman. You heard it from me first.
:D

I saw the ******** meltdown a couple of days back....really messed up....

I saw that episode --- cannot fathom being married to that woman!

Misc, only around 250 signatures needed to have the owners of Amy's Baking Company investigated by the government for stealing the waiters and waitresses tips, make it happen

Those people went viral fast. I decided to watch the episode, shes a complete nutter.

Old guy with money, married to her for 10 years so I would guess she was pretty hot. Explains the problem.

No one has seen me and Batman in the same room, just sayin'.

Why only sane adults should be allowed to run a business.Cringeworthy!

Hang around here long enough and you'll realize there is no such thing as sane adults, some are just more cracked than others!

If psycho bytch is working send the food back just for the fun of it. Order something that can easily be mid-cooked.

A friend of mine went there yesterday. He put his review on Yelp. He's Dennis A.
