Pops needs a beatdown and ugs needs one from a woman. I don't condone violence, but these two have me rethinking that ironclad conviction.

The dumbass even admitted on Facebook that her baked goods are store-bought, then compared her reselling them to Walmart selling electronics that they didn't actually make.

L O L

And the best post?

Re: The One and Only KITCHEN NIGHTMARES / HELL'S KITCHEN Thread



OMFG....I just watched that Amy's Baking Company episode of Kitchen Nightmares on Hulu Plus just now after reading some of the comments here and that was classic!!!

That woman Amy is a fucking nut case!! So glad that Gordon walked out at the end. Why the fuck did these 2 nutcases reach out to Gordon and FOX when they weren't going to fucking listen to a damn thing that had to say?

What pissed me off was how Samy said he doesn't let the staff keep tips.

Those 2 horrible human beings deserve each other.

Clearly they wanted Gordon to validate the quality of their food and silence the "haters". When it became obvious that he wasn't going to do that, they shut down.

This guy makes a pretty convincing argument that Amy's Baking Company is a money-laundering operation:

Obviously our Facebook, YELP, Twitter and Website have been hacked. We are working with the local authorities as well as the FBI computer crimes unit to ensure this does not happen again. We did not post those horrible things. Thank You Amy &Samy

Yes. I love it. These are a couple of dirtbags. I was reading that she doesn't make her desserts either because she was defending them by saying "IT IS NOT UNCOMMON TO RESELL THINGS WALMART DOES NOT MAKE THEIR ELECTRONICS OR TOYS SO LAY OFF!!!!"

Lol what a pair of dipshits.

Looks more like it was hacked when that was posted.
Coming up on 8000 comments.

My favorite comment from the Facebook page is, "It's like Joffrey owns a restaurant!"

I had to watch the episode after all the buzz. Wow, that was actually infuriating to watch. I hope people don't even visit that place as a goof. I have no problem if you want to pay a waitstaff hourly. However, they should then not accept tips or acknowledge where they are going if they are left at the table.

If I was part of the waitstaff every table I served "didn't leave a tip."

Seems that Reddit has deleted every post in this thread, anyone have a copy? Sad, since Reddit is what made me aware of this place. It's interesting, if you search out online reviews from before all this started, they're not that bad, and some are quite good. If I lived anywhere near there, I'd go just to see how nutty it really is.

Amazing episode. Has Gordon ever done that before? Just recognize a situation is beyond hope and peace out? Amy seems learning disabled in some way. Like the second Gordon would say anything critical should would walk away or couldn't process what he was saying. Entire point of the show is for Gordon to highlight flaws so they can correct them.

I wanna say he ditched some place out in Kansas City that was trying to be a TGIF/Chili's ripoff but was serving rotten food. The owner then wasn't wanting to change and he took off.

Why would Reddit delete all that? Have they ever done that before?

He's never walked out of a show before. He's always at least implented his changes (or tried to) before the owners revert back.

That was classic. I just watched it, and clearly the wife has some mental health issues going on.

But yeah, I've never heard of a restaurant owner taking tips that way, clearly unethical, probably stealing. A bunch of real dipshits there. I'd never go to that place, even on a goof.
