Never saw Gordon Ramsay walk away from a restaurant.
Now they are claiming their Facebook, Yelp, and Twitter account have been hacked. From their Facebook account.
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
Restaurant owners slammed on national TV speak out
http://www.kpho.com/story/22252110/restaurant-owners-slammed-on-national-tv-speak-out
CBS 5 News went to the bakery to find out what's going on. Amy Bouzaglo was not happy to see us.
"You can't film us," she said.
But we asked about those Facebook posts.
"I'm not making those," she said. "Someone has hacked into our account. The FBI is involved, you're not allowed to film me, you're trespassing, please leave."
Just as our cameras were being kicked off the property, the story got even more bizarre. Co-owner Samy Bouzaglo came out, pushed his wife away and decided to talk to us.
They come off even less sympathetic. :mental: Oh yeah, stealing tips from waiters is illegal.

Damn :lmao:

Damn! I'm 12 1/2 minutes through it. Why am I watching this? The eyes are the windows to the soul, and this couple's eyes tell a long, and wacky story.

That's a cool site

Their FB page was hacked? By who? The one leaving the wacky messages identified himself as the husband.
I found a short synopsis of the whole crazy story. Any sympathy I might have had for these two is gone.
The Customer Isn't Always Right
For the first time in Kitchen Nightmares history, British chef Gordon Ramsay walks off his own show. In the segment that aired this week, the difficult owners of Amy's Baking Company in Scottsdale, AZ - Samy and Amy Bouzaglo - are shown stealing tips from their waitstaff, admitting to firing more than 100 employees over a one year period, firing a waitress for asking a question, telling a customer who had been waiting over an hour for his food to go **** himself (yes, the police were called during filming), and passing off frozen, pre-made raviolis and desserts as if they were homemade. The couple was so resistant to criticism that even the typically steadfast Ramsay decided he couldn’t help them and shut the show down before beginning the rehab phase.
And after viewers took to Yelp to trash the restaurant, that's when shit really hit the fan. Amy Bouzaglo went on Facebook and proceeded to have an epic meltdown, going so far as to threaten commenters with police action, and Photoshopping a Reddit thread to make it look like the police were calling users. They have since taken down the comments, claiming that their social media accounts where hacked.
Amy Bouzaglo is no stranger to controversy. In 2010, Bouzaglo made the local news for ripping a Yelp reviewer to shreds, and calling him a moron. Turns out she also used to be known as Amanda Bossingham, and in 2008 she served some time for felony bank fraud and identity theft, attempting to use someone else's Social Security Number to secure a $15,000 loan.

I think she's nuts. Seriously crazy, as needing hospitalization.

I wonder if the restaurant is still open. What a dining experience this would be for those like me want some entertainment with a meal. Ask for a table near the kitchen so as to listen to all the yelling going on back there. What a hoot to watch customers that were never served getting arrested for not paying a bill for food they never received.
Yup-O it could be worth the air fare to AZ just to spend an hour or two waiting for just a salad and drinking a couple glasses of wine. What an interesting restaurant this is, who cares what the food tastes like, the crazy owners are pure theater.
-
Some people think it is a money laundry front group.
http://www.reddit.com/r/cringepics/comments/1e9tk2/so_amys_baking_companys_facebook_page_is_having_a/c9ygmjc
If this place isn't a money laundering operation, I don't know what is.
Sammy screamed 'Don't call the police'. This was one of the only things he really stood up to his wife on. I think Sammy is involved in serious criminal shit and he doesn't want Johnny Law to come poking around and causing any disruptions to the money losing business here. I’m not sure if the fact that they don’t trust anyone else to run the place has anything to do with that, or whether they’re just nuts. If they were smarter, I feel like they could let it run itself. See point #4 for a possible reason for that.
The place is clearly hemorrhaging money. All those fresh veggies come at a huge premium in Arizona and no one is buying them since no one eats there. This is a tactic to inflate food costs and make the on-the-books profits (from crime) a bit more believable. You have high prices and ‘quality ingredients’ and on its face, it looks like a classy place dealing in high-quality, high-margin food that’s doing very, very well. In reality, they’re buying top-dollar with dirty money and selling nothing.
Putting all of that money into the facilities, kitchen equipment and the dining area is a way to build tangible equity in a property, paid for by dirty money, of course. This is similar to how house flipping has become the new Las Vegas for cleaning dirty money. Even if you put 100k of criminal money into a house and sell it for 80k, you still made 80k in clean money (and the write off for the business loss – more clean money). And what you ask is Sammi’s other ‘legitimate’ business enterprise? Custom home building. Same ****ing principle: Build equity in something tangible with dirty money, sell it (at a loss or profit, who gives a ****) and money comes clean out the other side.
The compensation structure for servers is just another money cleaning tactic. The money from tips never hits the books. It’s pocketed immediately and spent on gas, food, clothes etc. All the sorts of stuff that is bought in a day that isn’t traced and is used up (burned, eaten, thrown out etc.) when it’s done. You keep the clean, un-traceable cash coming in (tips), and then pay out more money in wages to lose money so that the money that comes in from crime doesn’t make the place look TOO profitable. If they weren’t so wretched and money hungry they would just let the girls work on tips like most people, but they’re so narcissistic, deluded and downright evil that they think they’re entitled to it and don’t know when to stop.
They are mean to people because well, they’re nuts, but also because Sammy doesn’t actually give much of a **** if many people come in or not. If a few quiet, agreeable customers come in and eat, so be it. For Sammy, this place is an annoyance. He hates being there and knows it’s a waste of his legitimate criminal time to have to deal with it. He was just stupid and married a crazy ‘trophy wife’ who thinks she can cook and the less he has to do in a day in terms of dealing with angry customers, the better. Hell, he might have married her BECAUSE he thought she was stupid enough to believe she’s making money when no one comes in. To me that’s why a lot of that bad food is just thrown away; otherwise she gets crazy and causes more disruptions to the fence.
Ever wonder why he doesn’t know how to use the POS system, but insists on using it? Because one day one of those girls is going to see ALL of these tables and checks listed on there that never actually came in, and then she’ll ask why. Since she knows more about the system than he, she won’t buy the lie he tells her. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s a small part of the reason for the staff turnover: They don’t want anyone knowing too much.
Because the thing is, at the end of the day, he can just make up checks and bills and act like all these customers came in and paid them lots of money for food, but just as long as the place isn’t completely empty all the time and then reporting big profits, there shouldn’t be any huge red flags so as long as the taxes keep coming into the IRS and the place keeps a quiet reputation.
EDIT: Everyone is asking how I reconcile them going on tv for help. _____________________________
Remember, Amy thinks her problem is not her food, their shared attitude, their sparse staff or her creepy eyes. It's internet haters. That's it. She is perfect in every way. She feels the downturn in her business is due solely to bad publicity. For people with such grandiose self-images, the only way to deal with this would be to go to the very top and have the biggest chef in the world come and say that their food is amazing. Bad publicity problem solved. Note too, those awesome desserts she fed Ramsey, that he really liked, were all store bought. But she claimed they were hers. She does not care about the food in that sense, as she's willing to lie about that as the first step to the good publicity that she thinks is the silver bullet to fixing what she feels to be unjustifiably tarnished public image.
From Sammy's perspective, I think he's willing to take the small risk of having the cover blown on any laundering operation to sustain a good front and, like his wife, to try to, in his mind, restore the deservedly good reputation the place should rightly have. If he can somehow appease his wife, who I believe has him convinced she can cook, and keep the restaurant full so he doesn't need to butcher the receipts so much, he might be able to stop doing shady shit altogether or at least have a better front. Then, if the restaurant is running well, he can leave it for someone else to operate and he can stay home and watch Scarface 50 times.
Essentially, I think HIS willingness to take this risk is rooted in their shared delusions about their own self values and they are willing to take the most drastic of measures to keep them as high as possible.
This gets interesting.

Oh WOW this does get interesting every day. More and more I want to go check out this place, I have eaten at some strange places but this seems to be the top of a fun night out.
Will the FBI or a SWAT team come in when I am in the middle of eating store bought Ravioli ???? Will the owners come over to cuss us out if we send back a dish for any reason ?????
Much more fun then going to a nice place that is so boring and everything runs well. Will we be arrested if we order, the food never comes yet are told we have to pay for something we never got ???
Now that we have a heads up on this place, I would really enjoy watching the antics of the owners, must say had I not know idea what to expect, just wandered in off the street, most likely I would pee my pants. [ from laughing at all the crazy stuff.]
On the other hand I do wonder if any of this is real, perhaps Ramsey walked into a restaurant that wanted him to think the owners were crazy just to get publicity so people like me would come into it to see the SHOW. I also wonder about the two female servers that were all too willing to tell the Nation they were being ripped off illegally with their tips.
Something is just not right here, I tend to thing it is a scam of some sort. Sorry I believe Ramsey is in on the scam to boost his ratings.

Wow, that amazes me. I know he's come close to walking away and even, after editing, may have (but not shown it) because of the amount of drama that they tend to put into these shows through that crafty editing.
But I never would have believed that this was the first one he walked away from.

Ramsey needs ratings to keep his show on the air. Interesting how he needs drama and a [ I came in to save them and all lived happily there after].
No I do not trust this Ramsey, who would want to watch a program that has no high drama without lots of action lots of tears.
I call BS on his shows, especially his Hotel Hells that show case the out dated rooms but never show the bed bugs, or take an ultra violet light to find protine stains on carpet or bedding.

Ramsey's got a very, very good pedigree as far as the culinary arts are concerned. I read an interview in some magazine -- might've been Time, I forget -- and he's cut his teeth on the hard jobs in Paris and London and other hard-nosed places. His restaurants have earned Michelin 3 stars 15 times, and 14 are current. This is an incredible achievement in the culinary world.
But all that said, yeah, the drama has to be manufactured if it isn't already there. And Ramsay has to do what he has to do to stay on the tube.

Other Side of Amy’s Baking Company Controversy in Scottsdale To Soon Be Told
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 sjones@rosemoserallynpr.com.
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.

Cyber bullying? Seriously? These are the SAME PEOPLE who were bullying their customers!

I love Gordon Ramsay. Another on I like is Robert Irvine's "Restaurant Impossible". It has a similar format, but he shows a little more on decorating the restaurant, many are real dives.
The owners choose to be part of these reality shows because they are in trouble. IMO, it doesn't matter if they go under after a show, because that's where they were headed in the first place. If the show helps them turn it around, or they are able to get a few bucks selling it, then they made a good decision.
Amy of Amy's Baking Company belongs in a mental hospital. There is something seriously wrong with that woman.

Now, The Arizona Republic is reporting that Samy Bouzaglo is attending immigration hearings that could revoke his residency status after he did not disclose information to immigration authorities. According to the paper, the information revolves around documents that show he's banned from France and Germany and has a history of drug and extortion charges. The deportation process has been going on for two years and has nothing to do with the couple's appearance on "Kitchen Nightmares," said Scottsdale immigration lawyer David Asser.
Talk about a major league criminal. He is banned from Germany and France.

Amy’s Baking Company Reality Show Reportedly In The Works After ‘Kitchen Nightmares’ Disaster
http://www.ibtimes.com/amys-baking-company-reality-show-reportedly-works-after-kitchen-nightmares-disaster-1285027
According to an exclusive report from Radar Online, the restaurant’s owners, Amy and Samy Bouzaglo, are considering offers from multiple production companies to create a reality show based on the restaurant and its owners’ dramatic antics. “Right now Cineflix is the most serious production company trying to secure Amy and Samy. They want to develop a show around their restaurant and their bad behavior,†a source told the gossip site.
“Amy and Samy are all for it because they feel like it’s the only way to keep their restaurant open,†the source added. The Bouzaglos, whose restaurant was plagued by thousands of negative reviews on sites like Yelp and Reddit after it appeared on “Kitchen Nightmares,†say their business has been hurt by cyberbullying. In their appearance on the show, Amy Bouzaglo told audiences the trouble started about two years ago when reviewers began writing lies about the food and service, although her husband Samy admitted to throwing out customers who complained about the food.
Not surprised by it. :mental:

Only one small issue (two, actually:)
1--He has to avoid deportation.
2--They have to avoid having their business closed.
I'm not seeing either one happening.

It was either TV or politics
:rotf:

Oh, somehow, I think Amy, and gNads would get along famously. It'd be a short lived friedship though, since neither one can focus on anything but themselves for any prolonged period of time.
That would be funny to watch. :lmao: :rotf: :rofl:

Even Charlize Theron got those eyes right playing Aileen Wuoros in the movie/documentary "Monster".

Here is the contract: http://amradaronline.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/amyskitchencontract.pdf
Several completely illegal clauses there, notably the requirement that you be ready 5 minutes before shift (unless you are paid for the hour before the shift starts) and of course the non-competition clause.
Most of the rest is vague (what is "attitude?") or unenforceable (good luck proving a recipe used elsewhere was one of Amy's). The rest of the clauses are standard rule of conduct/operation that you would find in the orientation manual of any restaurant.
They should have paid $50 for a lawyer to write the thing.

ABC going tits up in 3...2...

Yup...first comment over at MSN had it right. Stick a fork in 'em. They're done.
Nobody is going to work for them, and good luck getting any money from a former employee for any of their crap demands. They'd be laughed out of court.
