That woman is NUTS!!! Wow! So glad Chef left!

I never write a review but after watching this episode, God bless Chef!!!! She is absolutes crazy!! And her husband is so rude to customers. He can be reasonable at times,but still. Taking your servers tips is RIDICULOUS! Not letting them touch the POS absurd. I'm a bartender / waitress I wouldn't take that!!!! She is horrible!!! 51/50 for sure. Thank you Chef for walking out! I love witching your shows. Keep them coming!! There is no helping them. I stay up every night watching HK, cooking at home with Chef, and Top Chef. Amy's only friends are probably her 3 cats and Sammy. Gooooo Chef! You're my fav!!!

An Epic Tragedy

Probably the best episode of 'Kitchen Nightmares'. And not just as a piece of entertainment, but as a showcase of how people can be so bad and evil with the people they are working with so the ones trying to help. Mesmerizing.

Best episode

Everything said about Amy and Sammy was true in this episode. She didn't bake any of her desserts she bought blank desserts from other bakeries and then put icing on it to make it seem like she made it. She was also in jail for identity theft under Amanda Bossingham when she was younger. Sammy is also banned from the US and Germany. These people are insane. You can't make this up.

These two are special.

I've seen a lot of trash in restaurants but boy do these two get the blue ribbon. This is so outlandish it has to be doctored. It is unreal that this could even be a real thing. It goes to show that money can actually buy love. These two are beyond pathetic and if hell exists there's a special place for these two worthless miserable black souls.

The Best Reality TV Has to Offer

I don't watch reality television often; actually, I pretty much never watch. However, my friend showed me this episode after telling me it was one of the greatest episodes of television he'd ever seen. He was not overstating it! What an episode! The level of awfulness and the personalities involved made this legendary. See it!

Trivia
Owners Amy and Samy Bouzaglo were initially able to cash in on the notoriety of their "Kitchen Nightmares" appearance. Their restaurant became something of a tourist attraction, and they even marketed t-shirts emblazoned with quotes from the show ("I speak feline MEOW", "Here's your pizza, go fuck yourself"). But the couple's continued erratic behavior, and a firestorm of criticism on social media, finally forced Amy's Baking Company to close on September 1, 2015.

Goofs
It is illegal for someone to take a server's tips in a restaurant. They should have file complaint with the US Federal Labor Board.

Quotes
Himself - Host: Well, it's finally happened. After almost a hundred Kitchen Nightmares, I met two owners who I could not help. It wasn't because I didn't want to, it was because they are incapable of listening. And in a short period of time, they've managed to piss off the community and go through over a hundred employees in one year. Samy and Amy continued to blame everyone else, yet their biggest problem is themselves. And I know whatever changes I would've made, they were never going to stick with them and that's why I've decided to do something I've never done before. It's such a shame.
