Amy's Baking Company

      Remember when I was talking about another failed restaurant called the "Black Pearl", and I said there was another worse restaurant featured in "Kitchen Nightmares"?
   Well, this is the one. The holy grail of WORST RESTAURANTS EVER. Even Ramsey walked out before the show ended, it was horrible.


 Here's how it started....



   Taking place in Scottsdale, Arizona, a restaurant called: AMY'S BAKING COMPANY. The restaurant is run by a psychotic woman named Amy and her husband Sammy (who is probably a few years older than her)

   They married right on the spot and created a restaurant since Amy's considered, in her own words, "one of the best bakers ever"


BULLS**T!!!! In the words of some of her employees:
  She was insane, rude, can't take an ounce of critisism.
   She would yell and even Sammy would be scared of her at times. Not even going to the kitchen to eplain that another customer was complaining on their food not being cooked properly.

   She would get mad and burn it to spite them.


They were even commented on yelp by what they called: HATERS saying that their food was fake. They responded back with an e-mail, calling that yelper nothing but hateful, cruel words, thinking he was a coward.

  It didn't help, because, Sammy was just as bad. First off...

Before Ramsey came, the cameramen were there watching everything go down the night before. All they got was Sammy and Amy yelling at their customers, retaliating from the complaints of the food being gross, and kicking people out, threatening to call the police because of their long wait on a pizza.

   When Ramsey came in, he was surprised to see how clean the kitchen and the dining room was, feeling as if he was being pranked. He even tried one of Amy's deserts before having his lunch, calling it delicous. But it soon started to unravel for Ramsey when he had his lunch.
His pizza was not cooked, his burger  was dry and gross, and worst of all, he learned that the waitresses never get tipped. It all went to Sammy and Amy. Which was disgusting.


   He soon got a deeper look at the restaurant; seeing how Amy functions as not only an owner but a horrible baker. Getting complaints from customers, being rude, and even fiering an employee for asking a simple question.

  Just Wow.

Later, the next day, Ramsey calmly explains to both Amy and Sammy how deeply upset he was with Amy's attitude and how she treated an employee for just asking a question, as well as noticing that the raviolis were frozen and that the waiters don't get tipped. He went deeper, talking to past employees, finding out much worse as in most of the male waiters had to wash Sammy's car, that people who work with food or studied in the field were not considered real chefs, and that mostly 50 to 100 employees were fired within the first three months of opening.

   Ramsey did a ballsy move, deciding that it was useless to help someone that couldn't take criticism and walked out the door, never helping Amy's Baking Company. The internet went insane after the show ended, BuzzFeed made a few cracks, as others created cartoons.



A year later, before Kitchen Nightmares ended, they did an inside look at the one restaurant he couldn't save. Having the employees that were no longer working for them, explain what happened after he left. One quit when Sammy noticed she was taking tips. She threw the money in their face, and left.

  Another just walked out, and many more customers, after watching the show, wanted to go and see if it was a bad as they said it was. One man explained that he found flies in his drink. Sammy suggested that he put them in there. They argued, and they were later told to leave. Half of the staff, and they even had an interview with Amy and Sammy to find out more on their side.

  It was worthless, since all they did was blame Ramsey for what happened. They had to change their policies, they had merchandise, but it was not working out. A couple years later, they closed for good.


I don't know what happened, but knowing from experiences being in horrible and dealing with horrible people, these two needed to be sent into an insane asylum. They even think of their cats as people. What a weirdo. I don't know if they broke up after they closed the restaurant, but I pray they aren't opening another restaurant in Scottsdale, or Phionex or ever Springerville.


  This was the number one most watched episode of Kitchen Nightmares, and even Gordon admits that there was nothing he could do to help them. Even if they did send a tape saying that they needed help.

  We will never know what happened, but all I know is that is one restaurant that never needed to be saved.
