hello everyone hope you're having the most fantastic day today welcome to the film
insight channel for today's video we're going to discuss even more restaurants
featured on kitchen nightmares and reveal how they're doing now
so sit back relax and without further ado let's get right into the content guys
Amy's Baking Company stop the red pepper ravioli and stop there stop it they're living i don't care
as any fan of kitchen nightmares will tell you no one could have been prepared for the absolutely
batshit insane owners Amy and Salamon Sammy Bazaglo the two were absolutely unhinged
like you wouldn't believe that episode got people talking and lit up an online
firestorm that had everyone and their dog rushing to their keyboards ready to rain hell
down upon the utterly insane owners it was hard to believe that people like this actually existed
especially Amy it's hard to remember a scene where she said anything that resembled anything
a normal human would say this is how the infamous debacle began
with Sammy's 1 million dollars the couple opened Amy's Baking Company in 2006 in scottsdale arizona
a place south park called the most miserable place on earth the restaurant was extremely
successful according to amy up until pesky freeloading yelpers started coming in
these yelpers would order meals worth hundreds of dollars and threaten the couple with bad
reviews if they did not let them walk out without paying what they say it's not cooked enough 2b
what two pieces is not cooked enough it's hard to believe that anything disparaging said about
amy could be unfounded but there have been cases of entitled customers taking restaurants hostage
over the threat of poor reviews peter it's coming you want to wait you wait you don't
want to pay what did you happen from here do you understand in fact it used to happen so much
that a few businesses began suing reviewers over negative comments making the unlucky civilians
have to defend themselves in court a process that could end up costing hundreds and thousands
of dollars in legal fees in any case this was not the route the couple chose instead they turned to
fox tv's kitchen nightmares in the hope that the show's host chef gordon ramsay would turn the tide
of bad reviews with his glowing recommendation i need them to listen to you and not the online
bullies i mean if all your food is as good as this dessert which is good there's something not quite
right here their business was under attack and in amy's view it all started two years before kitchen
nightmares when these reviewers and these bloggers decided to make up lies and say they ate the food
and it was disgusting her reaction was less than ideal you can take this back too you didn't like
amy infuriated by these random attacks went online and hurled insults at faceless attackers
calling them losers and morons that just made things worse and a new solution had to be found
kitchen nightmares their submission video to kitchen nightmares severely underplayed
the couple's over-the-top attitude over everything in it amy seemed normal and
sammy was described as being nervous and clueless about how to run the front of the house
it was such a twisted version of the truth if that's all ramsay had to go on boy was he in
for a surprise an epic meltdown of catastrophic proportions like the spanish inquisition no one
could have expected it to this day amy's baking company is the only restaurant in both the uk
and us versions that ramsay has ever walked out on entirely we all know what happened next
cut to ramsay's arrival and the restaurant was spotless the decal was on point and the
freezer was organized with everything labelled a beautiful colored array of cakes on a display case
was in full view for everyone to see and what's more the famous chef found the cakes delicious
thank you that's beautiful but alas he'd been duped amy didn't bake those cakes in one of her
many crazy facebook rants after the show amy admitted to buying the cakes repackaging them
and then reselling them we do not need this you stupid people america is about reselling
it is not a big deal the cakes we offer are expensive because we have to repackage and ship
do not blame us because you cannot afford quality the yelpers and now the reddits need to back off
you're not right just because of some tv show this kind of all caps lock screaming is exactly
the kind of behavior we've seen earlier even before ramsay had arrived this next part shocked
and angered viewers to the core you will be appalled by the shocking behavior of sammy and amy
remember the red checkered shirt guy the one who received an earful from the owners
poor guy after waiting for an hour he approached sammy asking for his pizza
and what he got was amy yelling send him home look at him he's like where's my pizza really
send him home followed by a shocking barrage of expletives from sammy to the effect of pay and get
out but it wasn't just the customers who received this abuse ramsay righteously pissed off that the
waitresses were getting their tips snatched away by the owners told sammy don't [ __ ] with me
miranda the young girl yeah you go give her her tips no sammy yeah cannot take servers tips sammy
heatedly fired back with don't with me who the [ __ ] you think you are i'm the gangster not you
what the [ __ ] you think you are tell the customers they're going to get their tickets
sami was telling the truth about that he was a gangster of some sort
you won't be at all surprised to know the two were a regular bonnie and clyde duo sami balzaglo was
born in morocco but he was an israeli citizen on may the 21st 2013 a report by the arizona republic
and 12 news stated that sami was involved in an immigration and customs enforcement case
whose agenda was to deport him sami had come to america somewhere around the early 1990s and he'd
served time in prison before his arrival he had been imprisoned on charges relating
to drug trafficking and extortion a stint that barred him from ever entering france or germany
the reason for his extradition charges was his failure to divulge his criminal background to us
authorities before entering the country his wife wasn't clean either on august 16 2001 amanda amy
bossingham applied for a fifteen thousand dollar bank loan under false pretenses and was arrested
on october the 11th 2002. on november 6 2003 she pleaded guilty to one count of misuse of a social
security number and was sentenced to 14 months in jail she served her time from 2008 to october 2009
they were already married at the time of her incarceration the pair had tied the knot in
2004. anyway back to the kitchen rousey was facing down the has been gangster and amy was just nuts
however clean amy's baking company was the food was definitely not up to par oh dear
that is over complicated so unnecessary
ramsay waited 75 minutes to receive an undercooked pizza as he put it the dough was wet the pizza was
undercooked in the center and there wasn't enough garnish on the outside sammy heard all of ramsey's
criticisms and chose not to tell his wife he knew she wouldn't take kindly to any complaint
and would likely have combusted and exploded i know my wife she doesn't take the criticism
she will be shaking and then she said that's it i'm living in a special follow-up episode
it was revealed that sammy had pleaded with gordon can you make her change make her change it wasn't
just the pizza that was awful the ravioli ii was a failure it was store-bought crap and gordon tried
to ram these facts into amy's thick impenetrable skull but her defenses were too strong these are
store-bought crap frozen ravioli crap and they're delicious and i the first time i've ever did you
taste it you didn't taste that her behavior was infuriating you couldn't get to her she'd
always deflect with some inane comment the food is delicious or i'm an excellent chef she could make
no mistake fans of the show have dived into her odd behavior and there's a consensus that she's
narcissistic she certainly displayed multiple traits of the disorder a grandiose sense of
self-importance a sense of entitlement showing arrogant haughty behaviors and lacking empathy
her cold-heartedness came shining through when she fired an employee buser katie cipriano for
a minor slight where to be fair katie did show some attitude by asking amy whether she was
sure about a table she just said you don't work here anymore okay don't start crying
that event cascaded to a heated exchange that led to katie quitting in tears
and amy oddly screaming at her not to walk away from her after she just fired her not only did
amy demonstrate an inability to take any form of criticism but she would lash out at anything
that seemed remotely disrespectful to her or her husband in the follow-up episode amy defended her
reactive nature yes i'm going to say things if someone attacks me i'm not going to stop if i
stop then i'll be a pansy and i'm not a pansy the pair seemed to hate showing any form of weakness
and would aggressively attack any perceived slight amy was openly hostile towards ramsay
the moment he found something wrong with her cooking the husband wasn't much better he was very
aggressive and that brings us to the next thing the couple's predilection towards genitalia more
so balls of a lack thereof when kitchen nightmare caught up to the couple for a follow-up episode
and enraged sammy screamed that ramsay had no balls and was jealous of his balls amy chipped
in by stating that online trolls also have no balls because they were eunuchs they had such a
way with words according to her the yelpers and the people hiding behind the computer screens
were the cameltoe mafia they are [ __ ] they are pansies they have no balls because if they
had balls they would come to my face however as with all such notoriety the couple reportedly
received life-threatening calls and messages famed tourists would come to gawk at them vicious online
posts would become their daily bread as people wrote them disturbing messages like suicide would
be their best option or that they were [ __ ] and gordon should have stabbed them both or that their
cats would be killed it didn't help matters that amy was having a monumental breakdown on facebook
acting out a one-woman war against a sea of trolls she made herself an easy target the delighted
would-be charles because all a troll needs is a response the meltdown which sammy would partake in
included rants that made them sound even worse you won't believe the kind of things they wrote
we will start a generation of truthfulness and we will fight to bring places like yelp and reddit
and horrible people like gordon to the light i am a wonder woman i am a great chef a great wife
and a great mom to my kids and we will be parents to a human kid one day too we will show all of you
to all yelpers and reddits bring it on you are [ __ ] you are weaker than my wife and weaker
than me my wife is a jewel in the desert you are just trash this is sami i am keeping notes
of all names here we will be pursuing action against you legally and against reddit and yelp
for this plot you have come together on you are all just punks you are all little punks
nothing we have god on our side you just have your sights these reactive outbursts would later
be used as perfect examples for businesses on how not to react to negative customer comments
forbes magazine even featured amy's baking company in an article highlighting six things a company
should never do on social media in the end it all had to come to a close if there's anything nice
about them it's that they stuck together they genuinely seem to like and respect each other
everybody else could go [ __ ] themselves closure of amy's baking company and life afterwards amy's
baking company closed on september the 1st 2015 two years after the kitchen nightmares episode
aired they moved to california in 2015 we decided we wanted to take a break we sold our restaurant
we sold the result we didn't close it where amy made a cookbook called baking with amy it's
on google play and has 1.2 stars out of 5. she stated that she became a master cannabis baker
selling edibles while in california i cannot say how well that went but if her earlier efforts or
anything to go by somebody probably died in 2018 sammy was finally deported and she followed him
to israel where they now live in a beautiful town by the beach in a town called netanya they live
in an apartment in a high rise where amy plans to open a bakery on the ground floor of the building
where a dance studio used to be she regrets that the world got to see how she gets when she's
defensive and scared as for sammy he said this to the new york post in may 2021 for me in israel the
life is honey i'm enjoying this beautiful town beautiful country i'm retired well that will be
