hello everyone hope you're having the most amazing day today welcome to the film insight
channel for today's video we're going to discuss the restaurant that gordon ramsay couldn't save
i went to amy's baking company to help but the owners were incapable of listening
there was such a strong reaction to the episode that we decided to give you an update
on what's happened since we'll also show you some footage that has never been seen before
so sit back relax and without further ado
let's get right into the content guys we're going to be discussing amy's baking company the way to
for this infamous episode gordon ramsay heads over to scottsdale arizona to meet two of the most
insane people he's ever encountered on kitchen nightmares this being sammy and amy busaglow it
was 2012 at the time and the pair had been married for 10 years after having dated for 5 months
according to amy god had sent sammy down to her this time the restaurant ramsay would try
to save was amy's baking company it was founded in 2006 when sami had put up a million dollars
to fulfill his wife's dream of owning a restaurant sammy was a very doting husband and as you'll see
that'll become a problem later on according to amy the restaurant was doing well at first but
then their reputation tanked in around 2010 when haters started coming in these haters would come
eat and then leave bad reviews on sites like yelp i have issues with customers that are trying to
be online bullies online bullets they're online bullies and write things that are not true amy
insisted that these bad reviews were lies and that these reviewers and bloggers were just a bunch of
cowards hiding behind their screens apparently if they actually had balls they would face her
though if what she said was actually true and these reviewers were liars then what she did
was the worst thing you can do to a troll which is to respond retaliated you wrote back to him
oh yeah right why i told him i thought he was a loser he wasn't i understand he insulted me
now she needed the help of the world-renowned british chef to save her tattered reputation
i need people who respect you i need them to listen to you not the online bullies and take
your word that you're saying that our food is good the couple wanted kitchen nightmares to save their
restaurant by telling the world that amy's baking company was fantastic contrary to what many people
might have heard online to get onto the show they submitted a video that sugar-coated the reality
of their situation quite a bit amy looked almost normal in it and sammy was described as a clueless
restaurant owner who waddled about not knowing what to do and when he did do something it was
the wrong thing like how he would talk back to customers what is the problem with it like that
don't know what is wrong with it if you came to it to enjoy then you should know what you like to
eat sir yeah it was pretty tame considering the horrors that were to come within the very first
few minutes of the kitchen nightmares episode we got to see a lunch service at amy's baking company
descend into chaos ramsay hadn't even arrived yet but his crew was there to document some of the
worst customer service anyone has ever seen after waiting for more than an hour for his pizza a guy
in a red checkered shirt walked up to the counter and asked for his food you won't believe what
happened next i mean no it's coming no no keep saying that you've been saying that for an hour
sammy just exploded on the poor guy and got so mad that he started shouting expletives at the man
coming you want to wait you wait you don't want to pay what did you do from here you understand me
he told him to pay and get out which was pretty strange as the dude didn't even eat anything yet
in support of her husband amy was yelling send him home from the kitchen like a lunatic
like where's my pizza really send him home things got so heated that the camera crew
had to intervene because sammy was threatening violence it was chaos if there's anything nice to
be said about amy's baking company it's that the restaurant was squeaky clean it seemed to be the
only thing right about it but the floor's shiny it's like a basketball court come please come
see you don't need it it's like a doctor surgery in here yes thank you thank you even the kitchen
was surgically clean everything in the freezer was tucked neatly in labeled containers this
was not the typical filthy kitchen you'd see on kitchen nightmares dates labels sectioned off wow
what a pleasure Ramsay then sat with sammy and amy to hear what the problems actually were he'd been
informed about the previous day's crazy incident but wanted to form his own opinion he listened
as they told him about the haters and bad reviews the famous chef also tried out one of their cakes
and thought it was as good as it looked and even complimented amy unfortunately the cake was a lie
she didn't even bake the cakes and yet she took the compliment her husband also said nothing and
just went along with it after the show aired amy did come clean about repacking and reselling the
cakes in an unhinged facebook rant she said we do not need this you stupid people america is about
reselling it's not a big deal the cakes we offer are expensive because we have to repackage and
ship them don't blame us because you can't afford quality the yelpers and now the reddits need to
back off you're not right just because of some tv show after the cake the food was next if it
was as good as they claimed it was then sammy and amy could salvage their reputation sadly this was
not the case but what else would you expect as if the hour-long wait times weren't bad enough their
food was mediocre amy sucked as a chef when Ramsay finally received his fig pear prosciutto pizza the
dough was raw and the pizza was too sweet Ramsay told sammy this but he never reported this to amy
because he thought it would make her very angry and nervous he knew she had zero tolerance for
criticism next was the blue ribbon burger it was an unbelievably greasy and soggy mess and the meat
wasn't even medium rare as he ordered Ramsay also tried the red pepper ravioli but that was
store bought and smelt very weird in short none of the food was any good worse than lying about the
cakes and the lousy food there was something else wrong with amy's baking company imagine giving a
waitress a nice tip only for the manager to take it from them that's precisely what sammy was doing
to defend himself he said that the waitresses weren't good enough and that he paid them a
reasonable hourly wage Ramsay is always friendly and pleasant to the wait staff so this didn't go
down with him very well at all he confronted sami in a heated exchange that led to sammy declaring
that he was a gangster and shouldn't be messed with what a joke well he might not be too far off
sami did actually have a criminal past while sami buzagwu was an israeli citizen he was born
in morocco before coming to america in the early 1990s he served time in prison on charges related
to drug trafficking and extortion a stint that barred him from ever entering france or germany
after the episode had aired a news report stated that sami was involved in an immigration and
customs enforcement case whose agenda was to deport him this was because he had not shared
his criminal background with us authorities before entering the country his wife amy
was also a hooligan she applied for a fifteen thousand dollar bank loan under false pretenses
and was arrested on october 11 2002. she pleaded guilty to one count of misuse of a social security
number and was sentenced to 14 months in jail amy served her time from 2008 to october of 2009.
at the time of her incarceration she was already married to sami since they had tied the knot in
2004 as for amy's poor cooking Ramsay confronted her next because sammy wasn't willing to do so
amy had a way of talking over people without ever considering what they were saying according to
amy her food was delicious people loved it and she was an excellent chef blue cheese marinated
mushrooms crispy bacon bits white truffle oil who comes up with those ideas i have never
had a problem with that hamburger ever it didn't matter if a michelin star chef told her otherwise
amy had a thick impenetrable skull and not only did amy demonstrate an inability to take any form
of criticism she would also lash out at anything that seemed remotely disrespectful to her or her
husband and you can't take that i can i'm ready for that i have no problems with the food i told
you about the burger you refuse to listen you come back with an excuse they both had a distaste for
anything that would make them appear as weak in amy's words if she didn't retaliate then she would
be a pansy to be completely honest she isn't any better than those eunuchs hiding behind computer
screens they were the cameltoe mafia at least they stuck together through it all in the end it was
apparent to Ramsay that amy would never change amy was beyond help so Ramsay did the only sensible
thing to do he turned his back on amy's baking company after the show aired people were shocked
everyone and their dog rushed to their keyboards ready to rain held down upon the utterly insane
owners and the bus zarglos had once more made the mistake of responding and sounding like complete
nut jobs you won't believe the kind of things that they wrote they said 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 amy then said something along the lines of i am a wonder woman i'm a great chef
a great wife and a great mom to my kids and we will be parents to a human kid one day as well we
will show all of you in another craze rant sammy said to all yelpers and reddits bring it on you're
please you're weaker than my wife and weaker than me my wife is a jewel in the desert you're just
trash what a delusional couple am i right anyway the restaurant closed down in september of 2015
two years after the kitchen nightmares episode had aired the couple then moved to california
before sammy was finally deported back to israel in 2015 we decided we wanted to take a break
we sold our restaurant we sold the restaurant we didn't close it amy followed him to his
country and the couple now live in a beautiful town by the beach in a town called netanya
