I'm not a reality show fan but saw a post about this somewhere else, so got sucked into the episode on You Tube last night. It was one of most mind-boggling examples I've ever seen of truly crazy people masquerading as normal. Apparently it all started with some negative Yelp reviews of their restaurant/food. They yell at their customers (threatened to call the police on one who was leaving after waiting an hour for a pizza), steal their waitstaff tips, all the while portraying themselves as victims. Gordon Ramsey showed amazing restraint in his interaction with them(!). I'm still shaking my head every time I think about it!

I know, Amy, I thought of you when I was posting earlier. But one look at that Amy and her colossal narcissism/psycho behavior (not to mention that it appears that she can't cook a lick) instantly voids the similarity. And Jean, me too! I was sitting at my kitchen counter watching it on my laptop at 1 a.m. and could hardly keep my eyes open but there was NO way I was going to turn it off until it was over!

Yesterday their Facebook page was, um, interesting, but many posts have been deleted and they now claim that they had been hacked.

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.

For more details, please contact Michael Saucier.
