Kitchen nightmare comes to an end: Amy's Baking Company to close

[Tab]

The owners of a Phoenix-area restaurant who became notorious after yelling at unsatisfied customers and pocketing employees' tips during a volatile appearance on Fox reality show "Kitchen Nightmares" will soon close its doors.

Co-owner Amy Bouzaglo said Thursday that she and husband Samy Bouzaglo are in final negotiations to sell the property in Scottsdale but that they are keeping the Amy's Baking Company name. She plans to focus on making desserts for Phoenix-area restaurants and online instructional cooking videos.

The decision had nothing to do with lingering negative publicity from the show, though people on social media have assumed otherwise, she said.

"People want to say we're desperate and closing and bankrupt," Bouzaglo said. "Sorry, we're not. Sorry to burst your bubble."

She definitely does not have the personality for online cooking videos. Just go away.

5. like we need any more online cooking videos

Well, come to think of it, maybe she could do "service with a snarl" videos. I don't think there's anyone out there doing that.

6. I don't know, I once had someone on another blog tell me that he was a salesman

And that being rude to customers could increase sales.


I should mention that this same man also said that the Allies had a greater hand in the Holocaust than the Nazis did; that Abraham Lincoln supported slavery; that ancient Egyptians used cocaine and tobacco; that James Madison, the principal author of the Bill of Rights, opposed the Bill of Rights; that Islam was an offshoot of Arianism (an early Christian heresy that taught that Christ was divine, but of a lesser order of divinity than the Father -- Islam, of course, says that Christ was not divine at all).
