people that YELP are scumbags

Or the Kitchen Nightmares thread. ;-)

daaaaaaamn!

i watched the ep on YT this morning, it is worth it

"AMERICA IS ABOUT RESSLING, (sic) IT IS NOT A BIG DEAL. THE CAKES WE OFFER ARE EXPENSIVE BECAUSE WE HAVE TO REPACKAGE AND SHIP"

Honestly don't know what this means. Riesling? Wrestling?

(oh, duh, figured it out)

america is about wrasslin'

What the hell...

Jesse and I used to belong to a gym in Chicago and the owner had a similar public, anti-customer freakout. This was in the early 00s so I don't think he had a Facebook page. He had to content himself with posting angry letters on the door to the gym.

I wonder what it is about some small business owners that make them completely snap. Probably whatever it is that made them unemployable such that they had to open their own (doomed) business to earn any income.

these people didn't snap tho, from all accounts they're just like this 24/7. and the husband is a millionaire, they don't seem to have much to lose

yeah I just started watching -- besides their behaviour, husband won't let serving staff enter their own tickets, OR HANDLE MONEY
wtf

also I think that AMERICA IS ABOUT RESSLING might be intended to mean RESELLING?

no idea. rasslin' sounds more plausible

there are so many amazing posts on that Facebook page

I don't want to tell you, but she meant "re-selling."

oh dear

We like to call them the “Camel Toe Mafia” just a bunch Pussies hiding behind a computer screen. Or working for YELP

I like the absurdity of an all caps rant that AMERICA IS ABOUT RIESLING.

GO TO THE FINGER LAKES, THEY'LL TELL YOU!

WE ARE NOT FREAKING OUT. WE DO NOT CARE ABOUT A "WITCH HUNT" I AM NOT A WITCH. I AM GODS CHILD. PISS OFF ALL OF YOU. FUCK REDDITS, FUCK YELP AND FUCK ALL OF YOU. BRING IT. WE WILL FIGHT BACK.

This is a negative zero disgrace to the community. My daughter was PHYSICALLY attacked by the owner and daughter. The issue was: my daughters card was declined and the workers in their rude language started going hay wire, yelling at her and when she wanted privacy to call me she wanted step outside AND leave her purse inside. They phyiscally attacked her and tried to lock up inside. Sadly to say there was customers inside. There after she called me in panic to bring her money, not to mention we live a 50 yards away. Long story a sheriff showed up due to neighbors called for help, that's how radical Elite for with a loyal customer of 1 year. Nevertheless, sheriff's stated as owners and if they. "felt" she was going to steal they could've "beat the shit out of her". So so sad. Our local sheriff's dept let down their fellow sheriff explorer. This sounds crazy but its true we have pictures and footage of the after math. Highly considering a cival lawsuit due to visible damages to her chest and arms.

They are garbage... How dare they come to our country where my grandparents put their lives on the line for us and these foreigners come here and abuse us. Shame on them

The pizza gave me cancer.

The flourless mini-cakes WERE pretty good. But, again...the pizza gave me cancer. The cancer prevents me from giving this place five stars. You should not - I repeat, you should NOT - get cancer from pizza-foods at a restaurant. Cancer from flourless mini-cakes? Totally understandable. But that's not where my cancer came from. It came from the pizza.

Parking is impossible.

like i've watched a lot of kitchen nightmares and you take half it with a grain of salt and the other half that some people are dumb/aggressive and maybe shouldn't own restaurants but this is waaaay more amazing than I expected

My husband's family lives in AZ and we went there when visiting them. It was a terrible and surreal experience.

The restaurant was empty; we were the only people in there. A waitress came over quickly, she was friendly and took our drink orders right away. We were advised not to get the pizza by the rest of the family, so most of us ordered a variety of burger.

We got no food for around 40 minutes. In that time, we heard what I can only describe as a medley of horrors come from the kitchen. First we heard screaming...a lot of screaming. Then we heard soft crying, then some odd creaking as though someone were rocking themselves back and forth. Finally we heard some manic laughter, followed by what I assume to be plates breaking.

After 40 minutes or so, our waitress finally came out, but with only one burger. She said it was the only one we would be receiving. I noticed the burger had a ring of french fries around it in a circular pattern, and then leading up off the plate. I asked the waitress if this was normal, and she replied that she was being ordered to tell us to choke on our NOOSE burger. I asked if this was a joke, and she shook her head no and said she was sorry. She didn't even charge us for the meal, so hurray!

I just wanna highlight this because it's amazing:

she replied that she was being ordered to tell us to choke on our NOOSE burger

This is in my hood

i don't know if the following is true, but chew on this comment from tucson weekly:

Her real name is Amanda Patricia Bossingham.

The court ordered her to pay $36,294.95 in restitution. Ms. Bossingham plead guilty to submitting an application for a line of credit with M & I Bank using the social security number of another person. The Bank approved the line of credit in the amount of $15,000.

On June 15, 2004, the Court sentenced her to fourteen months prison. (she appealed, but eventually lost, reported to prison in Oct, 7, 2008)

This "bakery" is owned by felons involved in identity theft - likely a money laundering operation for Sammy

even if it's half true that's insane

OTM, this was amazing television and one of the greatest villains ever to grace the small screen... but now I really can't shake the tension in my shoulders now, everything in my entire life that has ever made me want to scream out loud in public has come rushing back to me.

In case you missed it in the Kitchen Nightmares thread

Salomon “Samy” Bouzaglo, who owns Amy’s Baking Company along with his wife, Amy, is involved in a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement case to revoke his residency status, his lawyer said Tuesday. Scottsdale immigration lawyer David Asser said the case against his client started two years ago and was the subject of a removal hearing Monday.

On Tuesday, Amy’s opened to a thin crowd and began serving those holding reservations at 5 p.m., using security guards to prevent gawkers, media and others without reservations from entering. The restaurant had a sign saying its patio was closed for security reasons. The reopening appeared to be running without incident for the first wave of diners. Some onlookers showed up hoping to snag a reservation, but most were turned away. The nearby Pita Jungle restaurant appeared to be drawing more business than Amy’s.

It didn't taste like the regular Vietnamese (yes, I know they call it Cambodian) sandwich, and it was good.
