I am not a fan of Gordon Ramsey but this just changed my mind.

Never eat food from an establishment who is in the midst of a bitter feud. I don't recall the name of the fighting couple in War of the Roses but I can't forget the image of the enraged husband taking a whiz on his wife's gourmet meal.

Facebook, Twitter and other social media are so powerful that they can be used to elect ineligible candidates, destroy well-qualified candidates and businesses, etc. — or accomplish just the opposite. I pray that conservatives will use the “new media” a lot more.

I never miss Gordon. He’s non PC and says what people need to hear. THIS couple was Bat S**t crazy. I’ve long been of the opinion that Ramsay should bring a psychiatrist along with him because so many of the owners need mental help. They have the money to buy a business but are emotionally and mentally incapable of working with others. This particular woman looked seriously bipolar- wild eyed- and Gordon saw it right away. He even commented on her eyes! Here’s a man who has restaurants all over the world and these yahoos with failing businesses ARGUE with him! This place should go down in flames ASAP.
The fact that so many people like this are serving food is downright frightening.

If you saw the Kitchen Nightmares episode you saw that Amy is the very definition of a spoiled princess, including the royal meltdown at the slightest hint of criticism - or even if she percieves a lack of sufficient praise.

lol...hilarious! I’ve always liked Gordon...a breath of fresh air in an age where people are so afraid of speaking their mind.

Just up the “street” from me. Funniest episode of KM ever. You knew Amy was crazy when she said that her husbands stable of girls back in his wild Vegas days (when they met, her in the stable) was hotter than Hefner’s.

ABC is a mile from my house, so I stopped by this morning to see if the tsunami of negative publicity had forced them to shut down yet. It hasn't - but there was a sign in the window saying "We are currently hiring for ALL positions."

Good luck. :)

I only ate there once, a couple of years ago. I guess the husband served us - I remember his hair as being darker (though I suppose the fact that he's still alive at all after being married to THAT for so long proves he's as tough a gangster as he says he is...) He wasn't rude to us - I guess because we paid the bill and didn't complain. Service was slow, food on the low side of mediocre, and the prices very high. We sat outside, so we didn't hear any screams from the kitchen.

With another good breakfast restaurant right across the parking lot, I've never felt the need to return to ABC since. We go to the other place at least twice a month. I didn't even know about all the controversy until I saw the linked website then watched the episode yesterday, but historical Yelp reviews suggest they have been an ongoing soap opera in town for years. This economy is not forgiving toward dilettantes with rich husbands, so when the old guy runs of money they'll be done. Gordon Ramsey did his best to put them out of our misery, but they can probably fool enough tourists and seasonal residents to pay their rent so I suspect we haven't heard the end of this sordid tale.

From their Facebook page:

Obviously our Facebook, YELP, Twitter and Website have been hacked. We are working with the local authorities as well as the FBI computer crimes unit to ensure this does not happen again. We did not post those horrible things. Thank You Amy &Samy

Hacked by low-level employees, no doubt.

I suppose there are at least two kinds of posters on this thread, but generally two. One, people who have owned or served as executive chef in restaurants, and everyone else.

Trust me - in the restaurant business over 90% of your fired employees will talk smack about you, and they’re easy to find.

There are plenty of egotistical dicks in kitchens, and owning restaurants.

Yes, it is bad to call something “fresh” when it’s not, and I never did it.

But you know what? IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

And people get fired ALL THE TIME for all sorts of reasons.

...And though the focus is on the ravioli it could have been any of a THOUSAND things that “aren’t quite right” or “aren’t quite honest” in almost EVERY kitchen.

If you don’t know this, you don’t know this.

Their big mistake was inviting this guy into their kitchen and signing whatever release they signed.

His job is to make fools of people and he’s good at it.

Even worse than the restaurant stealing the worker’s tips is the workers have to pay taxes on an “assumed” amount of tips. So their workers not only didn’t get their tips to begin with, they will have to file taxes as if they did. Yikes!
