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.

They weren’t answering their phone last night when one of my family tried to call to make reservations. (for dessert only)

That is just ridiculous. Okay first of all the hiring we have a lot of employees who are jumping from job to job its not us doing it and some of them have bad mouths and are rude so they had to go. Sammys hair was dark because he dyed it. He doesnt anymore I love him no matter if he’s grey or not. When did you eat there? why were the prices high? I never got any of those complaints about being too high. Its ridiculous.

The only time we ever got slowed down was because we had a lot of customers and a lot of orders. This was probably before the bullies came. Also we don’t serve breakfast so youre probably lying to say that the guys across the parking lot do that.

You probably for all I know never ever even visited Arizona or Scottsdale

Doesn't sound like a place I'll be heading to anytime soon.

When I visit Arizona, I like to eat At Tortilla Flat up in the Superstition Mountains for some good chile, the Texaz Grill in Phoenix for steak, the Union Oil truck stop in Kingman for biscuits and gravy, or Joe & Aggie's Cafe in Holbrook for chiles rellenos or huevos rancheros.

In the past, I've liked Chretin's in Yuma for its Mexican cuisine, but customer reviews on Internet sites indicate that it may have gone downhill since it changed locations.
