http://www.tvguide.com/News/Kitchen-Nightmares-Finale-Video-1065167.aspxWow, he usually deals with stubborn owners, but last nights couple took the gold medal...Obnixious, mean, condescending, stubborn...Amy the co-owner had to be from hell..
Usually, Gordan comes in to a strugling restaurant redoes the menu, w/his design staff makes over the restaurant sometimes adding in brand new ovens, freezers, and other expensive equipment...
But last nights couple were so beyond help, and at the end, for only the 2nd time in over 100 shows, he had to walk out...

Screaming at customers.

(18,705 posts)I love shows like this.
I watch all of them.
There are shows about hotels, bars ,and another restaurant show.
This episode looks good.
I don't like to eat out after watching these shows.
I always wonder how clean the kitchen is, is the food fresh.

Actually the kitchen on this final episode was clean, but it went downhill real fast after an ok start...Gordan did compliment a dessert he had when he first came in, but again, it went downhill real fast to the point where he left...

He had some dirty kitchens to deal with, and hard headed people.

(3,166 posts)"Hell's Kitchen" is ok, but i don;t like Master Chef at all, cannot stand the one judge, the bald headed guy - he's so arrogant he makes Donald Trump seem humble..He is repulsive..

(53,959 posts)He was correct though, any changes he would have made or suggested would have immediately been reversed (like that doofus who had is own Elk farm). That couple was over-the-top nuts!

(24,229 posts)as it happened.
It was awesome episode but even better is the response on Amy & Samy's Facebook page.
These people have no clue how to take criticism or handle social media.
Oh and they are thieves and breaking the law by taking their employees tips which they admit on the show but deny on their FB page
It is a fraudulent action against their customers.
But their denial brings a roar from the internet that was at 2200 responses last night.
You should read some of the responses they are very entertaining as are the reviews on yelp.
We do not feel the need to make any excuses for our behavior on tonights show.
However we would like to make the following statement:
We do not, nor have we ever stolen or taken any of our servers ,waitresses, or waiters tips at Amys Baking Company.
We pay our staff members anywhere between $8.00 to $14.00 per hour to ensure that at the end of the week regardless of it being busy or not, that they go home with money and a well paid paycheck. As do many other restaurants.
They are aware of this when they are hired.
I would challenge any of our employees past or present to come forward with proof that we have ever done such a horrible thing.
So please enjoy the show!
Amy & Sam

(18,705 posts)It is suppose to be free for the first week or something.
I watch a lot of tv online now.
I am thinking of just getting rid of the cable and keeping the internet service.
It is like paying double.

(7,955 posts)I actually googled "Amy's Bakery" today and got an eyeful. It turns out "Amy" isn't her real name and she has spent time in the hoosgow for credit card fraud. She is a narcissistic nut, and her sugar daddy is crazy too. They deserve to fail.
