Arizona restaurant owners go ballistic on Facebook
The owners of a restaurant that recently appeared on ‘Kitchen Nightmares’ responded to some online critics with an astonishing stream of invective. UPDATE: Owners claim their social media accounts were hacked.
That’s the tack the owners of Amy’s Baking Company Bakery Boutique & Bistro, Samy and Amy Bouzaglo, took this week after a less-than-favorable appearance on Fox’s “Kitchen Nightmares” led to some rude comments on the eatery’s Facebook page.
On the show, Chef Gordon Ramsay decided the Scottsdale, Ariz., eatery and its owners were beyond help.
Initially, the couple posted a thank-you to customers the day after the show aired. The tone turned around pretty quickly, however.
The next post, written in all-caps, says: “I am not stupid all of you are. You just do not know good food. It is not uncommon to resell things Walmart does not make their electronics or toys so lay off!!!!”
By Monday evening, that post had made its way to Reddit, and the couple went nuclear on Redditors and on those people who left unfavorable reviews on Yelp—which would appear to be most reviewers.
