Because they're the ones who bare the brunt of pissed off customers when the food is bad and they probably bare the brunt of the chef's wounded ego when their food is sent back
At 22:46, it’s clear that the cameraman at some point saw a rabbit just hanging out and decided that was more worthy of being filmed than anything else at this restaurant. I agree, truly it was the highlight of the episode.
Gordon gets a bad rep among some people, because he yells at times, but I've noticed that he's always very nice to people who are honestly doing their best.
The young waitress is an example of exactly what you want from your Staff. Polite, sweet, warm smile and attitude and very professional but not to a point where it creates distance to the customer. She deserves so much better.. You can tell Ramsey had a soft Spot for her.
@@NikoCigojGordon is not stupid he knows the waiters and waitresses bear the brunt of pissed off customers when the food is bad and then they probably bear the brunt of a pissed off chef and they're precious ego because their food was sent back. I've seen wait staff be blamed and abused because the customer didn't like the food but fails to grasp the simple fact that they don't prepare or cook the food they serve it to you. I love eating out but I feel sorry the wait staff who serve me I'm a fussy eater but I'm always nice polite and leave and decent tip for them for having the patience with my fussyness around food lol
If shwa apply in to my restaurant i will hire her cos she know what to doa shes asking about customwrs food that in the kithcen that what i am looking for . The owesrs no manner and besuty in their hesrt
The problem is not that it's easy to change the things in the kitchen and the fridge, but that it's difficult to change people who are overwhelmingly stubborn, emotional and walled up in their own little world.
That is what people with severe personality disorders excell at. They might be able to execute organisational things meticulously but are otherwise a walking desaster. She clearly needs therapy.
For me, the most astounding thing is that they knew there were cameras the whole time. They knew they were wearing microphones, and still decided to cuss out their customers and employees.
@@CathieMercer They close the restaurant on the 2015 and, if I remember, Samy try one time to attack one customer with a knife before they close it. Amy is now if I am not mistaken on TikTok, and her husband has been banned from various countries until deported to Israel.
The things that are wrong with this restaurant are the facts that the husband and wife are delusional and the daughter is being mind controlled by her parents but she doesn't seem to mind
I feel so bad for that poor young waitress who got fired for asking a simple question because the owner said 2 different table numbers and she got confused. She was literally asking a question to make sure she did her job right and then got fired for it like wtf. I feel to sorry for her, I hope she finds a better job where she is actually valued and treated with the respect she deserves.
I generally think losing your job is bad, even bad jobs, but in this case, it really might be for the best. Talk about a toxic work environment. With how young she looked too, better not to have her start setting her bar for how a job should treat you there.
Atleast those are better than rough pizza dough. I can relate with Gordon, raw pizza dough is horrible, and I certainly dont want that taste in my mouth again.

What these people did, was the complete opposite of that. If I ever see these people near me I'd call security immediately and prevent them from even coming into the building. And if they refuse, oh look here come the police.

The fact that the owner's (wife I think?) fired her for having an "attitude". Like BROSKI. You got mad at a CUSTOMER for COMPLAINING about having waiting forever for their FOOD that they never GOT but ORDERED. Ma'am needs to be fired.
If you want a 2023 update on them here it is: Since 2008 Sammy was fighting his deportation back to Israel for criminal activity. They shut the restaurant in 2015 followed by going on Dr Phil and blaming their downfall on Ramsey and then Sammy got deported in 2018. She followed him. Made a video I think in 2021 still blaming Ramsey and the food critics and trolls online. She opened up a baking business and account. And still… to this day… is clapping back at negative feedback and comments in the most unprofessional and childish manner. And Gordan claps back by uploading the whole show years later. This guy is a menace and I love it🤣🤣🤣
That restaurant was definitely a money laundering front. There's no way they could have stayed open doing what they were doing for so long. At the time of filming, Samy was already risking deportation and if you notice, he never let anyone else touch the computer. He also stopped Amy from calling the police.
@@ventricality6997it's possible that was a decision by Amy who wasn't aware of what was going on-wouldn't be the first thing Sammy kept her in the dark about, lol. And since he can't stand up to her, he probably just buckled and let the show happen.
I absolutely love that "Don't FUCK with my" attitude from Gordon and he would have beaten this guy to the ground cuz the chef has a black belt under all of that kitchen experience.
I'm fairly sure that the previous staff never got anything back but I've been reading what other people are saying and they aren't in business anymore, in fact it was a money laundering scheme which is why he was able to invest so much money into the company, he got deported back to Israel due to past criminal history and illegally being in the states which is why you can see in the episode he stops his wife from calling the police and they got divorced, from other things I've read from multiple people is that she still sells her baked goods online in the states which I personally think she should stick with because even Gordon said they were great cakes, she's just not good at cooking
The fact these two are trying to sue Reddit, yelp and possibly Facebook just because they don’t want to admit their food is shit and people are exposing them along with this show is just hilarious. The biggest example of Karen and Kevin 😂
The aftermath of this episode was also incredible. They basically completely melt down on facebook, as thousands of negative comments poured on their facebook page, and they started to reply and insult the commentators. Which brought thousands of more insults. Until facebook took their page down. The episode made national news, the tax office started to look into Sammy's tax returns and found fraud. The restaurant closed after that.
I must have watched this episode over five times over the years, and I will never get bored with this insane, delusional woman. Someone give her her own show or something. :D
Absolutely! The Amy & Sammy Show. It would be endlessly entertaining, like a slow-moving train wreck that never ends, but simply moves from one bizarre crisis to the next. And at the epicenter of it: Amy!!! High ratings? You bet!
Agreed. Wanna know what i found ironic? Amy literally feels abused by all the costumers and their perspectives on her food and wants to change things up, yet her toxic ass denial personality can’t change anything and yet tends to argue with Gordon of how he’s wrong about everything and that he disrupted their dinner service yet he’s an expert chef who knows how to run a business and how to perfect one. Samy is a very agressive and delusional owner too, but I mean at least he was trying to make cooperation with Gordon and at least proved his honesty. I mean if Amy is that good with cakes, why tf wouldn’t she just open up a bakery? JUST a BAKERY?
I don't have a degree yet but this screams this narssistic personality disorder, always wants to be in control and cannot handle criticism, anything that goes a little against her feels like a direct personal attack to her when its not- yep NPD, npd for sure
Props to the cameraman who had to spend a day or two alone before Gordon arrived, filming and witnessing every horror and then not being able to convince Gordon to save himself.
@@Cutie_4Prince (3 months late, sorry!) wait was that the camera man? u mean the one at 7:20 or so, right? if yes, damn. it mustve been really bad - which it obv was - for people whose whole job it is to be impartial observers to step in, oh my god
Oh my god, poor kady. She was such a sweetheart and she was fired for what? Asking a simple question? Not only that but the other waitress didn’t get given tips and it all went to those awful owners.
A decade later, they got interviewed and they both are still delusionals that they are right! And Sammy is still doing the pose of folding his hands while looking grumpy and Amy still has that crazy eyes. I still believe these two are escaped asylum patients.
@@phoenix-xu9xj Absolutely not because Amy got arrested for identity stolen and then Sammy got deported not only from America but also from Germany. They currently live in Israel which is Sammy's hometown and Amy opens a bakery shop now at there. But they both are still delusionals that they are right and Amy used to attack anyone in the TH-cam comments before.
I feel like the people who look after Gordon's channel keep posting these Kitchen Nightmares episodes because Gordon went through so much while filming that show
i heard somewhere that the cakes weren’t even amy’s. she supposedly bought them from someone else. i’m not 100% sure if that was a rumor or not, but considering how wacky this woman is, i would not be surprised if it was true. these two were the most cruel owners i’ve seen on the show
Consider that they did not show one single scene of her baking or frosting anything. I highly doubt she was there at 3 am or she would have let us know ALL about it
im autistic and struggle with taking criticism, but i promise you that being self aware of your struggle is the first and probably most important step in not becoming like this. her problem is she doesnt understand the difference between bullying and criticism.
There's a difference between recognizing the criticism but still struggling with it and simply not acknowledging it and acting like you're above it. I struggle with taking criticism due to a multitude of factors, but I have learned to take a step back, let it sink in and let myself feel my feelings about it, and take it in stride. You're allowed to feel sucky about it! But just remember that (constructive and warranted) criticism is nothing personal, and doesn't reflect on YOU. :)
@@CDmusic10 It should not be. Criticism is saying you're doing the wrong thing. Here is what you can do to improve what you're doing or do the right thing. Remember the old saying sticks and stones will break my bones, words will never hurt me?
I know this is a reply on almost every episode of this show, but it's truly baffling this episode. They cleaned up the restaurant before he showed up. They organized the walk-in. They made the place look perfect. Why? What did they expect Gordon to say? "Holy shit, I have no idea why you're failing. The food is brilliant, and you're doing everything right. What's going on?" Just shrug and act like it's the world's greatest mystery?
they didnt want help they just brought gordon over to talk about how "good" the food was to prove customers wrong, because they were so deluded into thinking that only their opinions were right
The first few minutes I realized, that samy definitely is a criminal, because he don't let employees to touch his computer or handle the money. Only a criminal does that, because they think, everybody is like them and try to steal from them. And amy is simply mentally ill, you can see it in her eyes. I wrote their name with small letters, because they don't deserve any better after seeing how they treat other people. It's really sad :(
Yeah he has the crazy eyes as well, but the crazy violent eyes I’m pretty sure if the guys in the beginning would have went out the door without paying, they would have been massacred.
Amy really needs a massive reality check if she thinks she had done nothing wrong. In addition, if she thinks that her food is good, had she even tried it herself? I also do feel very sorry for what Katy had to endure as she didn't do anything wrong.
She says at the beginning that she realized she had a passion and talent for cooking at a young age, I can't help but think that she made grilled cheese sandwiches for her parents, and when they liked them she took that as 'I'm a professional cook'
Bravo Gordon! I would say a big percentage of owners that you have helped in the past didn't deserve your time energy and help. I been watching Kitchen Nightmares since they were first aired on TV and love rewatching on TH-cam. I think only you can do what you do, forget the swearing (which I think has its place, and some people need that shock factor) underneath that is a man that genuinely cares and has a undeniable passion for food and everything connected to it. You are not successful because you swear at people you are successful because of your drive to help people to be as successful as you are, so screw the ones that don't listen to good advice because they are going to fail anyway and continue to do what you do, and let that passion shine through.
Who cares. All Gordon wanted was to help them and because of their craziness and inability to handle the slightest amount of criticism, he had no choice but to walk out. He really said "if you're not willing to listen, I might as well stop wasting my time trying to save your business from closing"
He couldn't help them because Sammy is a sociopath and she is a demented narcissist. The only people who could help them are mental health professionals. The problem is, people like that never seek help because they cannot understand they need it and will rather blame the rest of the world for their problems. These people never changed, because they can't.
The only time I'm glad a restaurant went out of business from kitchen Nightmares the way they were treating their staff and customers is just horrible and appalling these two should never work in the customer service industry again let alone own a business that serves them SMH
I think Ramsey realizes that within the first 5 minutes of meeting them you can see it in his face expressions when he said you are both nuts he was dead serious
Sad thing about all of this is - Sammy and Amy actually got a lot of business after this aired. Even thought Gordon did nothing to improve them (because, obviously, they didn't allow him), people still went there after seeing this episode. They made a lot of money after being so rude. I don't care if people "just wanted to see how it really is"... they still gave them money after seeing this. It's just crazy... these two should never work with people again, ever!
@@joannetrueman6838wait, did you know the content of this episode before you went there? As in, did you go there because you saw it on kitchen nightmares? Because if so, i dont know what you expected, but its basically on you at that point^^.
@@joannetrueman6838 Not to be "that person", but when you're referring to a place, the proper word is "there". "Their" is when you speak about a couple or a group of people. As an example - "Their party was moved to a different location".
I would correct them as well, but I saw your comment before I did so. English is my 4th language and correcting americans is my bread and butter@@selenaignjatovic3566
7:17 If someone screamed at me then literally stood in my way at the door and demanded I pay for a meal I hadn't received, that guy would be getting a slap. Fair play to the customer for keeping his cool. He must have been furious.
She acts just like my mother, it's always intense and extreme, she acts sweet out of nowhere, but if you confront her about the awful things she did, she's starts to talk back, you can't argue with someone like that, narcissists think that everyone is jealous of them, and that they are perfect. My own mother stole from me thousands of euros, humiliated me several times, abused me verbally and emotionally.
Wow.. I'm very sorry you had to go through that.. well.. it might not seem much since it's just a stupid random TH-cam comment I guess but..I just hope your doing well after that even though, it's obvious that you still have that wound that is burning, I suggest you to go to a therapist and living away from your mother okay?
Narcissistic personality, it has different types but is a mental disorder... so sorry for you , get help to heal as it is a form of abuse ..and you deserve to understand and heal
Whenever I pay by card, I always hand the tip to the servers in cash tell them "this is FOR YOU". I'd go mad if I ever found out that the owners are taking the tips.
Ramsey is how we should all treat our servers. He always treats them with respect unless they show disrespect. Every episode he treats them with such kindness
It’s funny that at the beginning of the show Katy who got fired gave a good summary & critique & reached the same conclusions someone as experienced as Ramsy reached at the end. She even said he’ll be wasting his time & they are a lost cause which is an exact prediction of how the episode ended!
After that pre test of equipment night, the production team must have sat down at the bar in the local hotel and said: " and Gordon's here tomorrow, boy oh boy, this is going to be good, let's keep it normal, let's tell him it's a normal restaurant with normal restauranteurs, yes let's tell him that."
if I was being yelled at like that after literally asking about a pizza after waiting for an hour I would buy a billboard and advise people to never go there
i was really shocked when i saw gordon wasnt yelling or anything because i just wanted him to put them in place. But if even gordon is this calm in a video like this then he himself is confused.
It is very sad to see people behave in that way. In a way where they are not open to hearing a different perspective from someone outside of the emotion and who is a professional. I think we have all been there in our lives at some stage. I feel very sorry for Amy!
Don't feel any sympathy for her Amy is a narcissist she is incapable of feeling empathy for others she is all about herself and like all narcissists is very abusive
Not only they don't know how to behave. They also don't respect the law ( when they fired Katie ). If they'd behave like this in my country they would end up with broken bones
Amy almost seems to go complete psychotic mode at some points… the flat out ignorant statements are questionable… like when she said “you guys, I make great food” after freaking out on a customer OUTSIDE THE RESTAURANT… this is the best episode for mad owners 😂
Having worked in retail I did give back as good as I got when a customer went too far and I did a few times tell them to fuck off but that was when I was horribly abused, but I did own up and tell customers the truth if I made a mistake, apologise and fix it. Amy and Sammy are narcissists and narcissists lack social skills, they can't be reasonable and have a discussion because their way of thinking is "I AM RIGHT YOU'RE WRONG!" And they're very critical of others but are extremely sensitive to criticism themselves because they believe they're perfect, thats why Amy went crazy at Gordon they can't stand assertive and blunt people because they can't get away with abusing them. Also a narcissist is underappreciated in their own mind by those around them and they think they're superior to everyone else and expect special treatment
I was in the hospital for 5 months and I watched a lot of Kitchen Nightmares. My mom and I were so entertained during this episode. It was like the best thing lmao. Amy is insane.
They way Gordon treats the waiting staff is always so wholesome. He never fails in any episode
Because they're the ones who bare the brunt of pissed off customers when the food is bad and they probably bare the brunt of the chef's wounded ego when their food is sent back
The way Gordon treats the linecooks being payed 8 dollars an hour: 👹😈😡👺👿
Except his own staff which he shreds
@@이이-n4z8y His own staff are not paid $8 per hour.

The problem is not that it's easy to change the things in the kitchen and the fridge, but that it's difficult to change people who are overwhelmingly stubborn, emotional and walled up in their own little world.
Because they cleaned it a day before gordon came. They didnt show this in the episode. There is a longer one

I generally think losing your job is bad, even bad jobs, but in this case, it really might be for the best. Talk about a toxic work environment. With how young she looked too, better not to have her start setting her bar for how a job should treat you there.

" don't fuck with me, i'm the gangster" - coming from a man who's afraid of his wife
😂😂😂😂
In the world of the Culinary Arts Ramsey is the equivalent of one of the heads of The Nine Families.
( My little nod to the movie "The Godfather".)
@@ladyfreedomrocksthis.
He is VERY Afraid of her
💀💀💀
“sammy’s gonna hurt him”

Gordon would have fucked him up on the real. 😂
@bowlingstoned2113 For one he's much younger and exercises frequently .
And a Rugby player
A black belt is no help against a gun.
Sammy the bad ass gangster, getting pegged by his wife...haha..
I'm so glad that Ramsay walked. He might have given them a free renovation/ makeover which they didn't deserve .
You could see the crazy in her eyes. The eyes are the windows of the soul.
✨️
Yep. Nutty.
the woman doesn't even blink! She looks like she is on drugs...too wired
In Amy’s case, a soul is one of the things she’s lacking
The Eyes Chico, They Never lie
If I saw someone talking like that to a customer I’d leave the place in an instant.
And won’t come back.
That restaurant was definitely a money laundering front. There's no way they could have stayed open doing what they were doing for so long. At the time of filming, Samy was already risking deportation and if you notice, he never let anyone else touch the computer. He also stopped Amy from calling the police.
Great observations
Very smart
Yeah, but you wouldnt want the attention from a TV show, eitherm
@@ventricality6997it's possible that was a decision by Amy who wasn't aware of what was going on-wouldn't be the first thing Sammy kept her in the dark about, lol. And since he can't stand up to her, he probably just buckled and let the show happen.
Wasn't Samy a pimp?
Speechless. This is obscene. So much respect for Ramsey and how he handled them. Amy needs mental help.
People who can't take criticism will never get far in life
Perfect people who don't mistakes on their first try at anything they do in life are as rare as unicorns and leprechauns.
@@subarusama5673 that's called luck
well, these two made it all the way to Israel ;)
@@spartiataeosbecause the husband got deported there
Your comment is boring and pointless
I absolutely love that "Don't FUCK with my" attitude from Gordon and he would have beaten this guy to the ground cuz the chef has a black belt under all of that kitchen experience.
I'm pretty sure if you blew air on Samy too hard, he might break a hip. 🤣
That owner keeping those tips is SUPER illegal. Someone better have reported this and get the servers back the wages they had stolen from them
I'm fairly sure that the previous staff never got anything back but I've been reading what other people are saying and they aren't in business anymore, in fact it was a money laundering scheme which is why he was able to invest so much money into the company, he got deported back to Israel due to past criminal history and illegally being in the states which is why you can see in the episode he stops his wife from calling the police and they got divorced, from other things I've read from multiple people is that she still sells her baked goods online in the states which I personally think she should stick with because even Gordon said they were great cakes, she's just not good at cooking
That was sammy's pimp custom to keep the tips.
@@jazza5364 i think it turned out the cakes were also store bought
Gordon before he walked out he gave the waiter money. He felt bad for the waiters
It's only illegal in SOME states in the US. It's mostly NOT legally required in the US
The fact these two are trying to sue Reddit, yelp and possibly Facebook just because they don’t want to admit their food is shit and people are exposing them along with this show is just hilarious. The biggest example of Karen and Kevin 😂
She had him by the balls.
This will be a Kitchen nightmare classic FOREVER...
The aftermath of this episode was also incredible. They basically completely melt down on facebook, as thousands of negative comments poured on their facebook page, and they started to reply and insult the commentators. Which brought thousands of more insults. Until facebook took their page down. The episode made national news, the tax office started to look into Sammy's tax returns and found fraud. The restaurant closed after that.
this is THE kitchen nightmare of kitchen nightmares
It should be shown in every culinary class as example of how to NOT run a restaurant.
@@roarkwaswright No, its hell's nightmare kitchen

@@TheApplebanger I agree she doesn't deserve any, but imagine how absolutely unhinged and entertaining it would be!
Yes, so entertaining! lol
Ngl it does very entertaining 😆
Absolutely! The Amy & Sammy Show. It would be endlessly entertaining, like a slow-moving train wreck that never ends, but simply moves from one bizarre crisis to the next. And at the epicenter of it: Amy!!! High ratings? You bet!
Amy is literally INSANE, absolutely clinical
Agreed. Wanna know what i found ironic? Amy literally feels abused by all the costumers and their perspectives on her food and wants to change things up, yet her toxic ass denial personality can’t change anything and yet tends to argue with Gordon of how he’s wrong about everything and that he disrupted their dinner service yet he’s an expert chef who knows how to run a business and how to perfect one. Samy is a very agressive and delusional owner too, but I mean at least he was trying to make cooperation with Gordon and at least proved his honesty. I mean if Amy is that good with cakes, why tf wouldn’t she just open up a bakery? JUST a BAKERY?
@@darkseidwavyy 👏👏👏
Amy needs medical help.Seriously, her mental condition is very bad......Dr.Johnny is good option for her.
I don't have a degree yet but this screams this narssistic personality disorder, always wants to be in control and cannot handle criticism, anything that goes a little against her feels like a direct personal attack to her when its not- yep NPD, npd for sure
@@forgotmyname4807 Could also be Histrionic Personality Disorder, both are similar apart from the grandiose values.
These owners had the gall to to to Dr. Phil and say Ramsey ruined them. No, they ruined themselves.
They act like they were set up when they were filmed even before Ramsey showed up and the staff members even admitted what was happening was legit
Props to the cameraman who had to spend a day or two alone before Gordon arrived, filming and witnessing every horror and then not being able to convince Gordon to save himself.
Cameraman/woman never dies 🔥🔥
They even stepped in to try and help diffuse the situation with the guy and his pizza at the start, that takes some guts
@@Cutie_4Prince (3 months late, sorry!) wait was that the camera man? u mean the one at 7:20 or so, right? if yes, damn. it mustve been really bad - which it obv was - for people whose whole job it is to be impartial observers to step in, oh my god
Oh my god, poor kady. She was such a sweetheart and she was fired for what? Asking a simple question? Not only that but the other waitress didn’t get given tips and it all went to those awful owners.
And she didn’t even have an attitude when she asked.
A decade later, they got interviewed and they both are still delusionals that they are right! And Sammy is still doing the pose of folding his hands while looking grumpy and Amy still has that crazy eyes.
I still believe these two are escaped asylum patients.
are they still open??? how is it remotely possible with the public knowledge of them?? do people go for the laugh or?...

@@danos1011no I’m pretty sure they closed this restaurant years ago.

@@joshua_haileyHUH?? DO YOU MEAN THEY'RE GONNA MAKE NEW EPISODES??
i heard somewhere that the cakes weren’t even amy’s. she supposedly bought them from someone else. i’m not 100% sure if that was a rumor or not, but considering how wacky this woman is, i would not be surprised if it was true. these two were the most cruel owners i’ve seen on the show
Oh yeah, they were store bought.
Consider that they did not show one single scene of her baking or frosting anything. I highly doubt she was there at 3 am or she would have let us know ALL about it
Supposedly a cake store nearby came out and said she bought the cakes, and resold them for a higher price.
Most restaurants do the same but she charges a ridiculous amount and claimed they were hers.
That poor waitress that served Gordon his “food”. She’s obviously holding back tears
They were the most aweful people. Gordon put up with them wayyyyy longer then i would have. They are vile
✨️
I would have been out of there within the first half hour. Gordon has the patience of Job,

The fact that this video is not scripted makes it 10 times crazier and also funnier!!!
The poor waitress doesnt deserve to be treated like that.
i come back to this every few years and amys crazy eyes never get less scary. she is absolutely petrifying
As someone who has a hard time taking criticism because of my anxiety, I hope I never ever even come slightly close to this lady even once.
I'm anxious too - yet criticism is constructive. Not a personal attack.
im autistic and struggle with taking criticism, but i promise you that being self aware of your struggle is the first and probably most important step in not becoming like this. her problem is she doesnt understand the difference between bullying and criticism.
@pauljordan4452 My ocd and anxiety tend to turn criticism into a personal attack. It's a big trial to overcome.
There's a difference between recognizing the criticism but still struggling with it and simply not acknowledging it and acting like you're above it. I struggle with taking criticism due to a multitude of factors, but I have learned to take a step back, let it sink in and let myself feel my feelings about it, and take it in stride. You're allowed to feel sucky about it! But just remember that (constructive and warranted) criticism is nothing personal, and doesn't reflect on YOU. :)
@@CDmusic10 It should not be.
Criticism is saying you're doing the wrong thing. Here is what you can do to improve what you're doing or do the right thing.
Remember the old saying sticks and stones will break my bones, words will never hurt me?
People don't understand that Gordon came to point out a mistake, not a success.
He needs to show them what they're doing wrong

They ask Gordon for help and than get mad at him when he helps 💀
exactly
I know this is a reply on almost every episode of this show, but it's truly baffling this episode. They cleaned up the restaurant before he showed up. They organized the walk-in. They made the place look perfect. Why? What did they expect Gordon to say? "Holy shit, I have no idea why you're failing. The food is brilliant, and you're doing everything right. What's going on?" Just shrug and act like it's the world's greatest mystery?
they didnt want help they just brought gordon over to talk about how "good" the food was to prove customers wrong, because they were so deluded into thinking that only their opinions were right
The thing is gordon is only their to give them the tool to improve business but if they dont want to use it thats their grave
Honestly it makes no sense
17:42 The hiss sfx when Amy takes a giant knife off the wall LOL
The first few minutes I realized, that samy definitely is a criminal, because he don't let employees to touch his computer or handle the money. Only a criminal does that, because they think, everybody is like them and try to steal from them. And amy is simply mentally ill, you can see it in her eyes. I wrote their name with small letters, because they don't deserve any better after seeing how they treat other people. It's really sad :(
Pretty sure I saw somewhere that samy is involved with the mob so yeah..
I read some they were involved with drug selling
Probably why he refused to let Amy call the police as well
Yeah he has the crazy eyes as well, but the crazy violent eyes I’m pretty sure if the guys in the beginning would have went out the door without paying, they would have been massacred.
@@metalelli6219 lmao not even close
Amy really needs a massive reality check if she thinks she had done nothing wrong.
In addition, if she thinks that her food is good, had she even tried it herself?
I also do feel very sorry for what Katy had to endure as she didn't do anything wrong.
She says at the beginning that she realized she had a passion and talent for cooking at a young age, I can't help but think that she made grilled cheese sandwiches for her parents, and when they liked them she took that as 'I'm a professional cook'

Bravo Gordon! I would say a big percentage of owners that you have helped in the past didn't deserve your time energy and help. I been watching Kitchen Nightmares since they were first aired on TV and love rewatching on TH-cam. I think only you can do what you do, forget the swearing (which I think has its place, and some people need that shock factor) underneath that is a man that genuinely cares and has a undeniable passion for food and everything connected to it. You are not successful because you swear at people you are successful because of your drive to help people to be as successful as you are, so screw the ones that don't listen to good advice because they are going to fail anyway and continue to do what you do, and let that passion shine through.
I really doubt Gordon edits and uploads these himself, most likely this channel is run by his managers or something like that
✨️
I did it this way so I wouldn't have to keep writing Gordon but maybe he does read his TH-cam comments I don't know
Amys Baking is permanently closed btw. I was very glad to hear that. I wonder what's Gordon's thoughts on that.
Who cares. All Gordon wanted was to help them and because of their craziness and inability to handle the slightest amount of criticism, he had no choice but to walk out. He really said "if you're not willing to listen, I might as well stop wasting my time trying to save your business from closing"
He couldn't help them because Sammy is a sociopath and she is a demented narcissist. The only people who could help them are mental health professionals. The problem is, people like that never seek help because they cannot understand they need it and will rather blame the rest of the world for their problems. These people never changed, because they can't.
What a demented and narcissist she was!!!
The only time I'm glad a restaurant went out of business from kitchen Nightmares the way they were treating their staff and customers is just horrible and appalling these two should never work in the customer service industry again let alone own a business that serves them SMH
I think Ramsey realizes that within the first 5 minutes of meeting them you can see it in his face expressions when he said you are both nuts he was dead serious
“Who do you think you are”
He’s god damn Gordon Ramsey
Sad thing about all of this is - Sammy and Amy actually got a lot of business after this aired. Even thought Gordon did nothing to improve them (because, obviously, they didn't allow him), people still went there after seeing this episode. They made a lot of money after being so rude. I don't care if people "just wanted to see how it really is"... they still gave them money after seeing this. It's just crazy... these two should never work with people again, ever!
Just shows how stupid people can be.

Brothers so scared of his wife that he would like just to make her happy or satisfied.
She acts just like my mother, it's always intense and extreme, she acts sweet out of nowhere, but if you confront her about the awful things she did, she's starts to talk back, you can't argue with someone like that, narcissists think that everyone is jealous of them, and that they are perfect. My own mother stole from me thousands of euros, humiliated me several times, abused me verbally and emotionally.
Wow.. I'm very sorry you had to go through that.. well.. it might not seem much since it's just a stupid random TH-cam comment I guess but..I just hope your doing well after that even though, it's obvious that you still have that wound that is burning, I suggest you to go to a therapist and living away from your mother okay?

Narcissistic personality, it has different types but is a mental disorder... so sorry for you , get help to heal as it is a form of abuse ..and you deserve to understand and heal

I am suffering a similar thing. I feel so much for you, brother.
Whenever I pay by card, I always hand the tip to the servers in cash tell them "this is FOR YOU". I'd go mad if I ever found out that the owners are taking the tips.
I think this is the first time when kitchen is clean, no rotten food in freezer, but it is still a total disaster.
they genuinely just cleaned the day before probably to make sure there were no problems with that 💀
It's just like the owners: all facade, no soul or flavor.
I don't think the kitchen or the dining room was the issue this time it's clearly the bad owners
"I am the gangster, not you"- That was so telling.
Sammy is obviously using the restaurant to launder money and so won't let the servers use the pos 😂
That’s both sad and wrong
Maybe. I feel like he wouldn't want the attention of being on tv if he was doing something like that.
@Murkoph they're so delusional tho. He would definitely think he's smarter than everyone 🤣

Ramsey is how we should all treat our servers. He always treats them with respect unless they show disrespect. Every episode he treats them with such kindness
It’s funny that at the beginning of the show Katy who got fired gave a good summary & critique & reached the same conclusions someone as experienced as Ramsy reached at the end. She even said he’ll be wasting his time & they are a lost cause which is an exact prediction of how the episode ended!
Amy instantly starts blaming the customers
That's how narcissists roll.
It's honestly very sad

I really think, and I think that most would agree, Amy has an excellent menu and cooks to perfection. Gordon "FY" Ramrod is a complete moron.
24:49 she got really close to those knives as she got progressively angrier 😅😂

After that pre test of equipment night, the production team must have sat down at the bar in the local hotel and said: " and Gordon's here tomorrow, boy oh boy, this is going to be good, let's keep it normal, let's tell him it's a normal restaurant with normal restauranteurs, yes let's tell him that."
“I am the gangster not you” 💀
if I was being yelled at like that after literally asking about a pizza after waiting for an hour I would buy a billboard and advise people to never go there

It is very sad to see people behave in that way. In a way where they are not open to hearing a different perspective from someone outside of the emotion and who is a professional. I think we have all been there in our lives at some stage. I feel very sorry for Amy!
She can't listen because she is clearly demented. Her problem is psychiatric.
Don't feel any sympathy for her Amy is a narcissist she is incapable of feeling empathy for others she is all about herself and like all narcissists is very abusive
She's like a spoiled child who manipulates everyone around her with impunity. I doubt she'll ever change.

Having worked in retail I did give back as good as I got when a customer went too far and I did a few times tell them to fuck off but that was when I was horribly abused, but I did own up and tell customers the truth if I made a mistake, apologise and fix it. Amy and Sammy are narcissists and narcissists lack social skills, they can't be reasonable and have a discussion because their way of thinking is "I AM RIGHT YOU'RE WRONG!" And they're very critical of others but are extremely sensitive to criticism themselves because they believe they're perfect, thats why Amy went crazy at Gordon they can't stand assertive and blunt people because they can't get away with abusing them. Also a narcissist is underappreciated in their own mind by those around them and they think they're superior to everyone else and expect special treatment
