I've been keeping an eye on this place. It's fun to see a couple of
morons who have absolutely no customer service skills try to gain popularity after their public meltdown on Kitchen Nightmares and the various social media sites. So what's going on? Fruit Flies. From a recent Yelp Review after the grand-reopening: http://www.yelp.com/biz/amys-baking-company-scottsdale "Since both of us thought that the meal wasn't that bad, we decided to order the "famous" deserts. I ordered a Key lime pie slice and my friend got some chocolate cake. Sammy brought the slices over to us and I noticed something odd. There were fruit flies. On the top of my key lime pie. Let me repeat that. Fruit flies. On top of my pie. Two of them. Just chilling there. I called Sammy back over and asked what was up with these little bugs in my cake and he went off about there being a bug problem and how someone was bringing them in to sabotage them or something. He also said it better not be me or my friend or he'd throw us both out. No comp, no new pie slice, nothing. I had to eat the price of my bug pie. Because he thought I put it there. We paid our overly expensive bill and left as quickly as possible." And also fruit flies in martinis! http://www.abc15.com/dpp/news/region...-in-the-drinks A group which included a reporter who went to have dinner were accused of "planting" the flies in their drinks. Yeah, sure, everyone carries dead fruit flies around with them. Just to make a place look bad. Working as a server and a hostess, I've seen a lot of people try to scam free meals. The funniest was when someone told me a screw must have fallen out in the dishwasher and landed in the glass his drink came in. I don't know about you, but I place glassware in the dishwasher face down. They do that in restaurants, too. Was I supposed to believe the screw defied gravity and miraculously flew UP into the glass and stayed there? Not to mention, I think I'd have noticed a rather large screw in a glass of iced tea. Needless to say, these days this guy is probably carrying dead fruit flies around in his pocket. ![]() Jill |

You haven't seen that they are in deportation hearings? At first it was just Samy, but the next one I read said both are going... or rather, in danger of going. Unless their marriage is on the rocks, I don't envision him leaving and her staying. They need each other (and not in a good way) This is not the article, but it gives you the gist. http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2013/...nd-amy-bakery/ -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |

Oh, SURE!! Sabotage! But, what the heck, serve the pie anyway, fruitflies and all. No extra charge.
Hard to believe anyone can be that stupid. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. |

Most of the time the kitchens look like they've never been cleaned. The walk-ins have stuff strewn all over the place. Old, rotting vegetables in the fridge. Mold. The one good thing Ramsay had to say about Amy's Baking Company was the kitchen and storage areas were spotless. And the server they fired said yes, it was always clean. So they didn't just clean it up for the TV show. Ramsay never pulls any punches. They *had* to know that going in. That's why the producers of the show threatened to sue their asses off and they cancelled their press conference. I do believe Gordon Ramsay knows good food from bad. Of course it's television, but these people... really? When I order a burger med-rare I expect it to be juicy. I don't expect waterfall of grease dripping onto the plate. That burger they served him, you could practically wring it out like a sponge. EWWWW. Jill |

CA sets traps monitored by trained entymologist to determine if a captured fly is the dreaded "fruit fly". Myself, I couldn't tell a fruit fly from a house fly from a dog turd eating fly! It's all gone beyond the pale. Give it a rest. As for the flies .....KILL "EM ALL.... let god sort 'em out. Smoked one with my bug-a-salt, todsay. Woo-hoo!! ![]() nb |
