Clandestine

That crazy lady owner probably has narcissistic personality disorder or some delusional disorder.

No worries man, looking forward to watching the video when I get home. The tripe they put out on facebook, can't wait to see what it's like with Ramsey shoving it back to them.

The standards of cooking food and customer service in some of these Restaurants as shown on Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares is simply appalling and beyond belief , they make McDonalds food look like first class cuisine.

Can't look at any of the links in my phone. There was some stuff on reddit last night about it.

Anyone know the craic with it all?

A couple who had a spot on Kitchen Nightmares started giving out to people on Facebook. Threw in the old, thank god and everyone else commenting negatively against them are haters/sinners. To be honest, even that short summary doesn't really sum it up.

Basically the two owners are crazy. The wife definitely has some type of mental illness. They both roar at customers and staff.

She's a former jailbird and he looks like he might have some dodgy connections himself. Very entertaining TV.

After the show aired, they've been having battles on facebook and yelp with people. Their yelp page is hilarious.

I kind of feel sorry for them. Seems like they both need some sort of mental health care but doubt they'll ever seek it for themselves.
Also shouldn't this be in the TV forum?

I don't. They were both really nasty to the waitresses and staff, even made one young girl cry on the show They also stole tips and kept them.

Not even that, they clamed they were hacked by someone on Reddit/Yelp and were getting the FBI computer dept. to track them down.. In addition to planning to start legal proceedings against people on Reddit

Fúcking morons

I think someone may have hacked their yelp. Some of the comments from the owners are really funny.

There's loads of different fake facebook accounts up now aswell.

I am watching the full episode, it looks like the yelp stuff came first (where they abused reviewers) and they lost business because of it, so they brought Ramsey in to help the defend them against the 'Internet bullies', they are completely crazy.

The OP clip does not do justice to how absolutely unhinged they are...

They both need psychiatric help imo. She'll probably top herself as a result of all this, and some idiot politician will try to have the show taken off air... or ban online restaurant reviews or some ****.

Toto Wolfcastle

Watched the show last night. It was awesome. Funniest thing I've seen in a long time. Amy doesn't seem to be the smartest. I can't see how she thought she could pull the wool over Gordan's eyes.

mrsdewinter

Ended up watching the show on YouTube this morning - hilariously deluded couple. I can't stand Gordon Ramsay but this pair are so seriously cray-cray, I could easily forget his presence.
Must head over to yelp...

JohnMarston

I love how the true horror of that restaurant slowly unravels before Ramsey. He should have been very afraid after seeing how great it looked on the outside

pablomakaveli

Just watched this after seeing it on Reddit. I actually couldn't believe what i was watching. That woman is one of the most deluded people i've ever seen.

Some people have claimed that the restaurant may be a money laundering front run by the husband. Sounds unbelieveable but when the evidence of it is analyzed it actually seems to make sense.

One reason ,for example, is that the husband is the only one who operates the till. This would allow him to ring up for imaginary customers without it being detected which might happen if a waitress were to operate the till as well.

orestes

I read the thread, thought "oh c'mon, it can't be that crazy", started watching the youtube video, and after about 4 minutes actually paused it to go to the kitchen and microwave popcorn to watch the rest of it.

Sometimes you just have to sit back, smile and think "I fukking love the internet"

say he was a gangster

DrumSteve

This was cringe worthy excellent tv.

I came across this on Reddit too and immediately had to watch it, cant believe how much its doing the rounds online at the moment.

You must have read the same post I did, but if anyone else is curious this is a really interesting take on what might be going on. Possibly shady dealings here...

I can't even.....

That was awesome...

This is why the interenet was invented... For crazy mafiosos people and their cat babies.

Ihatecuddles-old

Can't wait to watch it tomorrow. I love Gordon Ramsay.

Turtwig

Apparently Katy, the waitress that featured from the show is doing an AMA right now.

Have to say that couple need help not ostracism.

Edit: Wow!

Brilliant episode. Really cheered me up

I don't really like the US Kitchen Nightmare that much but this is solid gold.

Halfway through the episode. I always wondered how the crazies I encounter on the Internet function in real life. Now I know.

I'd give amy one as well.

seamus

Definite paranoid narcissistic personality disorder. I have an aunt with the same thing.

Lives in complete denial/fantasy about the world around her, putting herself at the centre of everyone's world and assumes that everyone else believes she is the centre of their world. The slightest comment (no matter how minor or well-intentioned) that asserts that the person is less than perfect is considered a venomous personal attack and is countered with a reaction that can only be described as nuclear.
All mistakes and errors are someone else's fault. In the person's mind they are perfect, flawless and incapable of failure unless someone else interferes to cause failure.

The key is that they're not necessarily clever or intentionally malicious about things. They truly believe what they think about themselves and they are basically unshakeable from that position. The entire condition can be summed up as, "I'm not wrong, you're just jealous". This makes it almost impossible to treat them. My aunt selects her psychiatrists. The ones who try to make any suggestion that she may not be right get a stream of abuse, threatened with legal action, etc etc. Then she moves on until she finds an incompetent psychiatrist who buys into what she says and prescribes medication. Once that psychiatrist figures out he's been played, more abuse and she moves on.

They also often manage to surround themselves with people who hide or don't realise their craziness. These people usually act as a form of shield against criticism, especially spouses or siblings who are terrified of the person exploding and lashing out. Amy is a bit unusual in that she's a bit exposed to criticism that her husband doesn't always manage to deflect.

Any attempt to reason with such a person is completely banging your head against a brick wall because they are not reasonable people. In their head they assume you exist to make them happy.
Although she is indeed emotionally unstable and likely to break down over the stream of abuse they're getting, afaik suicide among people with this disorder is actually quite low, purely because of their ability to deny that the world isn't a place which loves them.

Still quite a dish despite the crazy.

Why do people take such pleasure from witnessing the tragic collapse of others?

That lady really needs psychological help. She does appear to suffer from a psychological complex but it appears more so that she's putting up a front to not appear a pathetic pushover. What's happening on facebook is clear bullying. Yes the lady is in the wrong but she does not deserve that unrelenting hatred from people posting instinctively all the crap that comes up in their puny brains without any higher considerations or filters.

The internet is turning one lady's irresponsibility into mass worldwide social suicide!

For Forks Sake

They've gone through about 3/4 different facebook pages at this stage trying to get away from the 'haters and bloggers'. This parody one has some funny sh*t on there: https://www.facebook.com/CrazyAmysBakingCompany?fref=ts

I respectfully disagree. The way these two people treat their staff and customers, they deserve everything they get imo.

It's fairly easy to overcome. Abstain from the internet for a week or two and they'll have moved on to something else.

Just think that through though.

What do you hope to accomplish by giving them their comeuppance?

i) You're not helping this couple.
ii) You're not doing anything to prevent this couple from causing grievances to people in future. If anything you're adding fuel to the fire, making them increasingly likely to lash out on someone.

Giving people their comeuppance or what they deserve accomplishes nothing other than creating new problems and creating new jerks/bullys.

I havent given them any comeuppance however lots of others have and if i received the backlash they are receiving it would make me think "i may be in the wrong here"

This couple by the looks of it are beyond help. If a world famous chef with multiple Michelin stars and restaraunts under his name says you are doing something wrong, don't tell him to fuck off but maybe listen and learn

The only way to stop these people treating others this way is to get a taste of their own medicine because if you try to explain it to them, they shout, scream, cry or do anything except listen and accept criticism

Amy constantly whines about bullys yet she does the very same thing to her customers and staff.
