Someone commented on a blog where she stole a picture, informing the writer. He said he got it from google and just forgot to mention that. She's so bad she takes from google images? Pathetic. And hilarious.
Only the combined awesomeness of second comings of Christ, Buddha, and Bruce Lee could rival the greatness of this restaurant!
Let me tell you, before I was introduced to Amy's Baking Company, I was 300 pounds over weight. I had nothing to live for. My wife left me for my sister, I was caught for embezzlement and fired from my job, my two kids ran away from home, and I had a $200,000 debt in unpaid taxes.
After roaming the street homeless for about 3 months, and not having taken a shower and contracting herpes from a toilet, I was at an all time low. That is, until I went inside and met Amy and Amy's Baking Company.
The moment I stepped inside I knew I was in for something special.
Finally, a place where a man could smell like urine and feces and NOT feel ashamed!
Having ate from garbage cans and leftover molded pizza, I thought I was at the bottom of the barrel. But when I saw Amy's selection of food, it made me feel better knowing that eating from garbage bags wasn't so bad after all, it was actually an upgrade from what the poor saps that visit Amy's get to buy!
As if that wasn't enough, I met the owner Amy and her dad (I am guessing it's her dad) Sammy.
You see, I had lost all my teeth from smoking crack and aged 10 years in the matter of 3 months. But this Sammy guy makes me look like BRAD PITT! I have renewed confidence now to approach the ladies and hopefully begin a modeling career. If he can go out in public WITHOUT a paper bag over his head AND own a restaurant, why couldn't a homeless man like me not be America's Next Top Model? Next to him I look like his son, and I am 58!
By the way, I have added my picture to my profile here on Yelp! That is from my Photo Shoot I had not too long ago! That is me in my avatar.
In conclusion, Amy made several sexual advances to me and fondled my penis.
So if any of you out there are looking for a quick, easy lay and someplace that will make you feel infinitely better about yourself no matter what condition your life is in, visit Amy's Baking Company!

Even if he did mention he found it on Google -- who uses someone else's photos to advertise their products?!?

Him not mentioning it isn't my point. It's that she's not even stalking real food blogs and trying to get a picture that hopefully is obscure enough people wouldn't notice like I assumed when I read your comment. Fraudulent, but at least semi-smart about it. But she's just doing a google search. I'm honestly flabbergasted at that. These people are so insane.
I wish they would come over here glittergate style.

I assume they don't bake all their stuff, and just buy and re-sell things that other companies/bakers make.
Which defeats the purpose of having a bakery. And can be deceptive if they're repackaging.
Ramsay's main complaint wasn't about the baked goods (the episode didn't really touch on that), it was the other foods. The menu had items listed as homemade/housemade, but the raviolis and other items were frozen and reheated. And their prices ($16 for ravioli!) were ridiculous.
Maybe they figured if it worked for crApplebees, it'd work for them.

Now, these people seemed half baked (see what I did there?) But Yelp is a bit unsavory. There have been multiple reports of retaliatory feedback on yelp if you don't advertise with them. They'll created sock puppets and post a bad review and they somehow slip through the "filter."
I'm pretty sure yelp is not all is cracked up to be. I still read reviews there, but I take the one off reviews with a HUGE grain of salt. Which none of the crazy lady's are, but here's a tangent to enjoy!

Meh. I review on Yelp fairly regularly and they for sure have their issues, but I trust the reviews for the most part. There are scammers always, on any site, so you do have to assess the reviews with a grain of salt.
ETA: And... I just read the slew of obviously troll reviews on their page. While the owners are cuckoo for cocoa puffs, I hope Yelp gets those down quickly - at least the obvious ones. I still claim I want to go try this place out just so I can check in and get famous.

I watched that episode and as much as I know some of the Kitchen Nightmare stuff is staged that bitch looking authentically CRAZY. Look at the yelp reviews from back in 2010 they are pretty consistent in the owners being abusive. I bet the production team of Kitchen Nightmares salivated when they were contacted abut going into this restaurant. This is better than the episode in which they went to Peters on Long Island and a fight broke out.
They must be taking legal advice from Mckmama. (Did anyone follow Mckmama when she told everyone on Facebook she was writing down names so she could sue them for slander and then she went on Twitter and issed a cease and desist? EPIC.)

"we have three little boys, but they're trapped inside cat bodies"
can't...breathe...
please tell me they're referring to their cats as their children (something i would never condone under normal circumstances) instead of saying their real children think they're cats.

Yes, they're referring to their cats as their kids.

LOL
Although, my real child thinks she's a cat. She ate dinner from a bowl on the floor last night while meowing.
Wait... how does a restaurant even get on to "Kitchen Nightmares"? Do they have to be nominated? Can they request that Ramsey come to their venue? I don't get how this whole thing started but those folks are seriously whack-a-doodle.
Can I request Gordon Ramsey come to my kitchen... uh, jam producing facility?
This may have been answered already, I'm still on page 2... However, there's a message at the end of every show that says something to the effect of "if you're the owner of a failing business and you want Ramsay's help call/email us".
I checked out the site once, you have to prove that you're the business owner as you nominate yourself.
All of the kitchen shows that I checked out require the owner to nominate themselves.

I have to prove it? Damnit. I just want Gordon Ramsey hanging about my house for a while.
The fact that they had to have nominated themselves, plus their attitude at the beginning of the show makes me think that they expected Ramsay to come in and say "Everything is awesome - it's clearly these internet haters who are ruining your business. Let me use my celebrity power to get all those negative reviews removed."
