Amy’s Baking Company Closing On Reality TV Show Deal, Thanks To Nasty ‘Kitchen Nightmares’ Fame!

http://radaronline.com/exclusives/2013/05/amys-baking-company-reality-tv-deal-kitchen-nightmares/

Amy’s Baking Company owners Amy and Samy Bouzaglo are making the best of their nasty and embarrassing appearance on Gordon Ramsay‘s Kitchen Nightmares by capitalizing with their own reality TV show, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.

The off-the-wall and loud-mouthed couple is currently entertaining several offers from production companies for their own show — and an insider tells Radar that Amy and Samy hope to seal the deal.

“Right now Cineflix is the most serious production company trying to secure Amy and Samy. They want to develop a show around their restaurant and their bad behavior,” the source revealed.

“Amy and Samy are all for it because they feel like it’s the only way to keep their restaurant open.”

I only watched the full 40 minutes of their episode because I was paralyzed by shock. They are two of the most miserable and obnoxious people I have EVER seen.

I would rather watch a reality series devoted entirely to hemorrhoidectomies.

I think any production company who signs them is stupid. People will watch one, maybe two episodes at most then stop.

We, in fact, do not. There may be some popular reality shows that feature asshole characters, but they are basically there to provide conflict and drama with the more "heroic" characters.

My impression is that people do not like them. I've seen a couple shows with Ramsey and it looked like be could be an asshole at times, but still had some good traits and a following of people that like him. I haven't seen that Kitchen Nightmares' episode and wouldn't wouldn't watch a show about them.

He only launches off on people when they are doing something stupid.

I've been a Ramsay fan for a while, and this episode was the first time that I've seen him rendered almost completely speechless. These people are just horrible.

I watched that episode of Kitchen nightmares last night.

They have gone through over 100 employees in under a year. She is nasty and abusive and it's sick that she will make money by being so horrible to others.

If it is, they would have to be awfully stupid to draw this much attention to themselves.

The co-owner of Amy’s Baking Company — a Scottsdale restaurant that has been the center of controversy ever since appearing on the culinary reality TV show “Kitchen Nightmares” 11 days ago — is facing deportation.

Salomon “Samy” Bouzaglo, who owns Amy’s Baking Company along with his wife, Amy, is involved in a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement case to revoke his residency status, his lawyer said Tuesday. Scottsdale immigration lawyer David Asser said the case against his client started two years ago and was the subject of a removal hearing Monday.


Goodbye Samy

And if you read further down you'll find out about Amy's arrest and incarceration. They are not nice people.
