If you're reading this, chances are you've already seen the Kitchen Nightmares episode featuring Amy's Baking Company. After their Facebook meltdown, the owners closed up shop for a week and hired a PR firm to rebuild their reputation. The PR firm put out a notice on Facebook for reservations to their re opening, and I was one of the lucky ones to get in on opening night. Allegedly, they had over 1000 reservations, so they decided to span the re opening the entire week.
My reservation was for 8:30pm, but I live near by the restaurant, so I decided to drop by early at 7pm to see if there was any drama going on outside. There were about 20 people lingering around, and several trying to get in the place, but they were turning away anyone who didn't have a reservation. I went up to check my status and saw there were empty tables inside, and the girl said I could go in at that point or I could wait until 8:30pm. I decided to go in and was promptly seated at the back. Samy was working the tables, and I noticed about four wait staff as well.
