    I agree with all who suspect this is a money laundering operation... a very poorly executed one.

    The husband (and owner) has EXCLUSIVE access to the POS system. This is the biggest red flag for fraud that you can get.

    Also, he clearly doesn't give a crap how well the restaurant does, telling customers to F off nightly. He knows that no matter how many customers come in, it's all just a means to an end for him.

    The owner displays criminal mentality. The wife displays crazy. Both are made for each other.

    I would diagnose the wife as having persecutorial delusions, a.k.a., schizophrenia.

    Money laundering just makes no sense. Isn't the entire point of money laundering trying to keep a low profile and make sure that no one bothers to examine your books too carefully? This whole mess, and dealing with Ramsey, is the exact opposite.

    Then again, the owners are clearly idiots.

    More so for letting an average small business be scrutinized inside out by the worst critic possible than for their business or management acumen. The stuff Ramsay is the most histrionic about, quality of food, is actually the least discernible and most subjectively evaluated by regular customers.

    Yes, while "taste" is subjective, his complaints seemed valid... The pizza was clearly raw in the middle, the bun was dripping grease and you could tell the salmon sandwich was dry.

    My real question is what is "Samy" the original gangster going to do when he finds out that Gordon Ramsey has a lengthy history of porking restaurant owner's wives, and that Gordon porked Samy's wife like a used meat puppet.

    Everyone who feels sorry that the waitress got fired is nuts. I feel sorry that she and whoever works/worked there had to put up with that. I was happy that she was set free!

    I think it's Arabic for something like "let's go" or something like that. I'm guessing the equivalent to vamanos or something.

    laugh all you want, but that restaurant has 84,000 likes, and probably a millions' dollar worth of publicity. Might be terrible terrible publicity, but is there even such a thing? meh.

    It depends on whether you can learn to embrace it or not. I'm not sure she knows it's the bad publicity that is working for her. She still thinks she's that good.

    They could get a soup nazi thing going on and start packing the place, but of course the quality of the food would have to improve dramatically along with speed it was served.

    those likes aren't really valid when they're non targeted and not even in the area of the restaurants. Mostly 4chans and reddits liking it so they can comment on the page

    if you read thru some of the comments, people are liking it so any further crazy posts come up on their walls without them having to go look for them.

    You dont have to like a page to comment on it

    You mean to tell me all those desserts in that display were not even baked by her and she stood there accepting compliments from Chef Ramsey knowing that? I must have missed the part where he found out she didn't even make them. That is hilarious. She will accept credit and feel good about herself over something she didn't even do? Well, someone set up the display and I doubt it was even her versus one of those tip-starved waitresses.

    I wish I could parade around feeling good about the work of other people. I'm not sure where that sense of entitlement comes from except from a delusional mind.

    I'm not sure Ramsey found out about it.
    She got called out online abut it and came back with a response that basically said "so what, America is about resseling* ( sic)"

    * she meant re-selling
