[during an interview with Ana Garcia] We were made to look like the most psychotic, lunatic people in the universe, and after watching Kitchen Nightmares, I see all the crazy, but I don't see any of the good. I know the people that came here were Yelpers because I have proof of it. They were on Yelp talking about it after they were filming and before they were coming here. This is not stuff that I've invented. I'm not delusional, I'm not crazy, yes we are passionate, yes we are wild! If I came after you, you would probably stand up too. If I came after anybody else, you would defend yourself, wouldn't you? If you have a family, wouldn't you defend it? Has it been stressful? Stressful, yes, it's been very stressful. We've had people walk through my doors, come casually over here like this, walk over, look at the display case, keep going like this, and then leave! And then my waitress comes up to me– Now we have waitresses because we had to change our whole procedure, because the whole universe thinks my husband was stealing their tips. So we tried something new: I took all the negative things that Gordon Ramsay said, and I tried to improve on it, that's why I had him come here! People come here to try to set us up because they think it's fun and 'cause they have a heart on for Gordon Ramsay. There was one person, he left on this plate; and I have it in my office, and I have the surveillance camera proof of it-- he puts a giant rubber cockroach on the plate and left it there, left without buying a cake and thought that was funny. We are dealing with that daily-- it's not gonna work here. We stood up to Gordon Ramsay, we're gonna stand up to the WORLD! Cause we don't go down without a fight! We have to show the world and every single business owner out there, that you have to stand up, you cannot let anyone shake you down; we have a voice, he has a voice, and it's up to us to stay strong and to show our true product and what we really have to offer here at Amy's Baking Company. And that's it!
