With the grand re-opening already sold out and probably people waiting to fill the restaurant without the whole "screening process", imagine if everyone just ordered water.

I don't believe it's sold out, of course. And it if were, would Amy be cooking one table at a time, as is her wont?
You don't think the re-opening has become enough of a "I was there!" event to sell out?
Exactly. And you know everyone will be sending their food back just to see what happens.
You know the only people who passed the screening for opening night will be family and friends.
It will be like being at the invited dress for the Broadway show Tom Sawyer.
The radio host suggested that maybe they open as a sort of "Dick's Last Resort" where they treat the customers like crap on purpose, the PR guy said the difference is that those abusive places have great food and Amy's doesn't. Again, one day before taking them on as clients.

They should change the name of the place to One Table @ A Time. Like the Hour Glass Tavern, but instead of hour glasses over the tables, they could give chalk to the customers and they could put an X on the wall for every hour that passes between placing their orders and finally getting them.
It looks like they took down all the pictures they stole from other webites on their facebook. They don't seem to be posting there either. They have, however, resurfaced over here:

I forgot all about this and how it united us all for a few days.
Clever, they are not running that page. It's some Amurika loving weirdo.
A Scottsdale public-relations firm headed by Jason Rose explained in a news release that a law firm representing the producers of “Kitchen Nightmares” warned the Bouzaglos against making disparaging remarks about the show or its star, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. Rose's firm announced on Monday that it no longer would be representing the Bouzaglos.
I guess Jason Rose was right when he said they were beyond help.
Jason Rose and his firm are just haters! It's sabotage!

On Tuesday, Amy’s opened to a thin crowd and began serving those holding reservations at 5 p.m...
I had a feeling they were overstating the huge numbers of reservations.
On Tuesday, Samy and Amy talked about their past records and indicated Samy had served time in prison before immigrating to the United States 13 years ago. Reached by phone as they drove to their restaurant Tuesday morning, Amy and Samy each tried to talk over the other -- interrupting, yelling and even cursing one another as the conversation continued.
The more things change...
They need a real star like Uncle Poodle to dine there and give the place the thumbs up.
Lord, these two are the gift that just keeps on giving!

One of their neighboring establishments made it onto Buzzfeed with this one.

I don't know why, but the jazz hands from the security guards in that picture made me laugh so hard.

Thanks for the link, Jungle. I was starting to feel like a Harry Potter tween awaiting an over-due sequel outside of Borders. Remember when there was Borders? And new Harry Potter books?
Anyhoo, of COURSE she doesn't make he desserts.
