After a horrendous showing on Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, Amy and Samy Bouzaglo will be re-launching their restaurant on Tuesday and Breaking Celebrity News has exclusively learned tickets to the event that were given away by a publicity company are now selling online for a profit!
"Customers will be able to decide who is correct: a famous celebrity chef or the marketplace that has supported the small, locally-owned business for six years," the press release for Amy's Baking Company stated last week.
"Diners will also have the opportunity to meet and judge for themselves the character of owners Amy and Samy Bouzaglo, who have devoted their lives to and earn their living from their small restaurant."
But according to commenters on Yelp, free tickets were easily obtained by sending an email to the couple's publicity company — in turn, some people granted tickets live out of town and had no intentions of attending in the first place, and have been trying to sell their tickets on sites like eBay for nearly $200.
"This re-launch is garnering a lot of positive attention for Amy's Baking Company. The fact that tickets are up for sale online means it's an event that people really want to attend!" a source close to the situation told Breaking Celebrity News.
"Amy and Samy have been working hard on the re-launch and even though they were highly criticized on the show, they had 60 people apply for a job with them over the weekend and ended up hiring nine new employees."
