| - Tonight was my second visit to ABC. My family and I went there the first time because we were intrigued by the drama on Kitchen Nightmares. We are HUGE fans of Chef Gordon Ramsay and have seen every episode about 5 times.
Trip 1 (summer of 2013): After watching the show we psyched ourselves out about how crazy the owners were. We were nervous going into the store and made our plan to go in and look at the desserts, pick something out, and eat it at home. Sammy was in the front and boxed up our desserts and rang us up. He was nice. We could see Amy in the back and anxiously hoped she would make an appearance. Alas, we did not get to meet her. We took our desserts to a friend's house and shared them all with each other. The desserts were great.
Trip 2 (tonight): I went to a movie by myself. I kidded with my husband about going to see Amy. We had actually just seen the ABC episode yesterday and had a laugh about it again. After the movie I stopped in. I asked Sammy if he had anything with PB. He smiled and said yes. Amy was also out front. I made a comment that my family was a peanut butter family so that's what I wanted. She made a joke and then started to box it up while Sammy (I apologize if I am spelling his name wrong) rang me up. She asked if I was going right home, because if I wasn't she was going to give me some ice or something to keep it cold. As I was leaving she said she put some extra caramel in the box for me. I still got the jitters throughout the transaction because I kept waiting for something to happen (flashbacks to the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld), but they were both nice. I surprised my family with the dessert and we all dug in and agreed it was delicious.
As much as I would love to have a cool "Amy is crazy" story, I don't. Both trips the owners were kind, the desserts were good, and there was no drama. I don't go to the movies at that location but maybe once or twice a year, but I will probably go to ABC again for a dessert the next time I am over that way.
Also, I couldn't do 5 stars yet because I have never eaten a full meal, just the dessert. We talked tonight about trying lunch soon, so I will have to keep you updated.
