Amy from Amy’s Baking Company Sues Be Here Now for Trade Dress Infringement

  

    MUNCIE, Ind. - Amy Bouzaglo, infamous owner of the now-defunct Amy’s Baking Company—the only restaurant Gordon Ramsay ever walked out on during Kitchen Nightmares—is reportedly suing Be Here Now for trade dress infringement.

    Bouzaglo alleges that Be Here Now has shamelessly copied her signature brand of digital hostility, pointing to their aggressive replies to negative reviews—mainly screenshots from Barstool Ball State's post of their reviews—and their meme-laced response to local band Leisure Hour’s public exit. 

    The band claimed the venue was "not a safe space for us or our fans" due to its support of a known predator—only for Be Here Now to double down by launching what it calls its "Leisure Hour Daily Specials."

    Bouzaglo argues this unhinged PR spiral mirrors the chaos that made Amy’s Baking Company infamous, back when her own responses to criticism were so volatile that not even Gordon Ramsay could salvage the business.

    In an alleged email, Bouzaglo told BSn that Be Here Now is "nothing but thieves! THIEVES! They stole my style, my voice, my divine rage—AND THEY’RE PROFITING OFF IT!"

    In the alleged lawsuit, self-filed by Bouzaglo without an attorney, Bouzaglo said that Amy's Baking Company "went viral because I told the TRUTH and people couldn’t handle it. They’re going viral because they’re frauds playing dress-up in my madness. I AM THE ORIGINAL NIGHTMARE!"

    Be Here Now has yet to respond to the alleged lawsuit.

    While the owner Whitney, via the venue's Facebook page, posted a statement on March 16th regarding Leisure Hour's public exit, claiming that "both parties share guilt in prolonging the issue," Whitney appears biased to the patron Leisure Hour called out as an alleged predator. Whitney called himself "a fan of this person," and referred to him as "a stand-up dude," "an asset," "humble, respectful, and has been dating one of our staff for 6 months now and is lifelong friends with our longtime Muncie Famous doorman Jay."

The Atrium to Follow MyPlate Standards, Limiting Vivimos and Adding Salad Bar

  MUNCIE, INDIANA - Inspired by the old MyPlate initiative pushed in K-12 schools, Ball State Dining has taken inspiration, making groundbreaking changes to The Atrium. These changes include less availability at Vivimos, an additional salad bar, and the most important meal of the day no longer being served. A post circulating Instagram and YikYak from a student food reviewer shows that that Vivimos is now part of the "Rotating Cuisine" menu, only offering burritos, burrito bowls and nachos. A salad bar was also introduced. Breakfast, however, is no longer an option. A spokesperson for University Dining told BSnUws that they were "inspired by Becoming by Michelle Obama" to "implement the classic MyPlate standards from back in our day". "The MyPlate program states we only have to give our scholars 2 cups of fruit, 2 and a half cups of vegetables, 6 ounces of whole grain, 5 and a half ounces of protein, and 3 cups of milk for what we offer to be consid...
