I've been following the drama ever since the episode aired and must say it's been a wild ride. I don't think they understand the basics of human decency, and they paid for it with their reputation.
I haven't actually watched the episode but have more than heard about the place's notoriety. Maybe if this was 50 years ago they could have gotten away with it for longer, but in a day and age loaded to the gills with social media that can pass along bad word of mouth in minutes, it's a death sentence.
Also, humans are inherently negative, particularly in regards to eateries: if someone likes your restaurant, they'll tell 2 or 3 real friends about it. If someone hates your restaurant, they'll tell all 700 of their Facbook/Twitter/Google+ followers not to go there AND post a bad review of the place, which is extremely hard to counterbalance.
I remember watching the episode and thinking to myself that no matter how good that place got or how good her baking was, I would never step foot in that place. It's a shame really.
They're just so mean, I don't get it. Why would you just be mean to people you don't know, and are in fact trying to sell food to?

Oh yes, I remember when the episode first aired, and I just couldn't believe this pair was for real.

And why would you be so mean and air it on TV?
