In case you missed it, Amy's Baking Company of Scottsdale, AZ became the most famous new restaurant of the week after Gordon Ramsay failed to help rehabilitate it on the television series Kitchen Nightmares and a subsequent Facebook flame war, later denied as hackery, placed the proprietors squarely against the ruthless army that is Reddit. The restaurant is now closed and planning an ill-advised "grand re-opening," for which patrons have been screened in advanced by a publicity team.

If you haven't seen the episode yet, you can view it after the jump. It'll give context to the many "Crazy Amy" memes that have popped up this week to poke fun at restaurant owner Amy Bouzaglo (who says in the episode that people call her "Crazy Amy B"), the best of which we've collected up here.

Table and Throne

The author loved the bathroom at Olivieto in Oakland except for the "excessive display of backup toilet paper."

In the hypersaturated world of Bay Area food blogs and restaurant reviews, it can be hard to find a new angle.

But some enterprising local has started a new type of restaurant review Tumblr, Table and Throne, which reviews restaurant bathrooms as well as the restaurants themselves, thus combining two seemingly incompatible concepts: gastronomy and commode-onomy. And there are of course photos -- of both.

It's Friday! This week was better than last week! What better way to celebrate/pass the time to beer o'clock than by watching a video of the most adorable tiger cub on earth eating her first solid food? (That is a trick question. There is no better way.)

You might remember last week when I wrote a story about Paul "Fotie" Photenhauser, the man who wrote Semenology, the book on semen mixology. To recap if you haven't read the story (though you really should), Photenhauser is the author of a previous volume on semen cooking but decided to do an all-cocktail book as its followup. Semenology has recipes like Watermelon Gin Jizz, Absolut Semen, Creamier Eggnog, and Mexican Cumslide, as well as helpful tips on how to store your semen, make it taste better, and get it to the ideal consistency for a delicious cocktail.

I of course knew I'd struck Internet gold when I first heard about the books, but have been impressed with how far the story has traveled. Most reactions on Twitter were either horror or wondering if this was a late April Fool's joke, but there were a fair amount of puns mixed in. Here are some of the better ones we found in the Twitterverse, though my favorite is still a rejected headline during a staff brainstorm session: "Cum to Flavor Country."

When Yelp reviews are a cry for help.

In the latest skewering of the popular review site, the Onion has published a pretty great article: "Heartbreaking Yelp Review Says It's Just Nice To Eat A Meal Around Other People." In it, the sad-sack protagonist just wants to be somewhere he can spend time with other people. In typical Onion style, which wavers the magical line between clunkingly obvious and deliciously subtle, the short article manages to make fun of the hyper-personal nature of most Yelpers' reviews, as well as the meaninglessness of so many online interactions.

Jon Campbell

Get a group of reporters together on a Friday night, get a few drinks in 'em, and before long the conversation will inevitably turn to lamenting print journalism's long, painful slide into irrelevance. Now there's a beer designed to accompany these late-night exercises in depression.

Jon Campbell was once a reporter for the Hartford Advocate; now he's a freelance writer brewing Unemployed Reporter Porter in his free time. Of which he willingly admits there is a lot, and some of which he spends crafts his sharp and incisive label copy, describing the beer as "dark and bitter as the future of American journalism," and containing "a high alcohol content designed to numb the pain of a slow, inexorable march toward obsolescence." Zing!

Pandora's Pops

Wonderful things sometimes appear in our inbox unbidden, and today brought one of the best press releases we've seen since the Jellinator. Pandora's Pops are aphrodisiac lollipops -- not aphrodisiac-flavored lollipops, but organic herbal candies specifically designed by company founder Jena Chambers to increase "sexual interest, erotic intelligence, and reproductive capacity" in both men and women. They're made right here in San Francisco.

We get a ton of pitches like this around Valentine's Day, and might have ignored it and moved on if it hadn't been for the end of the email, which encouraged us to watch a "brief 'Sexy Adventure' video" made by Chambers herself. How could we resist a call-to-action like that?

"____braised _____,over ________confit , ____belly,local _____,with ____gelee ,_______ ,and wild _____ dust.""#SanFranciscoRestaurantMadlibs

— WING WINGS (@wingwingssf) November 30, 2012

We were browsing Twitter this morning over a cup of coffee, and this funny tweet from Wing Wings caught our eye. What a great idea: Make-your-own San Francisco restaurant Mad Libs!

They're missing a key local word, however: pickled. (Tartare could be on there too -- in the past few weeks we've seen it applied to beef, lamb, and trout -- as well as the up-and-coming sprouted.) What other nouns, adjectives and verbs are you tired of seeing on local restaurant menus? Let's make the #SanFranciscoRestaurantMadlibs hashtag happen.

Screenshot from "It's Thanksgiving"

If you spent any time on the social medias this weekend, you probably saw the new Thanksgiving-themed music video from the creative geniuses who brought us Rebecca Black's cult hit "Friday," commonly known as the worst music video ever. The ARK Music Factory-produced video for Nicole Westbrook's new single "It's Thanksgiving" tells the tale of an apparently orphaned tween who loves the holiday so much that she makes a feast for her (similarly orphaned?) tweenage friends and, inexplicably, song scribe/producer/fully grown man Patrice Wilson (who also appeared in Black's video, but here arrives in a turkey costume and comes across as more of a creeper than ever).
