During a family trip to London in 1000-lb Sisters, Amy felt isolated and disconnected, leading to a breakdown. She walked away from the restaurant and Chris followed her and said:
“You need to calm down. There’s no point in showing your rumpus now.”
She replied:
"No y’all and I only said one thing and you all f**k**g came on me."
Chris consoled her and asked her to join the family back in the restaurant. She was hesitant at first, and said she would like to go back to the hotel, but eventually she agreed and went with him to the restaurant.
In the same episode, Amy tearfully expressed to her sister Tammy Slaton that she wanted her family to stop treating her the same way they always had.
Amy’s new recipe to impress her family in 1000-lb Sisters
In 1000-lb Sisters Season 6, Episode 3, Amy Slaton tried her hand at impressing her family with a new recipe. Determined to showcase her cooking skills, Amy decided to make her own version of Alfredo sauce with a twist that was chocolate chips.
While shopping for ingredients, she explained her idea to a store clerk, who seemed surprised by her choices, which included onion powder, ranch powder, garlic powder, vanilla, and creole seasoning. When asked about the dish, Amy described it simply:
“It’s like regular Alfredo, just add chocolate chips.”
Amy first shared the dish with her sister Tammy Slaton, who was hesitant about the recipe. Tammy tried it while it was still being cooked and commented on its tangy flavor, showing some doubt about the combination. However, Amy didn’t let this discourage her and made adjustments to improve the dish.
Later, she brought the finished product to their sister Amanda Halterman, who gave it a much warmer reception.
Amanda declared, “This dish is fire,” which made Amy happy.
