James Corden

So if James Corden lets me host his Late Late Show for nine months, I'll immediately rescind his ban from Balthazar. But....anyone magnanimous enough to apologise to a deadbeat layabout like me (and my staff) doesn't deserve to be banned from anywhere. That's when James Corden began yelling like crazy to the server: 'You can't do your job! You can't do your job! Mr McNally conceded finding a hair in food is "diabolical" but said the manager in the restaurant at the time was "very apologetic". Restaurant manager Keith McNally said the British TV host is a "hugely gifted comedian" but a "tiny cretin of a man" after claiming he was rude to staff and left a waitress "shaken".

For a second there, it almost looked as if the country were turning on its most confounding late-night host.

“That’s when James Corden began yelling like crazy to the server: ‘You can’t do your job! He writes, “Anyone magnanimous enough to apologize to a deadbeat layabout like me (and my staff) doesn’t deserve to be banned from anywhere. [which presumably is why he’s so into posting about Woody Allen, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Jeffrey Epstein](https://www.insider.com/restaurateur-keith-mcnally-ghislaine-maxwell-instagram-controversy-2021-5). During one visit, Corden’s wife “ordered an egg yolk omelet with gruyere cheese and salad.” Shortly after the food arrived, Corden called the server to tell her that “there was a little bit of egg white mixed with the egg yolk.” When the kitchen remade the dish, they accidentally sent it with home fries instead of salad. Thankfully, he apologized to Balthazar owner Keith McNally for allegedly being “a hugely gifted comedian, but a tiny cretin of a man” and is now welcome back with open arms. This way, I [won’t] write any nasty reviews on Yelp or anything like that.” It’s hard to imagine James Corden taking a break from singing in cars with celebrities to write a Yelp review, but the threat is enough.

On Tuesday he rescinded the ban after claiming to have received a call from the star. I strongly believe in second chances. Balthazar manager Keith McNally.

Corden announced in April that he was stepping down as the host of The Late Late Show in the US. Keith McNally briefly barred Corden from Balthazar in Manhattan on Monday after alleging that he had been “extremely nasty” to his staff on two separate occasions. The manager of a New York restaurant who banned James Corden from his establishment has said “all is forgiven” after reportedly receiving an apology from the actor and comedian.

James Corden was banned, then unbanned, from Keith McNally's Balthazar after throwing a tantrum and returning an all-egg-yolk omelet to the kitchen.

If I were to make one again, I’d try beating in some milk instead of the cream, though I’m not sure that would make a huge difference. Our condolences to the Balthazar line cooks, who probably had to make 50 of these this morning and will be forced to separate eggs by the gross this winter, serving every influencer who visits town. Mine’s a little rough, but the result is pretty anyway, because the yolks make it bright yellow. So one spoonful of albumen went into the pan afterward, on its own, and I carefully placed it atop the omelet, creating a Corden-infuriating all-protein garnish. But wait: I had to Cordenize this, and that meant incorporating the detail that set Mr. (The few internet recipes out there suggest that it is more crepe than omelet.) I didn’t have any Gruyère in the house, but I do have a chive plant growing on the windowsill, so this was going to be a variation on a classic: omelette aux fines herbes à la Corden pique. The internet ate this up, taking it as confirmation that (a) James Corden is an ass, [as previously rumored](https://www.reddit.com/r/awfuleverything/comments/rm8dwy/james_cordon_on_an_airplane/), and (b) [Keith McNally’s Instagram captions](https://www.instagram.com/keithmcnallynyc/) are the best free entertainment in town. It was not frothy and liquid, as beaten whole eggs are; it was a thick goo. A couple of us wondered whether it had been a mistake in McNally’s information from his manager, that someone had intended to write “white” and instead wrote “yolk.” That made some sense: Far be it from me to question anyone’s breakfast choices, but Maybe (and the Cordenian tantrum here would bear this out) she is viscerally repulsed by the slightest hint of egg white. The classic rolled French omelet requires a hot pan, butter, and a bit of technique that I have not exactly mastered but can carry off well enough.
