James Corden has been banned from a top New York City restaurant by famed
restaurateur Keith McNally, who labeled the TV talk show host the "most
abusive customer ever" and more.
McNally took to social media blasting the host of the "Late Late Show" as a
"tiny cretin of a man" who he said has been "86'ed" as customer of his
restaurant, the Daily Mail reported in a piece published Monday. The term
"86'ed" has a number of possible origin stories, including a throwback to an
old Greenwich Village speakeasy -- located at 86 Bedford Street -- that had
no address on the door. Customers would "86 themselves" in the event of
trouble.
"James Corden is a Hugely gifted comedian, but a tiny Cretin of a man," the
owner of iconic New York Balthazar restaurant captioned his post on
Instagram. "And the most abusive customer to my Balthazar servers since the
restaurant opened 25 years ago."
James Corden is reportedly a terror and one of the least liked
persons in Hollywood. Now, famed restauranteur Keith McNally has
banned Corden from all of his many restaurants for ongoing abusive
behavior to his staffs. McNally calls Corden a "tiny cretin of a

"I don't often 86 a customer, but today I 86'd Corden," he added. "It did not
make me laugh. Here are two examples of the funny man's treatment of my
staff. He behaviored similarly in my former restaurant, Cafe Luxembourg, a
few years back."
McNally then provided two examples of what he claimed occurred at his
restaurant by the late host.
The first post mentioned that in June, Corden was at Balthazar and "after
eating his main course, Corden showed the hair to Balthazar manager G. who
was very apologetic. Corden was extremely nasty to G, and said: 'Get us
another round of drinks this second. And also take care of all of our drinks
so far. This way I write any nasty reviews in yelp or anything like that.'"
The second report stated that earlier this month, the talk show host was at
the same restaurant with Corden's wife who "ordered an egg yolk omelette with
gruyere cheese and salad. A few minutes after they received the food, James
called their server, M. K. and told her there was a little bit of egg white
mixed with the egg yolk."
"M. K. informed the floor manager, G," McNally wrote. "The kitchen remade
the dish but unfortunately sent it with home fries instead of salad. That's
when James Corden began yelling like crazy to the server: 'You can't do your
job! You can't do your job! Maybe I should go into the kitchen and cook the
omelette myself!'"
"M.K. was very apologetic and brought G. over to the table," he added. "He
returned the dish, and after that, everything was fine. He gave them promo
Champagne glasses to smooth things out. G. said that Corden was pleasant to
him but nasty to the server.' M.K. was very shaken, but professional that she
is, continued to finish her shift."
At the time of this publication, Corden has yet to comment.
