The owner of New York City restaurant Balthazar claimed James Corden is the “most abusive” customer he’s had since the hotspot opened its doors 25 years ago.
“James Corden is a Hugely gifted comedian, but a tiny Cretin of a man. And the most abusive customer to my Balthazar servers since the restaurant opened 25 years ago,” Keith McNally, 71, claimed in a scathing Instagram post Monday.
McNally — who is known as “The Restaurateur Who Invented Downtown” — said he had to “86” (kick out or ban) the actor from his establishments before sharing “two examples of the funny man’s treatment” of his staff at the iconic French brasserie and another one of his restaurants, Cafe Luxembourg.
The restaurateur first claimed Corden demanded freebies and threatened the NYC hotspot with a bad review after finding a hair in his food in June.
“After eating his main course, Corden showed the hair to Balthazar manager G. who was very apologetic,” he wrote alongside a snap of the comedian. “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.'”
In another incident that happened Oct.9, McNally claimed the comedian lashed out at his staff after his wife’s eggs were not prepared to her liking during brunch.
“Mr. Corden’s wife 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. The kitchen remade the dish but unfortunately sent it with home fries instead of salad.”

With any luck, neither will a lot of people now...............
"Argh. That guy."
Proper service would have alleviated the “incidents”.
Said he gives free champagne to celebrities but never al Pacino. Seems weird to put it that way almost as if he was calling him out ..but maybe Al always wants to pay..or maybe he just doesn’t drink it.
British comedian/actor, host of “The Late, Late Show” since 2015, does the recurring skit of driving celebrities around and singing.
Was in the recent “Cats” movie bomb!
That would be my guess. I hate champagne....................
I’ve known lots of people who worked in restaurants. You can send a dish back to the kitchen if you want to, but you’d be well advised not to eat it when it comes back to your table.
Who in the world is James Corden?
His carpool karaoke can be interesting if you have a musician you like.
A fat a-hole.................
He does look mentally unstable.
Well, that doesn’t narrow the field of comedians much.
Thanks, but none of that rings a bell. :0)
”The world got to see James Corden as a fat pussy....he was also in the movie “Cats.”
Leftists believe that abuse and theft is perfectly legitimate.
The Icon of the Left, Saul Alinsky (Rules for Radicals) was a reprehensible scumbag. He bragged in a Playboy Magazine interview about figuring out a scam to steal food from school cafeterias when he lived in Chicago going to college. This is how Dinesh D’Souza described it in a WND article:
*******************************************************************
As a penniless student at the University of Chicago, Saul Alinsky hit upon a clever way to eat meals without having to pay for them. Alinsky – viewed by many progressives as the father of the social justice movement – described this technique in an interview given to Playboy magazine just before his death in 1972.
In those days customers in the university cafeteria system didn’t pay the waitress; rather, they went up to the cashier and paid. Alinsky first went to the cashier and ordered a cup of coffee; at that time it cost a nickel. The cashier would write him a ticket listing that price. Then he would go to another cafeteria and order a full meal. The waitress would give him the check for the meal. Alinsky would then pocket the bill for his meal and submit his nickel ticket to the cashier. By switching checks, he was eating full meals and paying just for his cup of coffee.
This is the kind of scam one can see a clever, impoverished slum kid like Alinsky pulling off. What made Alinsky original is that he shared this knowledge with his fellow students and turned it into an organized scam. Alinsky put up signs on the university bulletin board and invited students to attend a presentation, complete with maps of the cafeteria system. Pretty soon he had a large horde of students signed up for his scam. “We got the system down to a science, and for six months all of us were eating free.”
Asked by Playboy if he had any qualms about ripping of the university, Alinsky said, “Are you kidding? The right to eat takes precedence over the right to make a profit.”
Saul Alinsky is viewed by progressives as a champion of social justice. He fought for unions, he fought for racial minorities, and he inspired the social justice crusades of Obama and Hillary. In fact he is the author of the “social justice scam” that is at the heart of the Obama presidency and the Hillary presidential campaign.
Here we see in retrospect the founding moment of today’s progressive movement. The young thief displays all the organizational zeal that would later characterize a whole generation of progressives. We also see in him a familiar sense of entitlement. Alinsky has a “right” to steal because stealing is, from his perverse point of view, a form of social justice. Alinsky and his freeloading buddies were just getting their “fair share.”

I stole stuff when I was a dumb kid. As I grew older, I came to regret it a great deal. Alinsky was a grown man, and bragged about this. That describes Leftists perfectly. It says all you need to know about them. Selfish. No morals. Self-justifying thieves. All of them.
Well, it eliminates all the skinny ones.................
Michelle Obama did an episode. She is not a horrendous singer but I laughed out loud at her singing beyonce
o.O
Yeah, that seems weird... even for an Englishman.
And yet, another ‘tripe’ ‘news’ ‘article rewards Nicki Cox and Mara Siegler (the writers), free advertising for James Corden (who you never heard of), and Belshazar Restaurant. The corrupt media has not written a newsworthy article, but have manipulated you (and us) into wasting a few minutes of our valuable time. Wasn’t that the point?
I have a close family member who I refuse to go to restaurants with. She is overly demanding with the waitstaff, almost always finds a problem with her meal and never fails to embarrass everybody else at the table. I end up having to leave a larger tip to make up for her behavior.
