NYC restaurant owner claims James Corden is the ‘most abusive’ customer he’s ever had

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.”

Is he even an American, he should go back to the hole he crawled out of.

I had to look him up too. However, I have tried to watch his late night show in the past.

That’s why I like to play golf for money. Almost everyone is honest. Character is what you do when no one is looking.

“He’s a gifted comedian, but....”

Stop giving people breaks just because they’re in “entertainment.” ESPECIALLY if someone calls himself “a comedian” you can bet he is a particularly nasty character.

The first perquisite for a successful actor or a comedian is that s/he has essentially no personality or individual character - they’re like bags waiting to be filled up with this, that, or the other thing and after whatever job they’re working on is over the bag is emptied out, leaving a rather horrible person who thinks highly of him/herself and has enough money to make ordinary people’s lives particularly awful.

Screw all comedians. That Zelensky is supposedly a comedian tells you all you need to know about them. They’re a$$clowns who deserve neither recognition, riches, nor fame.

I watched a movie the other night, didn’t like it (my wife picked that one out) but it did have a line spoken by a Muslim that I liked, probably as much as the way he said it.

In the movie (”The Forgiven”) an Arab Berber’s son had been accidentally run over and killed by a British guy as he drove through the desert. A hidden witness is describing the accident to the Arab father, and says that after he hit the kid, he took his identifying documents from his pockets and buried them so the kid would be “anonymous”.

The father listened to this, and shook his head sadly and said mournfully and resignedly:

“Ahh. This is what men do. They think God is not watching.”

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.

Please don't offer an item of trivia unless you can provide a meaningful explanation.

Otherwise, it's just pointless.

Regards,

I have more respect for comedians - who, after all, have had to earn their bread in the capitalist system, i.e., by providing a service which was in demand - than for ex-KGB agents, or for former senators from Delaware who have been sucking off from the system since the day they left school.
