British comedian James Corden , known for hosting a late-night talk show and inviting many celebrities to sing karaoke in the car.
However, he seemed friendly in front of the curtain, but in private he had an unknown Aoke side, and was even accused of bullying the restaurant staff on the spot.
Recently, Keith McNally, the owner of Balthazar, a well-known restaurant in New York, directly scolded on social media, saying that the restaurant had never met an Oker like James Corden in the 25 years since its opening, and his own restaurant will no longer welcome him in the future.
McNally wrote on Instagram: "I don't often have 86 customers, but today I have 86 Corden ." (86 is a restaurant term, which means refusing to provide services to specific customers)
What mistake did James Corden make? It is said to be a common Aoke dining behavior.
According to McNally, James Corden is a "talented comedian, but also an idiot" and calls him "the rude customer to waiters in the 25 years since the opening of the restaurant Balthazar."
McNally quoted two examples from the restaurant report to prove that Corden is Oke:
The first example, Corden came to this restaurant for dinner in June this year. It is said that after eating an appetizer, he found a hair on it, so he showed his hair to Manager G, who immediately apologized.
Corden was very rude to Manager G and said to him, "Give us another round of wine right away. It's also the free wine we drink. If this happens, I can leave a very bad comment on Yelp or similar websites." McNally recounted the restaurant record.
The second example is that Corden and his wife came to the restaurant for brunch one day in October and ordered an egg yolk roll. The restaurant record reads:
On October 9, James Corden and his wife had brunch in Balthazar. He asked for an outdoor table. Brunch foreman D'Allie Wolters brought the guests to table 301.
Corden's wife ordered an egg yolk omelet with Gruyer cheese and salad. A few minutes after they got the food, Corden called waiter M.K. over and told her that there was a little egg white in the egg yolk.
M.K. informed the restaurant manager G. and informed the kitchen to remake the dish, but unfortunately the attached meal was accompanied by fries instead of the salad in the original meal.
At this moment, Corden began to shout to the waiter frantically: "You can't even do your own job well! Maybe I should go to the kitchen to omelette myself!" M.K. felt very sorry and called Manager G to the table.
He returned the plate and everything was fine afterwards. He gave them champagne glasses to ease the atmosphere. Manager G said Corden was friendly to him but was very rude to the waiter. M.K. was shocked, but she was professional and continued to complete her duty.
What is puzzling is why Corden had a bad dining experience in Balthazar but returned to the restaurant to dine again and again?
Keith McNally then said on Instagram that Corden would no longer welcome him due to improper dining behavior.
But soon after, early on October 18, US time, the restaurant owner announced on Instagram that Corden had called and expressed his desire to settle, and he also expressed his willingness to accept Corden's apology.
"I have made a lot of mistakes compared to others, so I believe everyone deserves a second chance. So if James Corden lets me host his Late Show for nine months later, I will immediately lift his ban on dining. No, of course it's a joke."
"But... anyone who apologizes to someone like me (and my staff) should not be rejected anywhere." McNally added, "Especially at Balthazar. So Corden, I've forgiven you."
