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.

And so I tried a trick I learned about from the Balthazar staff’s handling of the situation. The first thing I noticed is that even the five yolks and splash of milk I’d ended up using weren’t enough to coat the entire bottom of the eight-inch pan I was using without it getting so thin as to become a mere crepe. I imagined I was a chef, preparing the dish for a demanding customer who might be ready to humiliate me with a returned plate. I sprinkled it with cheddar and opted, as Becky had counseled, for a single-fold presentation. [Balthazar’s brunch menu](https://balthazarny.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Brunch-08-15-22.pdf) to identify the item in question: It was probably the “omelette with fines herbs and Gruyere or cheddar cheese” under the “Les oeufs et classiques” section. My approximation of Carey’s omelet proved to have a good, eggy profile. “It’s also probably going to be suuuper tender because of all the fat, so this may be more of a fold-in-half than roll situation.” But a bit player in the controversy was the thing that most fascinated us here at Voraciously: In one anecdote from McNally, Corden’s alleged abusive treatment of the Balthazar team came after his wife, Julia Carey, ordered an all-yolk omelet whose imperfect preparation (apparently there was a small amount of egg white in the dish) caused Corden to send it back to the kitchen. Seeking answers to at least some of these mysteries, I decided to try to make one. But an all-yolk omelet is far less common — none of my colleagues had even heard of such a thing. The restaurant remade it but sent it back out with home fries instead of the salad she had ordered, allegedly prompting Corden to erupt.

"You definitely want to either write a letter to management take it up with management in person, or you can always leave a negative review online. The manager may also do something for you, but it's not guaranteed. And you can always show your appreciation by increasing a tip or show your dissatisfaction by leaving a lesser tip. What to expect: When dealing with this herself, Whitmore has had a dessert comped for the mistake. But you should never expect anything, she says. Sometimes, Whitmore says, the manager will get involved if the server can't help. But what's the best way to rectify the situation? Every staff and management system has different procedures but their common goal is to keep diners happy. How to respond: Start by addressing the issue with your server, who is your first point of contact.

The TV host's cheeky appeal has been tarnished in the US after a restaurant run-in. But who to feel sorry for, says Guardian columnist Emma Brockes.

And here we reach the part of the story where I feel if not exactly sorry for Corden, then sorry for all of us for being privy to a sordid exchange that should never have been made public in the first place.
