James Corden is no longer banned from the famed New York City restaurant Balthazar, after being put on blast this week by Keith McNally, the restauranteur who also owns Manhattan staples Pastis, Minetta and Tavern. According to McNally, the late night host “profusely apologized” for his actions.
On Monday, McNally publicly shamed Corden on Instagram, calling him “a tiny Cretin of a man” and “the most abusive customer to my Balthazar servers since the restaurant opened 25 years ago.” The restauranteur used the post to list two occasions which sparked the decision to “86” Corden, adding that the late-night host behaved similarly in his former restaurant, Cafe Luxembourg, several years prior to the incidents in the post.
