And the most tyrannical customer Balthazar’s team has had since the restaurant it opened 25 years ago.” With these words, McNally accused Corden and later explained a couple of unfortunate encounters that the humorist had with Balthazar’s staff at the restaurant itself, where he spoke disrespectfully to these waiters. “I don’t usually give a client an 86, but today I gave Corden an 86. He didn’t make me laugh,” the chef continued. An 86, in English gastronomic slang, is a way of saying that a dish is not available or that a customer is banned from entering a place. James Corden apologizes personally Hours after publication, McNally contacted his followers again to show the presenter’s remorse. “Corden just called me and has apologized profusely. Having screwed up more than most people, I believe in second chances,” McNally said. He even joked, “If James Corden lets me host his Late Late Show for 9 months I’ll immediately lift his ban from Balthazar. “Anyone magnanimous enough to apologize to a bum like me (and my staff) doesn’t deserve to be kicked out of anywhere.” Despite accepting his apology, McNally has not deleted the post in which he lavishly narrates of detail the incidents that caused the temporary veto of Corden and that accumulates thousands of “likes” and comments.
