James Corden was labelled "the most abusive customer" ever by a restaurant owner, who claimed he had to '86' the funnyman.. The Gavin and Stacey writer was branded a "gifted comedian" but a "cretin of a man" in a scathing Instagram post by New York restauranteur Keith McNally, owner of the Balthazar chain.
McNally claimed a waiter was "left shaken" after James had a meltdown over a piece of egg white being mixed with the yolk in his wife's omelette, allegedly shouting: "You can't do your job! You can't do your job! Maybe I should go into the kitchen and cook the omelette myself!" James has reportedly apologised for his behaviour - but the troubling tale has left people intrigued by the secret codes used in restaurants.
