James Corden

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.
