James Corden says wife's food allergy sparked "ungracious" behavior at New York restaurant: "It was wrong"

A week after being labeled "the most abusive customer" to Balthazar's staff in the New York restaurant's 25-year-old history, James Corden publicly addressed the controversy on Monday night during CBS' "The Late Late Show," saying his behavior was "wrong." 

Last week, Corden was briefly banned from popular French restaurant Balthazar after the owner posted on Instagram of two incidents in which Corden was rude to his staff. The most recent incident happened earlier this month when Corden and his wife Julia Carey went to the restaurant with a couple of their friends for breakfast.  

The problem apparently occurred when Carey received the wrong order – she had asked for an egg yolk omelette and got one with "a little bit of egg white" mixed in, according to restaurant owner Keith McNally. When they brought out the amended order, the plate had a side of home fries instead of salad. At that point, McNally said, "Corden began yelling like crazy to the server. 'You can't do your job! Maybe I should go into the kitchen and cook the omelette myself!'"
