James Corden apologises over 'unnecessary comment' to New York restaurant staff
"Last week, there were stories about me being banned from a restaurant. At the time I considered tweeting about it or Instagramming about it. But, whenever these sorts of moments come my way, I like to adopt a sort of British attitude of 'keep calm and carry on'. 'Never complain, never explain' is very much my motto," he said.
"But as my dad pointed out to me on Saturday, he said: 'Well son, you did complain so you might need to explain'. When you make a mistake, you've got to take responsibility so I thought I would share with you what happened." Corden explained that when dining at the Balthazar in New York, his wife was given food to which she was allergic to, despite a conversation about the allergy. He said they sent it back and"all was good".
After the order was re-made, he said that when it came back to the table incorrect"for the third time", he added that"in the heat of the moment", he made a"sarcastic, rude comment". He said he"deeply regretted" the remark, adding that he understood the difficulties of being a server, referencing his own past experience of working shifts at restaurants.
