Right? How could you even tell in a cooked omelet if there was some egg white. I can't imagine wanting this or getting upset if it wasn't correct. The only thing I can come up with is she is allergic to egg whites but it would be A. super risky to order this in a restaurant and B. that would have been reported in the press about it.


It depends on how the egg is cooked. She may be on a special diet.

Then she should eat at home.


Seriously? You can't expect a restaurant to cook EGGS properly? Any first grader can make eggs.

Someone DID mention it, on page 3: "There was a reddit AMA thread a few years ago where rather than actually asking him questions, people just posted stories of their own experiences or stories they had heard of James treating people badly (on his set and in public) and the only question was why are you an a--hole?"

He’s now come out stating she’s allergic. I wish he had just apologized without any caveats. Why is it so hard to say “I didn’t act as I should have and I apologize to X for my behavior”. Full stop.

Well that settles it then. 25 years of top success in one of the toughest restaurant cities in the world means nothing compared to your one "non-memorable" steak frites.

It's a fine bistro and much better than more expensive places in town, and honestly the wine markups are much less than much of the competition. Not sure why it needs to be "memorable".


It looks like overpriced basic food. I'm not getting why it is so special but they should not publicly shame a guest.


+ 1 "Don't you **dare** complain about your order or we will take to social media and try to destroy you." Sociopaths.

James Corden is a notorious a**hole. It’s not fake, not sure what’s so hard to understand here.

And James doesn’t really drive the car, it’s pulled along so he doesn’t have to focus completely on driving. Wouldn’t surprise me if he was a total jacka$$.


In the majority of Carpool Karaoke's he drives. It's only in half a dozen of them when it was unsafe, that he didn't. I didn't know about the air conditioning for BTS - I wonder why they did that.

I assume the sound of the A/C interferes with the sound recording.

Maybe they have a kink where she orders some bizarre, impossible-to-implement dish, and then he berates the waitstaff like an overtired, obese toddler.
