If you were to place an order this week at a restaurant
that exclusively served viral foods, here is what you would be eating: a salad
tossed in a special dressing made by
Olivia Wilde; an omelet made with only egg
yolks; and a Negroni Sbagliato to wash it all down.

Let us begin with the salad.
If you have finally stopped thinking about Olivia
Wilde and the drama surrounding her film Don’t Worry Darling, it is time to
reset the days-without-incident clock in your mind. Wilde was recently the
subject of a Daily Mail story about her split from actor Jason Sudeikis and a
rumored on-set affair with
Harry Styles, who stars in the film. In the article,
a former nanny for the couple’s two children lobbed a series of accusations,
including a small detail about a salad dressing.
The nanny claimed Sudeikis lay down in front of a
car to stop Wilde from leaving to bring Styles a salad made with Wilde’s
“special dressing”.
Wilde and Sudeikis issued a statement that said, in
part: “As parents, it is incredibly upsetting to learn that a former nanny of
our two young children would choose to make such false and scurrilous
accusations about us publicly.”
What is special dressing? We may never know for
sure, but on Tuesday evening Wilde posted a photo of a page of Nora Ephron’s
Heartburn, the autobiographical novel based on Ephron’s marriage to Carl
Bernstein and their subsequent divorce. On this particular page is a recipe for
a vinaigrette consisting of two tablespoons Grey Poupon mustard, two
tablespoons of red wine vinegar — specifically “good red wine vinegar” — and six
tablespoons of olive oil.
Was this an elaborate troll on the part of Wilde?
The dressing sounds good either way, and you could toss it with the lettuce
that outlasted Prime Minister
Liz Truss of Britain. (Before Truss’ resignation
on Thursday, a British tabloid began livestreaming a wilting head of lettuce to
see which would last longer — the vegetable or Truss’s tenure as prime
minister.)
As for the entree, the all-yolk omelet is,
apparently, a thing James Corden’s wife, television producer Julia Carey, once
ordered at Balthazar, one of Keith McNally’s restaurants in New York. “James
Corden is a hugely gifted comedian, but a tiny cretin of a man. And the most
abusive customer to my Balthazar servers since the restaurant opened 25 years
ago,” McNally wrote in an Instagram post last week. He included a grainy photo
of Corden’s head in the post, along with the announcement that Corden was now
banned from Balthazar.
In the caption, McNally appeared to republish
manager’s reports from two separate occasions at the restaurant involving the
television host. In one, Corden allegedly demanded the restaurant serve his
table a free round of drinks and comp their drink bill after he reported
finding a hair in his meal, which, McNally noted, Corden had already finished.
In the second, Corden allegedly returned a dish to
the kitchen claiming there were egg whites in his wife’s egg yolk omelet.
“That’s when James Corden began yelling like crazy to the server: ‘You can’t do
your job! You can’t do your job! Maybe I should go into the kitchen and cook
the omelette myself!’” McNally wrote.
In a subsequent post, with an even grainier photo of
Corden, McNally rescinded the ban, writing that Corden, best known for singing
while driving a car, had called to apologize.
The question that remains, however, is what does an
egg yolk omelet taste like? “As for taste and texture, it wasn’t bad, but it
was… heavy,” Christopher Bonanos wrote in a piece for Vulture about his attempt
to make one at home. “Really intensely eggy.”
Which brings us to the final piece of our order, the
drink. A Negroni Sbagliato is a Negroni in which the traditional gin is
replaced with sparkling wine. For our order, that wine must be prosecco and you
must order the drink by saying the following words, “a Negroni … Sbagliato…
with prosecco in it”. Do not rush over those ellipses and really lean into your
most seductive ordering voice. “A Negrooooni… Sbagliaaaato… with prosecco in
it”. Bonus point if you do it in a British accent.
That cocktail went viral earlier this month thanks
to Emma D’Arcy, who plays Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen in HBO’s “House of the
Dragon”. HBOMax posted a clip of a conversation between D’Arcy and co-star
Olivia Cooke, who plays Queen Alicent Hightower, on TikTok.
“What’s your drink of choice?” Cooke asked her
co-star. “A Negroni,” D’Arcy replied, before adding: “Sbagliato … with prosecco
in it”.
“Oooh, stunning,” Cooke said. To attempt to describe
the charm that oozes off both actors in this clip would be to cheapen it, so
just take 20 seconds and watch it. On TikTok, this video has been viewed 11.4
million times, and it became a popular Twitter meme.
“I keep thinking I should tell my mum that I’ve
become a meme in the hope that she’ll be happy for me, but I’d have to explain
what a meme is, and I’ve decided it’s too much effort,” Emma D’Arcy said this
month, speaking with the New York Times. “I feel so embarrassed. Because in
those interviews, when we’ve been at it for six hours, I’m honestly only trying
to make Olivia laugh.”
Will this random assortment be the most delicious or
cohesive meal you have ever eaten? No, but sate yourself with the knowledge
that this weird combination of food and drink means you will be very well
versed for any conversations about the internet this week over in-real-life
meals.
