‘Platter’ taunt in food feud

THE bad blood between restaurateur Keith McNally and former Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter is still boiling over.

McNally leaked an e-mail conversation he had this week with Town & Country style features director Erik Maza to his infamous Instagram feed Wednesday, and from the looks of it, his feud with Carter is far from over.

McNally said his correspondence with Maza happened Tuesday when Maza reached out to say, “Town & Country mag. is putting together our annual gift guide, and we’re asking a bunch of folks that we love a simple question: what do YOU want for the holidays?”

When McNally fired back, “Graydon Carter’s head on a platter,” Maza more level-headedly responded — according to the Instagram post — that T&C “might just print it. But I think there’s some kind of rule against editor on editor crime. Wanna sleep on it.”

In response to the concern expressed by Maza, who was perhaps expecting an answer more along the lines of scented candles or cashmere socks, McNally wrote, “If you have [to] think about it, don’t f - - king print it.”

That’s when McNally got testy and posted the whole exchange on social media. Carter did not comment.

Maza, for his part, told us: “Keith was a good sport for playing along with our game. I just hope I can still get my favorite martini in town at Balthazar. As for whether we’ll run the quote, watch out for our December issue!”

Commenters are now speculating whether Town & Country will run the gory quote.

In May, McNally ripped Carter as a “fancy f - - ker” — and banned the journalist from all of his eateries — after Carter allegedly failed to show up for a 1 p.m. reservation for 12 people at McNally’s restaurant Morandi.

Carter alleged that the contentious situation stemmed from a piece on McNally in his online publication, Air Mail, titled, “Keith McNally Goes Off the Menu.” It seems McNally has gone further off.
