Keith McNally, the owner of Pulino’s, Balthazar and Pastis, likened Post restaurant critic Steve Cuozzo to a “centipede” on Eater.com yesterday, adding insults like “illiterate, low-life hack” and “gutter journalist” for good measure. McNally didn’t like Cuozzo’s sticking up for New York magazine’s Adam Platt — whom McNally had called “overweight” and “out of touch” — in a recent column. Cuozzo tells Page Six, “I’ve long suspected Keith McNally had a secret crush on me, and I’m thrilled he’s finally found the courage to confirm it.”
