In which we food bloggers are compared to pedophiles? Uh….
We’ve been following along our favorite food geek conference, the MAD symposium, with people like David Chang, Chris Cosentino, Alex Atela, and Roy Choi. And every once in a while, you see such a gem of a Tweet that just makes you stop and question everything. And this was it for us:

Heh, heh. Not at all uncomfortable for us … moving on.
