Nathan Myhrvold FOOD & DRINK / BOOKS
Nathan Myhrvold
Town Hall

Nathan Myhrvold is the mastermind behind Modernist Cuisine—the six-volume (2,438-page!) scientific cookbook opus that’s been hailed by the food-obsessed as the greatest thing since sliced bread—or at least Escoffier. (Myhrvold’s obsession began at the age of 9, when he told his mom he wanted to cook Thanksgiving dinner. She let him. It was probably better than hers.) In person, the former Microsoft CTO has a geeky charm that clearly contains a bristlingly brilliant brain. Modernist Cuisine costs $625; tonight’s lecture is five bucks. You should go. (Town Hall, 1119 Eighth Ave, www.townhallseattle.org, 7:30 pm, $5) by Bethany Jean Clement

Be sure to ask questions about his super-shady Intellectual Ventures patent troll holding company and the way it shakes down startups for cash.

Is that pic supposed to make us want to set that POS patent-trolling asshole on fire? Fuck that guy.

Nathan Myhrvold should never be mentioned any other way than "Patent Troll Nathan Myhrvold."

Either before or after you go, make a little time for a fabulous This American Life episode, which is essentially all about this duplicitous, hypocritical jackass. I'm sure he's also a swell cook.

Patent Troll Nathan Myhrvold. He's a stain. Un-recommend.
