(NSFW) Video: Food, Science, and Electric Bacon Lecture at Seattle Nerd Nite

I was very honored to be the very first speaker at Seattle's Nerd Nite a few weeks ago. They asked me to talk about what I know: food and sciency stuff. They also told me that having a few cocktails in advance of my presentation was highly encouraged. The irreverent, historically inaccurate, desperately passionate, swear-laden rant in the video below was the result. As I explain, I'm not much of a history buff. Without my slide notes (which were too far away to read) historical names, dates, and the sequence of events that I describe is not to be trusted. But the rest of my talk is informative, if you happen to be seeking information on doing insane things with food.
