Odd Lots: Eating Steak With Nassim Taleb and Charlie McElligott

Author Nassim Nicholas Taleb and Nomura strategist Charlie McElligott are well-known for their opinions on things like trading, risk and uncertainty. But they also have very strong opinions on food! Nassim famously talks a lot about squid ink pasta, for instance, while Charlie is a well-known meat lover. So we thought we’d invite them to a special meal, one that would be recorded live onstage at our recent event in New York. This is a special subscriber-only bonus episode of our live steak-eating session, in which Nassim and Charlie talk about what makes a good meal, how their respective diets have evolved over the years, plus a near-death experience involving brisket.
