    NYC ad man Tor Myhren is the 39-year-old son of Denver cable-TV mogul Trygve Myhren, and he’s a big baby. As in E-Trade’s talking baby.

    He was in town last weekend, so we caught a drink at Second Home to talk about his movie, “City LAX,” a labor of love saluting Denver’s urban lacrosse program. It played in Denver last year and went on to win some festivals, then air on ESPN and DirecTV.

    Tor grew up in Denver, went to South High and is back here often to see his pop. But he had some other news. Fortune magazine had just named him “the most powerful person on Madison Avenue under 40.”

    In the early ’90s, a group of media experts had a crazy idea: Let’s launch a cable network, based in New York City, that’s entirely devoted to food, even though they had little interest in food, and even less money.
