Portobello Mushroom
Here is the origin of the name for the Portobello Mushroom that is still clouded in mystery.

Now i now how you keep your body in shape. When you “eat” your burger, it doesn’t appear to get any smaller. Didn’t you like it?
Here is the K i forgot
You know what? in 1986 I got told off by the librarian at the Michigan State U chem departmenbt library for bringing an open can of diet pepsi with me to drink or sip as I studied. She told me off and told me to get my can of pop out of her library!!
I eat my burger while holding the buns firmly with both hands
OMG You certainly know how to eat a burger!
Carl Jr.’s will sell a million of them this week!
We don’t have Carl Jr’s here in Chicago. I guess I’ll have to visit LA.http://www.hotforwords.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif
I like the dinner you posted on Twitter better!
marina, could u look up the origion of the phrase “comming out of the closet” refering to homosexuality? thanks.
If you look at men’s dictionary, there might be a clue there.
Hey Marina. Gorgeous as always. It looks like your roots are showing a little bit though. Anyway, I have a phrase I’d like you to look into. I was wondering where the term [virtual reality] comes from. Why don’t we call it digital reality? What is so virtual about it?
lol! I do that all the time in the library… It makes the experience worth while! lol! But, I dont think I have managed to make it look so GOOD! If I did it would probably be odd! lol!
I’d love to suggest: [testimony]; it has a really interesting meaning, which would fit well with your vidoe-style.
I would love to hear the meaning of the phrase [dead as a doornail]
hello! You also have fans in Slovenia.
i am interested in meaning of word [celebrity ]
Who can really call himself celebrity. me?
The link for Carl’s JR is broken Marina. You forgot the .com
Cute video. Great commercial. I wouldn’t want to eat too many of those burgers though. If I did, I’d weigh about 300 pounds.
is asking people how to eat burgers a trend lately? ijustin is asking the same thing in her last video.
I would like to request the word [pepsi].
how about the phrase [paint the town red]. why red? why paint?

This kid I knew in high school, his parents grew mushrooms and canned them for restaurants and food places. They ran a business and were quite successful at it. I would go over to his place and we’d go into where they had the mushrooms growing, it was a big metal building, like an airplane hanger and all the lights were shut off so the mushrooms could grow in the coolness of the darkened room. We’d turn on some lights though and we’d start up the forklift and do donuts and cruise around and goof off, it was fun. Well one day I was over at his place and his parents were on a vacation trip and so we snuck into their liquor cabinet and downed vodka. There was some food in the fridge but we were dumb kids so we ate oreo cookies and drank vodka and I barfed on his carpet and cleaned it up while I was drunk and my friend freaked out understandably because he was drunk also. His mom figured out (when she got back) that we got drunk while she and her husband were away on vacation and after that I didn’t go over to their place as often but it was cool to see how mushrooms were grown and know about that part of business and industry.

Marina I would like to request the word [spandex]
hello! my name is nenad jebivi.
i have always loved shows that were discussing words and word origins, but tv has changed and that’s not on the programe anymore.
i was watching the young turks about a week ago and marina was there. until then i didn’t know about your show. some of your videos are really interesting.
the word i’m interested in is [torque], what is it’s origin and what did it mean in ancient times.
WordPress 2.8 is likely to be released next week. (Aside: Found out a little while ago that there actually are people who host WordPress on Microsoft’s IIS7 — yuck!).
Marina i just want to know this for fun can you do the word intercourse
I really thought Porto would mean port in Latin or Italian. Bello would mean beautiful and that the translation in English would be beautiful port. Perhaps the Portobello Mushroom grew in a beautiful port in Italy or something like that.
could you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!!! do a video for “Turn of Phrase” i hate when ppl say that cause its so weird
Marina!
I see as Obama was touring the pyramids at Giza today on an “OTR” he actually remarked that his Five Guys hamburger run in DC two days ago was nearly as fun!!! Maybe he watched your lesson?? Q
Marina, can you tell me the origin of the word [bayonet] ? You have not done it, and I really want to know what it means because I have a school report on it. So please, can you tell me?
Marina,
Im curious to know if you can find out information on the word [Ceta] i looked through your list and didn’t see it. My cousin from hawaii uses the word as her a part of her screen name’s throughout the internet. She couldn’t give me a satisfying definition and i found your website today. the most akward website i’ve ever seen, but now that i read up on your help section i kinda got the drift. I saw a bunch of words from your list, that it seemed like you defined just to show people’s ignorance.
, Josh.
How about any word that starts with a [W] or a [Y]
!
Since you have shown us the meaning of words starting with almost every letter of the alphabet escept those two. It seems likea good
Except not escept
[wy] — “egg” in Welsh
[wynd] — Scots dialect for “alley”
Ok sounds like a couple good
’s. Ms. Orlova, would you be kind enough to be the star in a presentation about a word starting with the letter [w] or [y]?
What would you consider an American(is there one)(should there be”one”) language? Probably many?…

That’s a good point. This is a West Coast-only (click the arrow next to the locator input field) “lesson.”
I would REALLY appreciate if you would make a video explaining the history and country of origin of the word [Blowjob]. Hahha i have no clue why, i just…want you to. Hahha Thanks so Much!

Marina,
Perhaps [proof read] needs to go into the Marina files as a word phrase. There is either a time shift or July in your new calendar has a mind of it’s own! Nothing my Sharpe couldn’t fix however…

True enough.
Hey, I’m saving my calendar for eternity as it will become a special collector’s item. I mean who wants to collect an ordinary calendar when this calendar will be designated HotForWords super special month.
Marina,
On this comment I want to request the word [Trauma].
Damn, you can even make the act of eating a burger look good
very nice to see that you’re normal. I myself just dive in, it’s there to enjoy right?
I would like to request the phrase [pissed off] haha
Hi Marina , i think word [CHOCOLATE] can be good for your world request …
Im going to be very happy if you will choose it … see ya in next request xoxo
Hey, I’m in the Apple Store, playing on a 24″ screen, getting close to buying.
Later gator
It ROX! Are you buying today or perhaps wait a week, there are announcements next week by Apple.
24″ monitors were available as far back as 2007 — so there are likely to be bigger ones available now.
I just got back from the city, today was a research day.
I would appreciate your input greatly.
Comparing the following:
Apple Specs
* 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
* 4GB 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM – 2×2GB
* 640GB Serial ATA Drive
* Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse
* Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad (English) and User’s Guide
* iWork ‘09 preinstalled
* Final Cut Express preinstalled
* Apple Remote
* Canon PIXMA MX860 Office All-in-One Printer
* NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics
OR for a little more $ a better graphic card and faster chip
2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 with 256MB memory
I don’t really need the Final Cut Pro at the moment but if I have it I may be encourage to use it.
I don’t think you need to spend the extra money for the faster chip… I never do.. and I think the difference is not noticeable. So I don’t see the need for the faster processor or even the faster video card. What’s amazing is that those 24″ iMacs were $1800 just a few months ago! $1499 is a great price!
With my options the price is $1,985.95 and subtract a $100 rebate for the printer total is $1885.95.
Where do you find out when the promotions are?
Looks good dude!
If you’ve never had a Mac, you are going to flip out. I did. I only use a windows machine for about a year before this new baby and I love it already! Everything is so much easier and streamlined. If you have any trouble theres a video to help you. It was little intimidating at first but that quickly passed. Once I stopped thinking “windows” and started thinking “mac” it all became very simple.
I didn’t get FCE or ilife, but picked up the same printer (nice) and bumped the comp up to 1TB. Picked up the apple protection plan as well. I installed it but can’t figure what the hell it does or even where its at. Much more learning to do.
Stop looking through the “windows” at what could be and become the “mac”daddy you always knew you were.
I wasn’t going to buy the protection plan, I figure if something is going to break it will be within the first year. This is automatically covered.
Oh ya, If you order it online through the apple stores “Educational Store” and say you go to a collage where you live(they’ll give the choices) I’ll bet you save close to $300 on that set up you have going there.
I saved $180 on mine.
After I got my Mac I took it to the apple store along with my old laptop and had them move all my photos, itunes, and email to the new unit. For Free.
They don’t ask you to prove you’re a student?
No. They asked what my zip code was and I punched it in. Then a list comes up of collages in your area. Just pick one and boom, thats it. Do a mock sale in the ED store and then in the regular store and see the difference in price. When I say “mock sale” its actually a real sale but just take it to the point of paying and then back out. You’ll see the difference in price. Alot of products and software in the “ED Store” are less expensive. I can tell you that the comp is $100 cheaper right off the bat, and that fancy FCE Is $20 less as well as ilife.
Theres a savings of $140 right there!
yeah, ask … anyone for input. or “fashion statements“.
$1885.95? lol. that’s apple for ya right there — fucking rip-off. subtract $1000 and get a pc with the same specs.
Oh Alex, Alex, Alex, you just can’t be happy for me. You’re such a *curmudgeon*
Got an HP with a few problems brewing, looking myself.
I ‘d blow the protection plan off, just a gimmick to suck more money out of you.
Go with the basic plan, faster chip and graphic card you probably wooden notice the difference anyway.
If you got a printer that works ok I’d blow off the one that comes with it, if that cuts down on the price.

This is the sexiest video lesson ever, Marina
(I have this mild food fetish and I was watching where you were dripping the sauce from your big burger.). I eat my burgers 2-handedly, with the wrapper. Oh yes, the glasses were sexy, too. Reminded me of Marilyn Monroe in “How to Marry a Millionaire”.

Barack Hussein Obama. He had his speech from Cairo at 6:00 A.M. this morning. I was all prepared for another ‘apology-fest’ but was pleasantly surprised. No apologies, and he seemed to try to marginalize the radicals from the moderates. That is a great idea! Alot of what he said just ain’t gonna happen(Rid the world of nuclear weapons?! That genie is out and won’t be put back in the bottle), but he has 1251 days to do as much as he can. Now its off to Buchenwald!
Duh.
I must admit to a tendency to [divest] myself of political thoughts before I log on here. That particular reference didn’t even enter my mind. If you don’t mind my saying so, I’ve learned that even the barest hint of political commentary can and often does spark a virtual firestorm, and this ain’t the place, in my humble opinion.
It has been proven time and again to make fire-breathing enemies out of formerly [affable] classmates. I’ve seen it happen with amazing rapidity and [vehemence] so I sidestep it. That ain’t what I’m here for.
Free speech [notwithstanding], I prefer to seek ways that people are similar to myself and others instead of looking for differences between myself and others or inviting others to do so by the mere mention of such subjects. It’s just that simple. The R-word (eligion-ray) is another potential powderkeg that I check at the door. Pardon my swine-Latin old buddy.

Hey, babytou, WELCOME to HotForWords! [Word] up!
-pennsyltucky9
why is so wrong to eat meat? since the man on earth, we eat meat, it’s or it was the primery food type for us, it’s not so healthy “that i know” (i’m not a fan of meat, but i eat meat when i get the oportunity). Ok I know that some people do not stand to watch some cow or pig to die, but this not mean to NOT eat meat, if you are a animal lover that’s ok, nobody is blaming of nothing, but you do not kill that animals and let the others enjoy their meal. It’s not about you who don’t eat meat, its about the others who enjoy it, do you’r things silently and let others alone, do not have to spend money convincing others to do not eat meat, it’s a waste of time and money.
HOTROCKY this is not for you, its for people in general, I do not have a thing for the people who do not eat meat, I have a thing for people that do not eat meat and try to convince others not to eat meat. They shood mind their business and let the others mind their own.
sorry for my english, i’m from romania.
Wise words, S, wise words! Did you ever notice that vegetarians and vegans are always sick with some nagging ailment? They always say things like, “It must have been that boullion cube I ate?” and I’m thinking, “No, what you need is a steak about 3/4 inch thick, medium rare!”
I have my portobello mushroom burger with no burger. I’m vegetarian, so I order it with no meat, and it’s just right!
In times of carnage I practice the mystic Sub-Genius credo: “Don’t just eat a burger. Eat the Hell out of it!”
His a word, that I hardly think you gonna find [falus], sorry for my english.
That’s probably “phallus” which is an old word for penis.
thats correct, but i’d like to say 2 thinks, first – it’s not quite acurate, it’s not penis but it refers to male genital organs, and second i badly whant to see Marina haw she try to explain how she found the word, and how she try to explain what it means.
In the end HOTROCKY get’s an A+

I would like to request the word [shebang] as in (the whole shebang)
I would like to request the origin of the word [Scout]
Ok, my mouth is officially watering now. We don’t have that brand in England, but there’s a place near me that serves terrific burgers.
Homework:
I normally have mine with blue cheese, red onions and some other secret ingredients. That said, I’ll never eat another one in quite the same way again.
Brownie points:
I did an internet search on the shroom and Portobello Road.
I’m betting that the brown “Crimini” (an Italian word) mushroom (Portobello or Portabella) was not based on Portobello road, London, and going instead with the Italian origin.
Portobello Road may have been derived from the Porto (port) Bello, Panama, Central America. It was captured by Vice Admiral Edward Vernon of the Royal Navy. This granted him freedom of the City of London. Probably, various locations were renamed Portobello to honour the victory.
Seven months later you honor my request, Yippee!

Marina’s a muse; she could give you lessons.
Ars longa, vita brevis…but Hippocrates would have said it in Greek, right? Am I watching this video too closely?
In my high-school Russian class, one of the lessons was on Russian mushroom hunting. My best friend and I thereafter used to use the phrase “красный с белыми точками” (”red with white spots,” i.e. a deadly amanita mushroom) in reference to toxic foods and substances.
Isn’t there a theory that manna from heaven is really one of the psychoactive ‘magic’ mushroom (sorry if this offends anyone).
Magic Mushroom, Mana From Heaven – probably a dubious theory, but you never know.
How many mushrooms grow in the Sinai desert? They usually need decaying vegetation and moisture for growth.
I enjoyed the rest of the video though, especially the bits about commonalities in ancient stories. The biblical story of Noah is also found in the Sumerian / Babylonian epic of Gilgamesh.
mmmm. juicy! BTW, nice glasses!
well you likely stimulated two out of three basic human drives for some people. however if you bored anyone you may have stimulated one out of three instead.
Shouldn’t there be four basic drives? Such as the need to drink ssstronger thaaan eeeating (hic)?
I guess sleep is the strongest drive, but every now and again, I do wonder.
Peevish?
I got your big plump Italian mushroom right here! lol
Congrats on the Carls Jr endorsement, Marina! I hope you were compensated handsomely. I think it’s way cool… like a word request you get paid for! I for one like the word chosen for this lesson, and don’t mind that it came in viral ad form. That’s what’s cool about the internet age we live in… people (and corporations) finding new creative ways to use the internet, whether it be for ads, video lessons, or music. More power to you!
Well, I wish I could interact with HotForWords via Twitter, but my account remains mysteriously suspended. So I’ll just stick to the good ol’ HFW website. Sooner or later, Twitter will clear up whatever’s going on with my account and I’ll be tweeting in no time. In the meantime, I’m still around here.
Peace and love, Errin : )
p.s. My compliments on the new hairstyle, Marina. It’s pretty rockin’!
i love to imagine to eat my burger while going on a diet.
[dolce]
As in “La dolce vita”…well, why not? M. has been on an Italian thing lately, with “influenza” and “portobello.” Wouldn’t “dolce” be sweet?
Marina, i would like to request the word [influenza]
See her lesson on “swine flu.”
Well… if it happens to be a “fur-burger”, I eat it gently… and leave with a smile on my face afterwards.
If someone offers you a Qubenza Mushroom Burger from Cheech Jr’s… phone the boss and tell him you can’t make it in until the next day. Tell him you “had to go on an unexpected trip!!!”.

What’s with this Carl Jr. trend that seems to go on at YouTube? There are 2 other popular channels I’ve watched that are sponsoring it:
davedays
smosh
Oh, and I never tried the $6 burger. I don’t know if we have a Carl’s Jr. here, we have Hardee’s.
They offered the gig to nine partners. I thought it would be fun.. combine a lesson and then eat a burger! It wasn’t painful to watch me eat the burger, right?
Umm…rather deliciously painful, I would say…
Yeah, well there’s a fine line there, Marina. Speaking strictly for myself I’d sure hate to lose you to the mainstream commercial media. On the other hand, you SO chowed that burger! Nice work, it definitely made me hungry. Did they just give you permission to use their product name in the shot or will they use it and air it on the West Coast? Do tell.
pennsyltucky9, I am part of a whole new medium and it’s fun to try out various ways of getting my content paid for… and this is just one more way. I thought I made it fun… but remember who you are talking to here, pennsyltucky9, I’m not stupid. (Or at least, I don’t think I am??)

Nice. I hope you were well [remunerated]. No, clearly you are not stupid, and it certainly wasn’t my intention to [impugn] your intelligence level, my dear teacher. You definitely made it fun to watch as well. I hope you’ll excuse my business-ignorance when it comes to show biz stuff. I’m just a country boy.
Mostly, I wondered whether there’d be a TV commercial made from it.
Now that I’d love to see, but then I thought about the power of the profit motive, and how it has been known to change people sometimes. I know that’s not you, though. Silly of me.
This is what I get for posting so late in the evening when I’m too tired to think clearly. Thanks for [allaying] my worries.
[right]
Speaking of fast foods, I posted a prank idea in the comments on a fairly popular YouTube channel. And the following day, it looks like they kind of went with it… but differently:
Chick-Fil-A Prank
My idea was a bit stupid and mean. I told them that they could go to Burger King and order McDonald’s food (or vice versa). And after they get them to explain why they don’t serve that there, ask for directions to the nearest McDonald’s (or Burger King) location.
Lots of wild mushrooms grow on the central coast. Chanterelle mushrooms are abundant.
It was profitable to take a hike in the Oak forest and pick up a few pounds. A produce distributor in San Francisco would pay us over $50.00 a lb.
The occasional portobello would be found as well. Hell I found a big potobello right in a vacant lot near town. Ate it that same night, almost the texture as tender steak. The Chanterelle makes the best white creamy gravy when cooked with a little white wine.
Word request [monetize]
I would like to request the word [Etcetera] or [Et cetera].
It’s a very common word, we use it almost every day, but I guess no one knows what it really means.
Thank you.
ps.: Sorry if I wrote something wrong, if I did, correct me please, I’m brazilian, so I still have a lot to learn about your language, or, the English language, whatever.
Your English is much better than our Portuguese!
Bienvenido…um…bemvenido…benvenutto
see my point? 
Marina, you look absolutely delicious with glasses.
Now much did Carl’s pay you for this product placement?
I eat mine over a PLATE!

M, please disregard anything this person says pertaining to you, food, and sex. They obviously have not got to 1:09-1:10. I highly reccomend repeated viewing of these TWO seconds and I am positive your mind will be changed!
Yeah buddy, beevee! Eating/playing with a lover can be a VERY sensual experience.
Maybe we should all see 9 1/2 Weeks again.
Maybe it’s just the KIND of food that’s putting him off. For example, I’ve never been much into meat drippings and catsup; I’m more a chocolate syrup and whipped cream guy.
I always liked freeze pops. You know those plastic, liquid bags you freeze? Those always worked very well! The shape is great, too
. Just make sure you have the old sheets on the bed because they DO stain, and it doesn’t come out.
Even simple ice cubes can be…interesting.
Well, since you are doing a Carls, Jr. commercial, the least you could do is dribble the sauce down your chest. Imagine a closeup showing the sauce s-l-o-w-l-y flowing down Happy Hollow. Mmmmm.
I had a $6 portobello burger yesterday, but I wish I had seen this commercial first so that I could have slobbered more.
I actually did! But I can’t show that!
OOOHHH Marina, I’ll bet you just made Camp’s
dayweek. He’ll be walking two feet off the ground, eh, CK?Six inches, anyway!
Bragging, CampKohler?
Yes, you can show that.
Yes, you can show.
Yes, you can.
Yes, you.
Yes.
Homework: Open mouth –> insert hamburger –> whilst inside mouth, bite on hamburger –> chew the hamburger —> swallow –> repeat
not funny
I’ve always wondered where the phrase [Sadie Hawkins Dace] the kind of dance where girls asks guys came from. Please help me figure out the origin of the phrase. Thanks!
“Going Dutch”
I know its not exactly what you’re looking for, but its pretty close. Enjoy.
It’s Sadie Hawkin’s Day, not Dace. This was an imaginary holiday in Al Capp’s Lil Abner newspaper cartoon. On that day, women could pick their men (vs. the other way around). (I don’t know exactly what they did with them after they picked them, because, back when the cartoon was running, they couldn’t get too graphic.) Basically, as far as the genders were concerned, the tables were turned.
Correction: Sadie Hawkins Day (no possessive)
How much of that burger did you eat?
My Guess: One Bite…that went right into the trash can next to your chair.
Compared to how you seem to eat on a regular basis, eating that burger would be just like eating poison…and make you feel like you just ate poison.
I’m not a big fan of mushrooms.
I think they kind of taste like dirty dirt and the texture reminds me of chewing on the inside of my cheek…Nasty!
The Best Carl’s Jr. commercial I have ever seen.
★★★★★
Girl, you gone get fat eat all this shit…
We gone to have a fat Hotforwords…
Very nice production values and editing. Tell CC you’ve got bandwidth problems slowing down video delivery (all afternoon 6/3/9, at least into Wyoming via Qwest). Maybe it’s time for new server/network connections. From what I read about him, CC’s revenue is up and he can afford to upgrade HotForWords’ bandwidth.
My business manager doesn’t take care of that, he only handles people who want to advertise on my site and any potential business deals, as so many are thrown my way and I don’t understand half of them!
Today was the first time I’d seen an inability to load a video from your site (it seemed like the server wasn’t responding but who knows the reason).
I just want everyone working on your behalf to give you the technical and business support you deserve, Marina, because you work so hard and are such a nice and genuine person. You’re now running in the big leagues and (as you know from your reply) you need good people to help you with the details as you focus on what makes you “Marina Orlova”. You’re smart and I’m sure you’ll be fine. I’m so proud of you as an artist.
I’ll never forget the sight of old women, widows of the GP war and the purges, sweeping the train platforms from Vladivostok to Riga in 1976. God bless your parents… and you for fulfilling their love. The integrity and effort of your life is something 95% of the people in “Hollywood” and “new media” can only pretend to have. In your negotiations, just KNOW that what you have to offer: Marina Orlova, the smart and happy entertainer- without gimmick or “game”- is what your fans love about you here…and will love about you wherever your journey takes you! Bon voyage Cheri!
Aren’t solar flares supposed to be bad right now? Would that have anything to do with it?
Dear Marina,
Well, you look far better than Paris Hilton when she did a TV ad for Carl’s Jr. a few years ago. You would be wonderful in a TV commercial for them. Their sales would skyrocket if you did a Carl’s Jr. TV commercial, because you have so many subscribers. I’d go to a Carl’s Jr. in Daly City because it was close to where I worked.
I thought the mushrooms were called Portobello because they were do big and beautiful. “Portobello” means “beautiful door” in Italian. These mushrooms are very tasty and I cook with them, sometimes.
Well, tomorrow night the NBA championship series start with the Orlando Magic at the Staples Center against the LA Lakers. It will be crowded, noisy and exciting. Many famous celebrities will be there. The Laker Girls will dance their beautiful routines, and the finest basketball players in the world will compete for the biggest and best championship in basketball. I hope you enjoy the game!

Thanks.
Capitalism what a great concept, hey Marina?
I eat my burger in a far less entertaining way. There are no Carl’s Jr restaurants in this area. My new favorite burger place is Five Guys.
My, my. Marina. Is this how you’re going to behave during your Twitter lunch date?
Great lesson! And the clarity you produce in your background is brilliant.
Dirty’s and Top Notch are great here in Austin. But mine on the grill ain”t too bad. Got to add avacado slices or guacamole, and jalapenos to make it right.
You’re so cool!
Always.
Oh, Marina, how could I forget? You need to cook a big, fat, greasy burger and put oysters, raw or fried, on that sucker. Taaasty!
I’ve never tried that one and it actually doesn’t sound bad. My brother is the chef. I’m going to ask him if he ever tried it.
WARNING: It is highly recommended that you abstain from ANY oyster consumption before and during this video! Especially if you are alone
It’s great. If you like oysters in the first place, of course.
I’m practicing for that date!!!! I still have to pick a winner! I think I might have time tomorrow (hopefully) to pick one. Then I’m going to extend it for another lunch date!
Uh-huh. Like you need to practice.
Oh, dear, Marina, you’re practicing WHAT? Just be yourself, you’re really quite loveable as you are. I would be quite content just to spend the time discussing philology with you. And looking at you adoringly. And blushing when you catch my mind wandering.
You mean now there is a chance for TWO dates! I knew I should have become a twitter-bug. M, you and I both know that whoever wins this date is going to sit there the whole time giggling like a fourth grader. In fact, I think you should tape it and throw it up on the site for two reasons: 1) There low comfort level and 2) whoever it is, will be telling stories and video will help flesh out what is real and what isn’t! If it is a regular, that would be even better!
BTW, I actually slept pretty good last night. Didn’t think about THAT video at all! Got up early to watch BHO.(OMG, I just re-read that. What is wrong with ME!
hey
I love mushrooms 
B.B. 
any & all
I would like to request the word [thug].

I can’t do poetry either.It’s still nice to meet you leonard
I try…thanks pinorivera, Pineapple Express: Thug Life

Two things:
I’ve never wanted to be a hamburger before 
1) The two seconds of 1:09 to 1:10 are no doubt the two most sensual seconds ever commited to film and will be repeated over and over by EVERYONE who checks out HFW, regardless of gender or sexual orientation!
2) Because of #1, it took awhile for me to catch; but you never do give the REAL origin. Is it narrowed down to the examples you gave? Oh well, it was still a good lesson(especially 1:08-1:20; that should be on a loop!)
Homework: I grill about five times a week in the summer. I’ve got a Weber Kettle and that is all you need because you can also smoke with it. I prepare my own hamburger meat with seasonings so I just throw some cheese on there. But I have dabbled in the bacon, swiss, onion and mushroom and combinations of all of them.
When ads involve food, the food used is not edible — for example, it might be coated with “plastic” to make it show up better in the video; or milk might be replaced by heavy cream etc. Was the burger in this video the real thing or a made-for-ad thing?
Homework
AWESOME lesson! 
I love portobello mushrooms 
YUMMY 
However, the only thing I don’t like on my burgers are onions 
Agreed. I love cooked onions, but raw on a burger overwhelm everything else. Now, having said that, I eat mine with jalapenos. Raw, pickled, or whatever. Comes down to subjective taste, I reckon.
Feeding you kids more than twice a month at a fast food restaurant is ‘passive child abuse’
{Che is not a fan of fast food restaurants}My favorite burgers are the kind we grill at home. Sauteed onions, some bacon, bbq sauce, and all the veggies and other stuff I can pile on. Yum yum!

Have you ever had “mountain oysters”? A Story:
Very tender (they were young) and just a little bit gamier than chicken! You just had to dismiss from your mind what it was.
My neighbor and I had to make 12 bull calves into steers. A tricky process! We got them in the gates and started running them through the head catcher. I would take their tale and pull it straight up along there spine while he would get the stool and go to work! A few climbed back up in there(we got them out) and he only got shit on once but, in the end; we had 24 oysters. I took them home, my wife cleaned and deep fried them in seasoned flour. They were delicious!
I wouldn’t know about a full grown bull who already had the, ugh, reproductive capabilities. I think that would give it a little different flavor!
Yeh, I had a cowgirl/rancher girlfriend who fed me some once. It was a treat. I photographed the whole process, felt bad for the cows.
Surprisingly, they didn’t buck as much as I thought they would. I had their tale broke over their back and we had a leg bar so we weren’t to worried about kicking. A few did, or tried to, but I thought they would be bitching more. We were pulling them out about six inches before we cut them and that was only if they didn’t tear off!
I could feel it in MY stomach! we would let them out of the catcher and they would stumble a bit, but they were all running around like nothing happened in a couple of days. They didn’t even act like they were mad at us! 
The rancher (brother of my GF) just used a pocket knife, tied the hoofs then branded them. He was really efficient.
Just thinking about that creates a feeling in MY stomach…don’t think I would have the stones to eat them…from empathy if nothing else…
I photographed the whole process, felt bad for the cows.
I thought you were just talking about the prep and eating. My bad!
Ranchers who do it all the time are good like that! In my minds eye I can see him with a Stetson on, a dip in his mouth, western shirt and a bandana somewhere on his person. If he is classy, he will call this a “handkerchief”. We only had about 100 head and the only time we worked them was when we first got them. Maybe some injections later. We were feeding 1,600 hogs/day, too. AND inspecting chickens at night. If it had meat on it and was edible, we had it covered. Tired all of the time but our freezer was FULL!
NUTS…a [Test]is coming up?
Nutritional information available at Carl’s Junior Web page
1.7920z (53g) total fat
1730mg of Sodium
870 Calories
Click on link for complete list of nutritional information.
That’s 19g (.64 oz) of saturated fat, take a shot glass and fill it up 5/8 full with fat, now drink it. But you’re really drinking almost two shot glasses of fat to get that 19g. *puke*
This sandwich has as much saturated fat as 30 Chicken McNuggets and a good deal of salt.*
*(Source Men’s Health Magazine)
May have made an error here, accidentally compared a fluid oz to a weight oz, I think the volume would be more.
But that was yesterday & now I’ve moved on.
Translating that nutritional info into % of GDA (guideline daily amount) and “traffic lights” (the Food Standards Agency’s preferred nutritional labelling scheme):
Calories: 43% (GDA 2000 calories)
Fat: 76% (GDA 70g / Red)
Sat fat: 94% (GDA 20g / Red)
Sugars: 10% (GDA 90g / Green)
Salt: 75% (salt ~ sodium * 2.6, GDA 6g / Red)
Definitely NOT suitable for those on a calorie controlled diet, and I’d have to agree with Che that it’s probably not a very good idea to eat one of these more than a couple of times a month. At most. Oh, and if you do, stay away from the scales for a few days…
The % put it into perspective quite clearly. Tks.
Right you are, it’s not a good idea to make a habit out of eating these meals.
Moderation in anything is the key.
The human body will react adversely from constant nutritional punishment.
well i dont eat it like Jessica Simpson from the BK commercial, not like im complaining that u did
. But i eat mine with 2 patties, plenty of cheese, ketchup, mustard, and bacon. 
yum
.
Marina,
How come you no longer request people to subscribe (if they haven’t already)? You still request rating/stars, but why have you done away with the request for subscribers?
Time. I had to cut the length of the videos down! But good idea, I should squeeze it in!
and to be good
thanks 
Shades of the eat with your hands video.
And now I’m hungry.
This sucks, looked up a local Carl’s Jr. All I got was a funeral home reference with a house number of “911″
Look at you marina, trying to be all sexy eating your burger, I laughed so hard. It was so funny!
James,
Marina isn’t helping you quit smoking. Now you’ll be wanting to light up every time you finish a burger.
“trying to be,” James? Since when does Marina have to TRY to be sexy, at anything?
This video is very clear — reminds me of the videos of that “michaelarmanada(or some such name)” guy.
Marina, You look really beautiful in this,
I have not watched it yet.. but I reckon its something to do with portabello road..
Btw this was the kind of timescale I meant
WOO I kne portabello road would crop up!
Yes, but she never says which one it is and then you get, errr, sidetracked when M starts enjoying that burger!
That’s the way I eat a burger!
[burgher]…[bureaucrat]…
thank you
Sometimes I add stuffed mushrooms with shrimp and cheese and add them to my burger. Surf & Turf delicious.
Damned if that ain’t a great idea!
p.s. Homework – Sloppy, fast and with lots of onions. Extra credit – Best burgers? I like Miss Anne’s Snack Shop in Atlanta and the original Tommy’s Burger on Hollywood Blvd in LA. I’m going to try the Five Guys in southeast D.C. (where Obama went) after work today. What’s your favorite burger joint? Cheers, Q
Is this the way its going to be from now on?
Or are you just collecting audition videos for future job potentials.
Wendy's - Square hamburger, Round bun, What a conceptDAMN I MISSED THIS ONE!! I need to look at tweets when the come in not 5 mins later.
I wish were an ad, not for a burger, but for a hotdog — for then you could have given a proper demo of how you eat that dish!
TASTY;;;YTSAT…Italy cooks…tell me more
Love mushrooms
That is sooooo funny. I just had a Carl’s 6 dollar mushroom burger yesterday, but I like watching you eat your burger sooo much better.
Awesome lesson!!!
OK, you can have half of mine leonard
THAnKS, friend!!!
Love them!
Just picked a wild one…was late to the bell
