Honey & Underling

TikTok's Popcorn Lady and Self-Described Food Nerd

About


This all started with a tweet about a popcorn recipe booklet from 1976. After a few weeks (and a few beers), I put up a video on TikTok of myself making my first vintage popcorn recipe: mint popcorn. Now I'm making videos of vintage recipes and cooking tips for my more than 100 thousand followers.

FAQs


  • Who are you? I'm Lelaina, but you can call me LV. I'm a Harvard-educated, food-nerd lesbian who eats about two pounds of popcorn a month.

  • What are your pronouns? She/her/hers. If you're not familiar with this question, here's an explainer.

  • How do I prevent soggy popcorn? Stop the sog by cooking your butter or using ghee.

  • What does your username mean? Honey is my dog's name. Underling is a reference to three things: the play Julius Caesar, my theater company, and the fact that I am Honey's servant.
