Long time fan here. I personally tend to skew a little older (29) than your average viewer, which made a recent mention you'd like to do more adult or mature targeted content stick out to me.
What kind of content would you like to make if say, your audience was in the 25+ range? Meatier topics? Political? I hope what I mean is clear.
MyDrunkKitchen471 karma
Honestly, I think that the content I make is just for someone who I would want to hang out with... however old they are.
I just get frustrated when I meet people who aren't apart of the YT space and they say things like "BUT IT'S ALL A BUNCH OF 13-YR OLDS RIGHT??" and it's like "....le no."
However, any 13-yr-old that's also a Hartosexual must be pretty fucking rad if you ask me.

Can you please do another episode of Tabletop?
You were so awesome there!
MyDrunkKitchen259 karma
I WOULD LOVE TO! LEMME E-MAIL WIL AND FELICIA RIGHT NOW!
USSWendy193 karma
Hello (boop boop) and thank you for doing this AMA! I only have two questions for you.
1) Who would you like to play you in a movie of your life?
2) Marry me so we can run away and make blanket forts with our babies?
MyDrunkKitchen315 karma
1) I would like Sean Bean to play me. 2) Aren't we married already though? E-polygomy is real.

Hi Hannah! What advice would you give to someone who's just coming out of the closet?
MyDrunkKitchen403 karma
Honestly, I think what's most important is remembering to love yourself first. You've got to be your own best friend before going out to face the world. This advice could go for anything though, really.
freud111981153 karma
Hi Hannah,
Thanks for doing this AMA! My Drunk Kitchen is hilarious. Who would win in a burping contest between You, Mamrie, and Grace?
MyDrunkKitchen286 karma
Most likely Mamrie... but that's because she would be burping out of both ends... if ya know what I mean. ;D
MyDrunkKitchen195 karma
I love soup so much. Soup might be the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Shea1988135 karma
Hannah, first of all thank you for being such an excellent role model for the LBGT community. What is your favorite food?
thecheeseistrapped105 karma
Hannah,
First of all, you're the best. I am so glad that a couple years ago, I found a corner of the internet where a drunk girl makes poutine (which is NOT a really dirty word), puns, and ultimately a big delicious mess.
Second of all, my question – your recent-ish fashion video was incredibly great. I'm a girl currently in love with menswear – however I definitely have a budget to take into consideration, and as awesome as Kipper looks, it seems out of my price range. I have a wedding that I'm attending in the fall and I really want a sweet suit for it. Got any suggestions?
Third of all, you're the best. Just wanted to reiterate that.
MyDrunkKitchen124 karma
Honestly, one of my tricks is to go to the clearance are of any men's clothing selection and find a XS or S or whatever. HM is a great shop for that!
Right now it's really hard for women in our community to find menswear that fits well, but I hope that as it becomes more accepted people just start making styles that are unisex!
MyDrunkKitchen185 karma
I have a recipe for seduction called "CAPRESE" which deals with all sorts of sexy things like...buffalo mozzarella... and.... more mozzarella.
Cassidyking1686 karma
Hey Hannah, what's your best advice for someone who feels like every day is a new low, and nothing will get better?
MyDrunkKitchen416 karma
Take a break from thinking about your own life and think about improving somebody else's.
Dinkleberg-_-83 karma
Do you have any plans for your post-youtube days? Or do you think it's something you will always continue to do so long as you have viewers? (which obvs your hartosexuals got your back)
MyDrunkKitchen146 karma
I think I will continue my YouTube channel as long as humanly possible. ;D
MyDrunkKitchen114 karma
I would seriously consider it yes. I would need mega tall heels though.
GChan12978 karma
Have you ever filmed an MDK that wasn't useable/ you never uploaded? If so how many?
PS. smiley face.
MyDrunkKitchen115 karma
Yep! It was called "Carrot Cake" and was the hottest of messes.
Yaudio869 karma
Hi hannah! I live in Peru and I bought my ticket for the San Fran No Filter show already. I'm going all the way from Peru just to see you guys!!! Will every copy of your book sold at the NOFILTER shows will be signed? Also, what do you prefer to wear... v neck shirts or tank tops?

MyDrunkKitchen100 karma
YES YES YES and I LOVE BOTH and OMG PLEASE COME UP AND SAY HI!
Thank you for coming!!!!
Shea198854 karma
Who is your favorite doctor and what is your favorite episode of Dr. Who?
MyDrunkKitchen97 karma
watchova51 karma
Everyone has to flee L.A. and you spot Grace and Goose on the side of the road. You only have space for one of them, who do you pick?
Too cruel?
MyDrunkKitchen177 karma
GRACE OBVIOUSLY GOOSE CAN FEND FOR HERSELF BUT GRACE IS AS HELPLESS AS A BABY DOE
MyDrunkKitchen148 karma
My favorite kind of rain is when there are intermittent downpours. Basically I love it when you have to stay inside that day and do whatever you want in the cozy comfort of your own home... And you don't feel bad about it because everybody has to! Due to warnings of flash-flooding.... but then everything is fine! And there were no floods! And everyone was happy. :)
free2bEmma44 karma
Hannah, You are doing an AMA on my birthday! Thanks for making my day, even though it was completely unintentional. What is your favorite part of YouTubing?
MyDrunkKitchen66 karma
Happy birthday!!
And my favorite part of YouTubing is meeting interesting people. Turns out that the internet is full of them! :D
slegary41 karma
Will you guys bring #nofilter to Canada? Specifically Ontario. More specifically Windsor?
MyDrunkKitchen46 karma
We did last Christmas! But only on Vancouver and Victoria... Maybe next year! :D
MyDrunkKitchen100 karma
JUST SO HARD. But also I'm oddly the best at baking...??? Like everything that I bake tastes good???
beeraholikchik30 karma
Ay girl!
Even though you don't go into detail about the hardships you've had in your past, what did you do to cope with everything? How did you get through it and become as awesome/successful as you are today?
What do you honestly think you'd be doing if you hadn't gotten into YouTube?
What TV show are you really into right now?
What food/drink are you craving at the moment.
PS: You're awesome.
MyDrunkKitchen74 karma
I've been really blessed. I've been through my fair share of it... but then again, hasn't everybody? I feel like we all have different burdens/baggage, and we just have to choose the way we want to live our lives without judging ourselves or each other.
If I hadn't gotten into the YT stuff... I think I would have been a bit lost still... That's one of the reasons I'm so grateful. I feel like my community has given me a purpose and that's all I have ever wanted. Just somebody/somebodies to make proud.
Draculoid29 karma
Hey Hannah! I always watch your videos to help me cheer up when I'm feeling pretty down. My question is, how the hell do you stay so positive? It's something I really admire!
Congrats on the book, by the way! I can't wait to read it!!!! :D
MyDrunkKitchen88 karma
The truth of the matter is that I have to work to stay positive. It's a daily thing. It's not a passive action, it's a conscious effort to try and find a bright side.
NuclearSunrise25 karma
Hello Harto! Have you had any recent revelations in your daily life? (Ie WTF corn is a grain?!)
MyDrunkKitchen52 karma
I KNOW RIGHT CORN IS A GRAIN WTFFFFFF
TIL that Elon Musk wants to live on Mars??
BabbySlenderman21 karma
Hi Hannah! What did you think of Dan (NerdCubed) when you met him?
MyDrunkKitchen26 karma
Honestly, he was one of my favorite people to collaborate with. What a total sweetheart. <3
briannaG2421 karma
Hi Hannah! Me and my girlfriend are huge fans of you, and are going to #NoFilter DC. Will there be a meet up with you and the other girls?
MyDrunkKitchen25 karma
I will be signing books after the show! Let's hug! :D
MyDrunkKitchen58 karma
In ten years, I would love to have a dog and a cat and a couple of baby Hartos. That's where I see myself. :D
And I believe that Hartosexuals are a nascent community and a way of life! I think my demos range from old to young, male to female (and others), and basically consist of a group of smart, thoughtful, and positive bunch.
We are good company!
anastasiagowan17 karma
Would you ever dye your hair another color that isn't blonde or brown? If so, Which color?
Depukel417 karma
Hey Hannah, thanks for doing this! I really appreciate how you (and Grace and Mamrie!) do your best to interact with us as much as possible on things like this, Tumblr, and other mediums. How do you think hartosexuals, trinititties, and others should establish what is the line that shouldn't be crossed when posting or commenting about you guys and your personal lives? Love you! :)
MyDrunkKitchen24 karma
I think that people do a good job of respecting boundaries. We are lucky to have a good group of peeps in our community. :)
elDarto17 karma
Hey Hannah, thanks for doing this, I wanted to know can Vloctober please make a dramatic comeback this October??!
MyDrunkKitchen44 karma
You know what... that's a brilliant idea! I'm literally writing that down right now.
I do some vloggin sometimes... and it's on http://youtube.com/yourharto
sjrose15 karma
Hi Hannah! I preordered your book and can't wait for it to come in the mail!
When and how did you first start to realize that MDK was getting big and becoming a sensation?
MyDrunkKitchen35 karma
It still shocks me to this day. I think the only time I really started to believe that this was all really happening was when I met the President... O_O
nnn33114 karma
Of all the places you've traveled, which would you most recommend for someone to visit?
MyDrunkKitchen48 karma
I really wanna go to Iceland... I would recommend people go there and then tell me about it!
Also, Japan... but the countryside. Not Tokyo. It's just got a lot of beauty and ancient-soul-type feelings...
MyDrunkKitchen61 karma
I would say that maybe the best thing is about new book is probably the way it smells. It smells like book.
Dunno about a worst thing.
blunderbusstree11 karma
How did you find an agent? Were you approached because of your success on youtube or did you seek them out? I'm currently attempting to find one myself and I hope that you would have some advice about the process.
MyDrunkKitchen21 karma
I was approached! But honestly... agents... meh. I think it's better to find a self-sustaining form of entertainment.
rixhx11 karma
Will you be doing any Hello Harto tours in countries other than the US or UK or Australia? :D
gypsysoulwandering10 karma
Hi Hannah! What is your favourite recipe in your book? I tried PB and J and PC and I have to say I didn't hate it lol Looking forward to trying more :)
no1partyanthem9 karma
Have you considered making another film? Would the tone be different to Camp Takota?
MyDrunkKitchen51 karma
I actually just finished my first screenplay! The tone is different... more akin to Little Miss Sunshine or something that's like... heartfelt...and indie...
BUT NOT NEARLY AS GOOD AS THAT SCREENPLAY.
tinalemon9 karma
Have you ever thought about writing an autobiography? Also what your favorite pun?
MyDrunkKitchen20 karma
The book is a lot like an autobiography actually... just with recipes to match each life experience. :)
ALSO DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE
MyDrunkKitchen41 karma
Sit down. Cry. Bleed from forehead. Hope that the drops form words.
And then do it all over again the next day! :D
p.s. writing is really really hard... but deeply rewarding... I would say the best/only way to deal with writer's block is to muscle through it as much as possible. Don't leave your desk until you've written SOMETHING. No matter how terrible it is! At least you're getting the juices flowing.
starlightzone7 karma
Hey Hannah! I've been a big time fan of yours. And I'd love to know the best and worst experience you've had while doing this show, what type of starbucks drink would you be, and what kind of games do you like playing?
MyDrunkKitchen16 karma
BEST EXPERIENCE: PUBLISHING A BOOK :D
STARBUCKS: GREEN TEA
GAMES: MIND
weederthanyou7 karma
Hey Hannah! What was your favorite memory in Berkeley and where did you like to hang out?
MyDrunkKitchen20 karma
I loved living in the co-ops while at school. :)
And my favorite place to hang out... maybe that coffee shop on the north side? I can't remember the name right now...but it was great!
MyDrunkKitchen27 karma
I've always, always wanted to write a book. And I really hope to write another one some day soon.
My motivation... was basically that I wanted to make sure that even if/when My Drunk Kitchen stopped being a weekly show... there was tangible evidence of some of the messages that mattered most to me.
laughingbuildsabs4 karma
Hey Hannah!
What's your favourite lazy person recipe that isn't included in your book?
PS. Love you
MyDrunkKitchen21 karma
WHAT? I PUT ALL OF MY FAVORITE RECIPES INTO THE BOOK. NEVER BEFORE SEEN EVEN.
HANNAHHART.COM/BOOK :D :D :D
