Question:

What exactly is the meaning of “buttah” and what is its origin?

— Cathy Chapman

Answer:

So that's kind of a funny story that's actually comes from Chad Sarno who used to work for Rouxbe. He's a great friend of mine still talk to him all the time and butter is basically because he grew up in Massachusetts and he actually has the brand called wicked healthy as well, which is a phrase Wicked something that a lot of people in that part of the country. Use and butter is just a play on words and how somebody from Imagine sheets would say the word butter and because it was not actual butter. He was looking for a replacement word. Just like a lot of people use chicken where they just instead of the en they put apostrophe and so but it's actually just a play on words to be able to say it's something like butter. So kind of a funny story there that came from Chad and Derek Sarno. But that's basically their play on Buttah. So I hope that helps Cathy and Happy Thanksgiving,
Dan Marek
