identity 'a secret'. Hortense (voiced by Grey DeLisle) – An air-head employee of the Burgerphile restaurant who falls for Dan after he begins a protest against the restaurant because they gave him the wrong order (cheese when it was asked for no cheese {this happened again in another episode}). After the establishment's head-manager refused to correct himself, Dan chains himself to the counter in protest. The two briefly "date" during Dan's protest, during this time the head-manager asked Hortense to use Dan's love to stop the protest. Instead, Hortense decides to call a news agency to bring attention toward the conflict between Dan and the manager. The two break up by the end of the episode when she gets promoted to regional manager in another district and Dan refuses to make her "give up on her dream". She later returns and announces she is to be married to the owner of Burgerphile named Jeremiah Burger which drives Dan insane, as he feels deceived.

Dan then goes to trying to keep Hortense from marrying Burger as he has married, divorced, and killed his wives (he had seven wives). It turns out that Dan had misinterpreted that statement, as all the wives were at the wedding. Dan attempts to gain back Hortense's love, but fails and reluctantly leaves her.
