  1. Wow..take 5. Interesting. And, a total of 5 giveaways (caught the dvd one at the end)! Nice. I’ll have to think about making a 30-second video…not that great on camera, so we’ll see. :)

  2. Love Blake Takes Five!!! Very cool! Thanks, Blake!

  3. Bacon shot is awesome!

  4. I love this new video segment!!! It was interesting and you are adorable on camera :) Thanks for all you do!

  5. Ok Blake takes 5 is cool, not sure I am ready for an on screen debut but I will think about it. Two Fat Ladies can’t be beat though, their vegitarian anchovey sandwhich still cracks us up.

  6. Very nicely done and thanks for the shout out :) I know you are just buttering me up for more Pork Belly though.

  7. Great idea + great show! I’m sure it’ll be a hit.
    Wishing you great success!

  8. Hey bk

    WAY to go! You’re building your “empire” nicely. And you featured several of my must go to blogs (in addition to your’s of course!) Now you’ve really done it by giving away the “Two Fat Ladies” who I absolutely, positively adore. Those two ladies were instrumental in dissolving any fears I had about experimenting in the kitchen, and allowed me to adopt my “throw caution to the wind” attitude when creating new dishes. Oh please consider me for that giveaway. I’ll definitely include it in my upcoming video program which is still underway.

    Thanks again for all that you offer to the food blogging community. You get 5 stars from me

  9. love the new feature. not sure if i will participate since i am camera shy but i can’t wait to see future episodes :)

  10. Hey this is great!!
    lol at the bacon site!
    I used to watch the 2 fat ladies yrs ago, brought back memories from when I lived in Wales.

  11. Thank you for the mention in your first video Blake. Great job on the episode. You looked like a natural.

  12. Cool take 5. Great tips. The donuts sound tasty. I like the way you are always taking it to the next level. Happy New Year! Joel

  13. I am also not quite ready for an on screen debut but I think this is great.

    Have never seen Two Fat Ladies either but it sounds like fun.

  14. I love the two fat ladies. Especially when they ride in that motorcycle thing with the side cart. Hillarious!!

  15. i loved your first episode of BT5! i will definitely be sending you a video.

  16. thanks for the links–love your site!
    btw, i dig the bg music, too!
