BLAKE KILLIAN
NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA
I love food. My favorite place on the planet (other than my own kitchen) is Whole Foods. I love cookbooks and spend most weekends watching the Food Network and cooking. BLAKE MAKES is something fun for me and Bridget (my wife) to do. It’s part of doing what you love and loving what... More
congratulations man, getting your brand out there….lucky bastard:)

Awesome, Blake!!! You rock! Alton Brown seems like a fun guy to be around….you two probably had a blast.
I’m very happy for you and Bridget….the kingdom continues to expand! 
Posted by Ashleigh on April 23rd, 2008 at 10:29 pmThat’s awesome that you got to meet AB, he seems like such a nice guy. I’m glad to hear he’s a down to earth guy and doesn’t just put on an act for TV. It sounds like your really getting your name out there.
Posted by Lexi on April 23rd, 2008 at 10:43 pmWow! That’s is so awesome that you got to meet THAT Alton Brown! He’s long been one of my favorites, if not my #1 favorite on Food Network! Feasting on Asphalt was a great series to watch! I bet it was a blast to sit indian style with him and get to ask him all kinds of questions! Keep rockin’ the Blakeness!
Posted by Heather on April 23rd, 2008 at 10:52 pmAwesome! A friend of mine met him today too, at the book signing. He is the best. I love listening to him on ICA. Ice cream machine! Ice cream machine!
Posted by brandi on April 23rd, 2008 at 11:41 pmWow! Alton was in New Orleans? So lucky that you met him!! He is my favorite on Food Network, since I’m a science geek myself. It’s awesome that you are getting your name out…pretty soon you may just end up on Food Network too!
Posted by Amy on April 24th, 2008 at 5:44 amBlake, “you’re the man”. And, Alton is a HUGE favorite of mine because he is the epitome of all things “original, colorful, eclectic, entertaining, and now of course…….All Things BLAKE”. Keep on…..keepin on.
“Blake Makes”…………And………..”Boscoe Bakes”……..Hmmmmmmm.. Might be food for thought..LOL

Posted by Mark Boxshus on April 24th, 2008 at 6:27 amBlake, that is so cool! I was just listening to an interview with him on Spendid Table from NPR. Do you listen to that show? It’s really good.
I think the funniest thing is that you filmed it while driving. That’s multitasking!
Posted by Geggie on April 24th, 2008 at 6:49 amI love Alton! He’s a dork in the best possible way!
Posted by brilynn on April 24th, 2008 at 8:24 amYou are killing me! How on earth did you film yourself while driving without crashing? Too funny. Congrats on meeting Alton Brown and the success of Blake Makes. I look forward to reading the interview. He definitely beats to his own drum.
Posted by Danielle on April 24th, 2008 at 10:04 ami’m so jealous. i love watching alton on good eats. i always come away with something new. i just tried out his process of making fried chicken. it didn’t quite turn out like his, but it was still delicious.
Posted by Susan on April 24th, 2008 at 10:24 amvery cool - congratulations on your continued success!
Posted by alison on April 24th, 2008 at 10:33 amThat is awesome that you got to meet Alton Brown.
Posted by Lindsey on April 24th, 2008 at 10:48 amMy husband is constantly saying. “Alton says to…” or “I learned from Alton that…” He would LOVE to meet Alton!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Posted by PlainJane on April 24th, 2008 at 12:52 pmI was at that book signing yesterday! Alton tolerated my son’s singing quite well, and seemed like a fun, yet justifiably tired, fellow.
Looking forward to the interview!

Posted by Kate W. on April 26th, 2008 at 10:43 amHaha, Blake, I’m jealous! I adore Alton Brown. I keep meaning to get a copy of his first book, and I didn’t even realise he had a new one.
ps - Just wanted to let you know that I have the chutney and will blog about it asap but I wasn’t able to use it this week because of Passover, my recipe ideas being not quite kosher. Thanks for understanding
