ABOUT US

Built 2 Eat | 🍽 American Plates with Chef Blake & Conservative Ant Chef Blake hits the road with his co-host Conservative Ant to explore the best of Florida’s and America's food scene. From restaurants & food trucks, pop-up dinners, festivals, and food challenges, they dive straight into the action—literally. This isn’t just a sit-down food review. Blake and Ant roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty working both the front of the house and back of the house at locally owned, veteran-owned, and mom-and-pop spots that have earned the love of their communities. Along the way, they get to know the incredible people and families who keep these beloved businesses alive. Every stop ends with an honest, in-depth food review but the real magic is the stories, the hard work and the heart behind each plate. This down-and-dirty, behind-the-scenes approach to food reviews is sweeping across Florida…and now Blake and Ant are taking the show on the road to uncover Great American Plates!
