Kat Robinson Biography

Kat Robinson is an award-winning Arkansas author and food historian specializing in covering restaurants, food and culinary traditions in The Natural State. She is also an Emmy-nominated television host and producer.

With more than a dozen titles to her name, Robinson has established herself as the state's expert on all things culinary. The author of "Arkansas Food: The A to Z of Eating in The Natural State and 101 Things to Eat in Arkansas Before You Die" has dedicated her time and efforts to researching and cataloguing everything from historic eateries to home cooking methods. Her books span both a burgeoning restaurant scene and a repertory of recipes that showcase the foods and cuisine from decades of home cooks, church groups, rural communities and metropolitan clubs.

Her latest effort, "The Arkansas Barbecue Traveler: A Roadside Companion for Hungry Wanderers," covers 399 different barbecue joints throughout The Natural State, with details and full-color photography that showcase a boom in smoked meat purveyors. Robinson also covers 248 different recipes for pie and pie crust from all Arkansas sources with the award-winning cookbook, "The Great Arkansas Pie Book," and personal recipes from a lifetime of home cooking in "A Bite of Arkansas: A Cookbook of Natural State Delights."

Robinson's documentaries, Arkansas Dairy Bars: Neat Eats and Cool Treats and Make Room for Pie are both available to watch through PBS.

She is the co-chair of the Arkansas Pie Festival and a founding selection committee member for the Arkansas Food Hall of Fame. She has written for Food Network, AAA Southern Traveler, Serious Eats, and Forbes Travel Guide and has been cited as an expert in Arkansas cuisine for Saveur, Gastro Obscura, Eater, USA Today, and The Wall Street Journal. She lives in Little Rock, Arkansas.
