Her new podcast, Kat Robinson's Arkansas, is in production awaiting the reopening of culinary tourism and road trips in response to the COVID-19 pandemic situation. Additionally, Kat's other forays includes running the budding new publishing house Tonti Press, which features the works of Arkansas authors. 'The Girl in the Hat' has been sighted in every one of Arkansas's 75 counties, oftentimes sliding behind a menu or peeking into a kitchen. Few have spent as much time exploring The Natural State, or researching its cuisine. Kat's journeys across Arkansas have earned her the title 'road warrior,' 'traveling pie lady,' and probably some minor epithets. While she writes on food and travel subjects throughout the United States, Robinson is best known for her ever-expanding knowledge of Arkansas food history and restaurant culture, all of which she explores on her 1200+ article website, . Her expertise in food research and Arkansas restaurants has been cited by Saveur, Eater, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, the Southern Foodways Alliance's Gravy podcast. Her work has appeared in regional and national publications including Food Network, Forbes Travel Guide, Serious Eats and AAA Magazines, among others. She is the Arkansas fellow and curator to the National Food and Beverage Foundation, a guest editor for the University of Arkansas publication Arkansauce: The Journal of Arkansas Foodways and the 2011 Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism Henry Award winner for Media Support.

Her other books are “Arkansas Pie: A Delicious Slice of the Natural State” (2012), “Classic Eateries of the Ozarks and Arkansas River Valley” (2013) and “Classic Eateries of the Arkansas Delta” (2014).
