Matt Kirouac, Travel Writer with a Queer Agenda

 I started writing about food while in

culinary school in Chicago. Ever since 2006,

I've been writing about food and travel,

starting as an editor of the Robert Morris University newspaper before freelancing. My byline

has appeared in Travel + Leisure, Thrillist, Zagat,
InsideHook, Tasting Table, AFAR, Eater, and many 
others. In 2019, I launched a
podcast with iHeartRadio called Parklandia, 

about national parks, RV life, and travel. In 2020,

after two years traveling in an RV, I settled 

in Oklahoma City, where I became the first

gay writer to have a cover story on 

The Oklahoman.
