April White is an award-winning writer and researcher who focuses on food, travel and history. Her (occasionally overlapping) interests have her taken into the country’s top restaurant kitchens, through the world’s food markets and deep into the library stacks.

She recently debuted JSTOR Daily's "History Is Served," a biweekly column at the intersection of food and history. So far, "History Is Served" has taken readers from 1853 Saratoga Springs, where the potato chip wasn't invented, to 1921 Minneapolis, where Betty Crocker was born, and 2008 Los Angeles, the site of the Taco Truck War.
