YouTube creator Max Miller, known for his popular channel "Tasting History," has been named one of TIME's 100 Most Influential Digital Voices of 2026. Miller's channel, which boasts over 4 million subscribers, delves into the history of food from various eras, from medieval meals to Wild West saloons and even the rations of World War II soldiers.
Since launching "Tasting History" during the pandemic, Miller has produced content that explores a wide range of culinary topics. His videos have covered everything from ancient Roman dining to the gourmet meals served on early airlines. Miller's approach aims to educate and entertain viewers about historical food practices, sometimes with surprising or unappetizing results.
In addition to his YouTube success, Miller has expanded his brand into other media. In 2023, he released an official "Tasting History" cookbook.

Further broadening his reach, Miller co-hosted the reality competition series "Clash of the Cookbooks" on the Roku Channel.
