Along with being one of the only places in town serving food into the witching hours beyond midnight, Speakeasy now serves brunch on Saturday and Sunday from 10am-5pm. Yup, if you want a great brunch but don't get up super early, you can mozy on down any time before 5pm [...]
...and from what I know of Petaluma, its culture, and its food, I think Speakeasy will be with us for a very long time. On our way to Petaluma Pie Company, after a bit of browsing at Copperfield's books, we wandered by Speakeasy (located on Helen Putnam Plaza right [...]
I am not one to fall blindly for the “try new things” school of thought. If I know something is good there are ample reasons to stick with it. I have been burned many times by eating at a restaurant and instead of ordering an old standby, I opt for [...]
(post unedited) (the third in a series on the 2010 Taste of Petaluma) The 2010 Taste of Petaluma (TOP) is finally upon us! It isn't too late; grab the wife and kids and head down to Haus Fortuna or Putnam Plaza to get your tickets and enjoy a great day [...]

My name is Houston and I am a Petalumaholic. If it has to do with Petaluma, I am reading about it, visiting it, playing in it, or eating it. I try to participate wherever I can in this community that I under-appreciated as a kid. A big fan of food, I revel in Petaluma’s vast and diverse restaurant, brewery, and winery scene and volunteer or visit every Petaluma food festival, event, or “feed” that I can. I am an Elite Yelp reviewer and in my free time blog as often as I can about the food, as well as the parades, festivals, events, people, and businesses that make Petaluma such a great place to live.
I encourage your feedback and look forward to serving the community through Petaluma 360. If you want to follow my blog without having to log into Petaluma360 you can do so by adding my feed to your homepage. Click on the orange “RSS” button at the bottom right of this webpage. Copy the web address of that link and then open your normal Yahoo (or whatever) homepage. There should be an “add content” option which will allow you add RSS feeds. The link on your homepage is minimal in size but it helps my page gain popularity, which I greatly appreciate, and will encourage me to “rant, rave and review” more often.
I love me some piggy belly!!! (at Tara Firma Farms, getting in touch with my inner pig farmer. They are located at the end of I St. and are open to the public from sunrise until sunset with numerous hiking trails and lots of farming.)
