Issue 01August 2026Six stories

Six tables.
One August.

The first issue follows the road from downtown Santa Rosa to the coast, Larkfield, Sebastopol and Novato.

Santa Rosa · Sebastopol · Larkfield · Novato · Sonoma Coast

Editor’s note

Why begin with a table?

Issue 01 has its own fixed reading sequence. It begins with a shared Mediterranean dinner, leaves Santa Rosa for the coast, stops for Filipino dessert off Highway 101, returns for tacos and a diner breakfast, then ends at a Persian feast built for a room full of guests.

The Stories archive will keep growing. This issue preserves the first six pieces in the order they were published.
