About

After a successful career in commercial photography, primarily within the corporate sector, Heather founded SacTown Bites in 2019, seeking a slower pace of life and a deeper connection with the local community through food. A passionate advocate for the culinary scene in Sacramento, Heather is dedicated to highlighting both the region's diverse food culture and the artisans behind it. To share this passion, Heather launched a variety of unique food tours, including street food and mural explorations, wine and cider tastings, lavender farm visits, and exclusive chef’s menu experiences. With a strong foundation in photography and management, Heather is excited about the future growth and impact of this small but thriving business.

Mariah Houston is a Sacramento native who has deep roots with its thriving and diverse food scene. Growing up her parents introduced her to cultural foods and events that she thought was the norm. However, going to school in the south, she soon realized just how much of a foodie Mecca Sacramento was. Her newly revitalized curiosity surrounding all things food and drink has been fueled by her love for the food side of social media and her world travels. As a new-ish vegetarian, she has also enjoyed rediscovering new foods at some old favorites. Mariah’s day job as an English teacher and her love for culinary adventures made her excited about joining the team here at SacTown Bites.  Of course, one of Mariah’s favorite things to do is try new restaurants and recipes with her family and friends. She also enjoys hiking and spending time with her two adorable fur kids.

Megan began giving tours of the U.S. Capitol as a college intern in Washington DC. While her career has taken her on a path to serve non-profits, her love for traveling and exploring places’ history, art, and food scenes has only grown over the years. After being a frequent tour attendee during her travels; she decided to jump back into giving tours and share many of her favorite spots and history within her own city with you. She’s lived in Sacramento for almost 15 years and is still amazed by the new places she discovers in the region. Megan’s favorite things to do include spending a relaxing evening on one of our many pup-friendly patios like Revolution Wine or Canon. Or getting outdoors on a hike with the pup along the American River Trail or up into the hills in the Auburn State Recreation Area.
