Good things take time. It’s an adage I’m sure we’ve all heard, and (while a bit cheesy), I believe there’s no better way to introduce our food, homes and arts issue and the delightful stories within. Though, perhaps, good things can come quickly—there’s something to be said when time, effort and experience coalesce to create something truly magnificent.
Such is the case with Lake Elmo’s newest restaurant, Marma. Created by two lifelong Stillwater residents who spent their adolescence working their way through the ranks at Marx, Marma is a fine establishment made all the more interesting by its backstory (page 38).
Also in these pages, writer Jennifer Pitterle connected with Stillwater iconographer Debra Korluka about her family’s choice to renovate their home for multigenerational living. Now, three generations live under one roof; it’s a touching story that finds art, lifestyle and love interwoven (page 33).
Across the river, Third Street in Hudson, Wisconsin, has been building its Halloween legacy for more than two decades. With the commitment of more than 50 households, the street now draws thousands of visitors each Halloween with its delightful decor and celebratory spirit (page 20).
And in Lakeland, one couple found their passion and made their mark on the vanilla industry. Andy and Sara Kubiak’s company, The Vanilla Bean Project, achieved a world first with its Regenerative Organic Certified pure vanilla extract (page 16).

FIDDLER ON THE RIVER
WHEN 9-YEAR-OLD Brian Wicklund first heard the quick-tempo twang of bluegrass from his mother’s Flatt and Scruggs album, he fell in love. Wicklund’s father, also nipped by the bluegrass bug, took his son to Minnesota Bluegrass & Old-Time Music Association events in the Twin Cities, where musicians nurtured young Wicklund’s interest by teaching him how to play the fiddle.
Decades later, Wicklund has toured worldwide, performing with over half a dozen different bands, including The
Barley Jacks, with whom he released three albums of original music. He also authored the best-selling instructional book The American Fiddle Method. This year, at age 59, the Marine on St. Croix resident has been inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame.
On performing, Wicklund says, “I’m presenting a break from regular life for my audience. I want them to forget about all of the things that they have to do at home—forget about the lawn, forget about work and really just get lost in the music.”
Wicklund likens his role as instructor to the Wizard of Oz. By teaching aspiring fiddlers at music camps, online through The American Fiddle Method or in private lessons, he seeks to share a bit of magic with his students from behind a metaphorical curtain. “I’m teaching them how to be their own wizards,” he says. —Findlay Drabant

Dia de los Muertos
Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is traditionally celebrated by those of Mexican heritage in late October or early November. While its purpose is to remember loved ones who have died, it’s far from scary or sad. During Dia de los Muertos, the focus is on happiness and fond memories; the holiday features delicious feasts and colorful, intricate shrines.
This little board book, written by Hannah Eliot as part of her Celebrate the World series, is a wonderful introduction for curious young readers. Its 24-page size is perfect for small hands and sturdy enough for children who want to love their books a little more enthusiastically.
The book describes the origin and traditions of Dia de los Muertos Key words are shown in Spanish and English. The art by Golden Globe Award-winning illustrator Jorge Gutierrez is vibrant, silly and not at all scary.
This is a delightful little book that will remind young and old alike of the importance of celebrating life and honoring death.
Rachael Johnson is the assistant manager at Valley Bookseller. You can find Dia de los Muertos on the shelves at Valley Bookseller or at your favorite local independent bookstore.
Very Vanilla
Ever wonder about how to use vanilla bean paste? Sara and Andy Kubiak, founders of Vanilla Bean Project in Lakeland, share that vanilla bean paste may be substituted in equal amounts for vanilla extract in any recipe that calls for it. Brioche French Toast is one of the family’s favorite ways to use the ingredient. (Read more about the company on page 16.) —Zoe Yates
Brioche French Toast
» 4 Tbsp. butter
» 8 slices bread (we like brioche or challah)
» ¼ cup milk or plant milk
» 4 eggs
» 1 tsp. vanilla bean paste
» maple syrup, powdered sugar and fresh berries, optional
Over medium heat, melt half the butter in a 10- to 12-inch skillet. Whisk eggs, milk and vanilla bean paste in a shallow bowl or pie pan. Dip bread in egg mixture; place in the heated pan with melted butter. Cook until golden brown, then flip and repeat. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

ways to serve
It’s a rare nonprofit in the St. Croix Valley that Linda Robertson and Warren Schneider haven’t supported through servant leadership, volunteerism or donations. “Find something you get excited about,” Schneider says, offering a bit of practical advice. “Just dip your toe in the water, and see what happens.”
The pair spent years abroad, living in Belgium, Spain and Singapore for Warren’s work with 3M, bringing their global perspective back to the Valley in 2000.
“I got involved in raising money for charities in the countries that we lived in,” Robertson says. “That was very rewarding because I got to see how other countries respond to challenges.” Her passion for charitable organizations continued as Free Health Clinic of Pierce and St. Croix Counties’ first nurse manager and a Hudson Daybreak Rotarian.
Schneider (now retired) serves on the board of the St. Croix Valley Food Bank, which he helped found in 2021. The couple also holds a Donor Advised Fund at St. Croix Valley Foundation, which makes giving to their favorite nonprofits simple.
“Warren and I can only give a little piece compared to big, big philanthropists,” Robertson says. “But it gives us a sense of pride and the feeling that we’re giving back.”
“We like to do our part,” Schneider says.

ARTS & CULTURE
A Creative Community

Emily Anderson and Katy Helen
FOR MANY who call the St. Croix Valley home, there’s a certain je ne sais quoi that sets the quaint town of Marine on St. Croix apart.
“It’s this magical place where you feel so at peace with the topography, and you are able to escape here,” says Marine on St. Croix resident and artist Emily Anderson.
This essence has drawn a number of creative residents and entrepreneurs to the area, creating a vibrant arts community. “I love the art scene. It’s just so cool because there are so many incredible artists in the area,” Anderson says. “It’s an art place you have to seek out.”
Now, Anderson and fellow artist Katy Helen have founded a working art studio and gallery to create and showcase their work. The pair opened Marine Village Art Studios in the heart of Marine on St. Croix in early summer.
But let us take a look back to December 2023, when the foundation of this friendship—and an idea for a working artist studio and gallery— was set. As most things do, it all started over coffee. On a cold December day, they spent more than three hours together and quickly discovered they were kindred souls. “We went from, ‘Oh, hi. Nice to meet you,’ to ‘Let’s make this happen and open a studio space together,’” Helen says. Both artists draw their inspiration from the natural world. “Our artwork complements each other, while still distinct as to whose is whose,” Helen says. Anderson is a vibrant acrylic painter and focuses on intricate landscape pieces. Often, her inspiration is found just a few steps from the studio

on the St. Croix River. Helen is known for her hand-cut stained glass and mirror mosaic work, which is primarily focused on surfboards. Lately, her focus has switched to a more Midwestern subject: mosaic canoes. “In California, the ocean was my nature; here, it is the river and woods,” Helen says.
Together, these two have made space to create both art and community. The plan for Marine Village Art Studios is to continue to be a working artist studio for both Anderson and Helen that will be open to the public for special events and by appointment.
“This is a sweet town with wonderful people, and we want to be a nice addition to the community,” Anderson says. The gallery officially opened on June 1 with a combined show of pieces created by both artists. “It was an introduction to the community, and we had a steady flow of hundreds of people each day,” Helen says. “It’s a wonderful community and so supportive.”
Marine Village Art Studios is open by appointment and for special events. A schedule of upcoming open houses and more information can be found at marinevillagestudios.com.

Vanilla and the Valley
A Lakeland company creates world’s first Regenerative Organic Certified pure vanilla extract.
By Josie Smith
FOR TWO LIFELONG St. Croix Valley residents, a passion for one common household ingredient has brought a joy and recognition they couldn’t have imagined.
Andy and Sara Kubiak are the founders of Vanilla Bean Project, a company that recently achieved an historic feat in producing the world’s first Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) vanilla extract.
It all started six years ago when the Kubiaks ventured out into the waters of entrepreneurship. Perfectly paired from the beginning, the couple relied on Andy’s expertise in the food distribution industry and Sara’s background as a publicist to bring their vision to life. “We wanted to do something together, but we didn’t know what. Then we found vanilla. Making vanilla extract and making vanilla bean paste, we found something we love,” Andy says.
Vanilla is derived from the dried and cured fruits of the orchid Vanilla planifolia and is grown in tropical climates around the world. The Kubiaks source vanilla from regenerative organic farms in Madagascar and Indonesia.
Vanilla Bean Project products can be found locally at River Market and Jordan Meats and Deli.

Andy and Sarah Kubiak
Once the Kubiaks’ formula for pure vanilla extract was approved, Vanilla Bean Project was born. In the beginning, the couple focused on selling one product, their small-batch pure vanilla extract aptly named St. Croix Brand. It’s popular at local retailers, including River Market in Stillwater and Jordan Meats and Deli in Lakeland. Vanilla Bean Project products can also be purchased on the company’s website and Amazon.
In addition to St. Croix Brand, the Kubiaks also sell the ROC pure vanilla extract, vanilla bean paste and Madagascar whole vanilla beans under the Vanilla Bean Project label. The couple’s bulk business is also a large part of the operation in Lakeland.
As the first vanilla extract producer to achieve ROC status, the Kubiaks are showing their commitment to humans and the environment. ROC is a relatively new, holistic certification for food, textiles and personal care ingredients. Its guidelines are overseen by the Regenerative Organic Alliance, a nonprofit organization responsible for ensuring companies are meeting the highest standards in the world for soil health, animal welfare and farmworker fairness.
“Andy and I have huge visions of what we want to accomplish with our company, which means doing better by vanilla bean growers and the planet— really creating something big,” Sara says.
Based in Lakeland, the Kubiaks say there’s no better place in the world to make vanilla. “Sara grew up in Stillwater; I grew up in Afton. We’re products of this Valley,” Andy says. “We raised our family here. It’s home.”
The couple has built up a strong customer base that extends far beyond the Land of 10,000 Lakes. From Maine to Alaska, their products can be found in cafes, general stores, coffee houses, coops and specialty retailers.
“That’s the beauty of vanilla, it’s not going anywhere,” Sara says. “Vanilla is a part of [people’s] lives. And if we can make that part better and make the best vanilla, that feels good.”

The Baby Go! board book
series
introduces children to global cultures.
By Emily Gedde
VANESSA CHRISTENSEN loves to explore. Whether it’s in the St. Croix Valley, around the United States or across the ocean, experiencing the world and different cultures is part of the fabric Christensen is made of. With a desire to combine her passion for travel and early childhood education, the Stillwater resident published the Baby Go! series in January 2023, aimed for kids aged 0–4. China, Thailand, Japan and South Korea are explored in
each of the four board books.
“The idea of using children’s books to educate on travel and different cultures came to mind when I started thinking of how I can share my experiences with other people,” Christensen says. “I thought a board book would be a fun opportunity.”
The books are founded on Christensen’s own experiences growing up in Asia. Born in Arizona, Christensen also lived in Hong Kong,
Taiwan and Thailand as an adolescent.
“My father’s work brought us over there,” she says. Because her mother’s family lived in Taiwan, Christensen recalls traveling as a child and eventually continued the tradition with her three children, who she’s raising in Stillwater alongside her husband, Cole. She writes about their adventures on her blog, cvgotravel.com.
“Doing things in a different place with new surroundings gives such a

memorable and unique experience,” she says. “I love going to a local playground or going to local celebrations and events. It brings you into the local culture in a unique way.”
The Baby Go! series encourages sensory experiences through colors, shapes, textures and sounds. From being carried in a warm podaegi (baby sling) to celebrating Children’s Day to spotting triangles at Bukchon Hanok Village in South Korea, the books follow children as they discover the culture and traditions of different countries. The series offers parents and their children a unique, fun way to learn about the world.
Christensen admits the process was challenging and full of self-education. The books were illustrated by Audrey Lee and released with the help of Gloo Books, an independent publishing company focused on inclusivity and representation in children’s literature. It’s a partnership Christensen says has been the perfect fit.
“Board books are short, concise and the language is simple,” Christensen says. “You have a limited number of words and pages to fit in a lot of ideas. I love that I was able to accomplish that while covering a lot of wonderful topics and concepts for each of the different countries.”
Christensen understands traveling—especially with children—can be intimidating. She is hopeful that books inspire young readers to get excited about travel. The experience, she says, is extremely rewarding.
“Travel is education and connection,” Christensen says. “I hope the books inspire curiosity and interest in traveling. Getting out there is a wonderful way to learn and enjoy this beautiful world we live in.”

TRICK-OR-TREAT STREET
Hudson’s Third Street draws thousands of visitors each Halloween.
Written by Zoe Yates · Photos by Nathan Hall
When Kate and Nathan Hall’s first Halloween in Hudson, Wisconsin, arrived, they were prepared. The couple had anticipated the arrival of trick-ortreaters at their home on Sixth Street with a stockpile of candy and ready smiles. But no one came.
“We’ve got our lights on. We’ve got all this candy, and the [kids] are just walking by the house,” Nathan says. It didn’t take long for the pair to solve the mystery. “Everybody [was] down on Third Street,” he says.
Lined with historic homes and shaded by a canopy of mature trees, Third Street is a picturesque setting befitting the quaint character of Hudson. Yet, it’s the neighborhood’s Halloween tradition that has come to define the street. From one haunted house in the late 1990s to more than 50 homes lit up in 2023, neighbors have joined together through the years to create an unofficial Halloween block party that draws thousands of
visitors. It’s grown to the point that the street is shut down for the evening to become an avenue of delight for families in the Valley.
COMING TO LIFE
Cheri Rosenberger has witnessed the entire evolution of the annual event. When she moved to her home on Third Street in 1999, the main attraction was a haunted house put on by a group of 20-somethings in an adjacent duplex.
A lifelong Halloween-lover, Rosenberger became one of the first residents of Third Street to decorate her yard for the season. As the years went on, neighbors joined her, putting their own spin on Halloween decor. Within a decade, the tradition became—if not a selling point for Third Street—a wonderful surprise to new residents.
“It’s incredible. You can just see [the kids] coming from the south. I’ve gone out there many years and videotaped
the barrage of children coming,” Rosenberger says.
In the 2010s, Rosenberger started a Facebook page, aptly named Halloween on 3rd Street, Hudson, WI, to communicate with neighbors and the broader community. The page now has more than 1,500 followers from all over the Valley.
“People are now driving over from Afton, Bayport, Woodbury, Oakdale. We’ve had people bring vanloads of kids over here,” Rosenberger says.
One year, a young couple closed on their Third Street house on October 31, arriving at the front stoop with two bags of candy and a string of lights. When Rosenberger told her new neighbors that they could expect well over a thousand kids that night, their reaction was immediate. “I thought their eyeballs were going to fall out,” Rosenberger says with a laugh.
The tradition also came as a surprise to Richelle and Gary Jader, who
moved from Lake Elmo to a Victorian home on Third Street in 2015. “We didn’t know anything about Third Street when we bought our house,” Richelle says. Their gut reaction upon finding out? Excitement, or as Richelle put it, “Cool!”
“I love Halloween. It’s such a magical night,” Richelle says. “And this night is pure magic on Third Street.”
For a few years, the Jaders experimented with themes: Edward Scissorhands went “OK,” ghoulish Igor costumes were “too scary” and The Wizard of Oz worked well for a while, Gary says. Then, during COVID-19, an idea for a distance-friendly candy cannon inspired a pirate theme.
While the cannon never came to fruition, the pirate theme stuck. The Jaders now put together a lively pirate ship stage, with family and friends coming in costume to put on a delightful production. Gary, an actor who serves on the board at The Phipps Center for the Arts, channels his improv skills to interact with trick-or-treaters. Kids dressed as pirates are often invited
onto the ship to take the wheel.
“It’s really fun to work together to create something that brings so much joy to kids and their parents,” Gary says. “... The lines are over a block long. It’s just amazing.”
“Third Street becomes another world that night,” Richelle adds.
After years of longing, the Halls were able to realize their dream of living on Third Street. They purchased their home in 2016 and were faced with one requirement. “[The former owner’s] stipulation was that we had to participate in Halloween,” Nathan says. The Halls were more than happy to oblige, and their two kids, Ruby and Nate, decided on a Harry Potter theme.
Nine years later, it’s still going strong. Each year brings a new addition to the Halls’ epic display, from floating candles and Diagon Alley to a stickwood tunnel and a huge, fuzzy spider. Music is playing, a movie is screened and the family is in full costume. “[Nathan] is a beautiful Hagrid,” says Kate, who channels Hogwarts professor Sybill Trelawney. The pair describes their 15-year-old son,
Nate, as a Harry Potter look-alike, and he dresses the part.
“Creating that whole story around your house I think is probably the best part,” says Nate, who has been increasingly involved with his dad in building props in recent years. Nate also has the responsibility of waving a wand to turn on LED candles that seem to float in midair, a moment that amazes visitors time and time again.
The tradition has come to define the Halls within the Hudson area. “That’s how I introduce ourselves,” Kate says. “If people don’t know where we live, I just say, ‘The Harry Potter house,’ and everybody is like, ‘Oh, yeah!’”
CARTS OF CANDY
Halloween Street has grown exponentially alongside Hudson’s population. The celebration stretches nearly seven blocks—with some homes on Fourth Street and other side streets participating, too. “There’s a little something for everybody,” Kate says. “Some of the houses are so frightening that I still don’t go down there … but then there’s
Kate and Nathan Hall dress to impress as Harry Potter characters. Starting in late summer, the family will head to a storage unit to begin pulling out an ever-evolving collection of props. Kate remakes a twig arch each year, while Nathan and their son, Nate, work on new decorative additions to make their wizarding world come to life.
An estimated 50 homes on Third Street and the surrounding blocks light up each Halloween. Some families go all-out with themed decor and activities. “There’s a little something for everyone,” Kate Hall says.
some like our house. We’re very kid friendly.”
Yet, the event’s size and scope belie the coordination that goes into the event. “There’s no neighborhood group that gets together and plans,” Gary says. “It just happens organically.”
The Hudson Police Department (HPD) shuts down traffic and parking on Third Street each Halloween starting at Vine Street, turning it into an open walking area for the outpouring of visitors. “It’s just a wonderful event to be a part of,” says HPD community engagement officer James Wildman. “You can look forward to it every year.”
Officer Wildman parks near Living Vine Church around 4 p.m. to open up the squad car for kids to explore, hand out Halloween bags with safety tips and play spooky music over his PA system. Two officers and two Hudson Police Explorers go out in uniform to direct traffic. “They really make it a safe place for people to come, and that’s why there’s so many people,” Kate says.
As the number of visitors grows year after year, so do the candy costs. The Halls purchase two shopping carts full of candy each year—and they’re not the only ones. Starting in 2023, The Hall Family Foundation partnered with Rosenberger to provide candy to homeowners who want to participate but may need a little help to keep up with the growing demand. It’s an effort the neighborhood hopes will be able to continue as long as possible.
“We’re all in it together. Those of us who are in it feel responsible for it,” Richelle says. “We have to make it great.”
“Our family is committed to it, and it brings us joy, and that’s why we do it. And, if we can’t do it, do you know what that means? We have to move. We have to give this house to someone else and let fresh blood come in here and do it,” Kate says. “We’re committed.”

Luxury Vinyl Planking vs. Waterproof Laminate Floors
Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) makes for the best waterproof floors. Not all LVT floors are 100 percent waterproof, but higher quality products include a waterproof core and watertight joints, even protecting the subfloor from daily spills, splashes and pet accidents.
Mohawk Revwood Laminate is best known for its superior scratch resistance and waterproof characteristics.

A STILLWATER ARTIST AND HER FAMILY DESIGN A GRAND EXPERIMENT IN MULTIGENERATIONAL LIVING.

Debra Korluka is an expert at weaving together spirituality, experiences and art. In fact, her art is specifically spiritual. The Stillwater artist specializes in Byzantine iconography, an art form that features images (icon is a Greek word for “image”) of Christ and other sacred figures, typically painted with rich colors and intricate patterns. “Being an Orthodox Christian, I prayed before the icons and felt the mystery of holiness in the personages depicted,” Korluka says. She started learning about the practice of iconography in the 1970s, first studying under a priest at St. Mary’s Orthodox Church in Minneapolis and then abroad in Eastern Europe.
Korluka, a second-generation Slavic American, has a bachelor’s degree in medical technology (plus a minor in art history) and worked for many years as a medical technologist. In the late 1990s, she decided to pursue art full time, leading pilgrimages to Russia and Ukraine and painting commissions for various churches and private clients. She also teaches classes from her home studio and at St. George Greek Orthodox Church in St. Paul and the Basilica of St. Mary in Minneapolis.
The process of creating (or “writing”) an icon is a deeply spiritual practice. “I can’t use my own liberty for creation,” Korluka says. “I have to work on becoming more empty to the energies of God and work within the traditional elements of Byzantine iconography.”
Now, Korluka is weaving new generations into the rich fabric of her home life, as she embarks on a multigenerational living adventure.
Her studio—part gallery, part workshop, part classroom—is one of the beautiful spaces in the Stillwater home she shares with her husband, Alexander, and the next generations of their family: daughter Nicole Emmanoulakis and her husband, Ronnie Emmanoulakis, and their three sons, Alexander (8), Anthony (7) and Andreas (4).
“My son-in-law, Ronnie, really fell in love with our place and wanted it to stay in the family,” Korluka says.
“That’s when we started investigating the possibility of rebuilding this into a multigenerational home.” Could they design a house where grandparents, children and grandchildren could all coexist, reaping the benefits of caring for each other and making memories?
The answer was yes.
A Lasting Home
The 1989 Stillwater property, where Nicole and her brother, Robert, were raised, is more than just a home for humans. “We have horses,” Korluka says with a smile. The family enjoys riding and caring for the creatures together—and Korluka has even worked on equine art. One of the perks of building a home for three generations, she says, is the security in knowing someone will always be there to care for the animals. “We can travel, or [Nicole and Ronnie] can travel, and things are taken care of at home.”
Nicole and Ronnie had dreamed of
calling Stillwater home again. They met at a friend’s wedding in town, but Nicole was living in Chicago, and Ronnie in his native Sweden. When they married and started their own family, they built a smaller home in Stillwater. “But I realized we were having dinner with my parents four days a week,” Nicole says with a laugh. “Eventually, we decided to figure out an addition and end up here all together. My parents do not ever have to leave.”
Collaborative Living
The two couples worked with an architect to design the new home, using much of the existing footprint, while adding more than 2,000 square feet. Construction took a little over a year, and all seven members of the household officially moved in together in May 2022. Ronnie and Nicole were primarily in charge of the new layout, since they plan to stay rooted for many decades to come.

Most of the living spaces, including the kitchen, are shared, while there are separate bedroom wings for Debra and Alexander and for Nicole, Ronnie and their sons. “We didn’t want my in-laws to feel removed,” Ronnie says. “We didn’t want their space to have a separate entrance or anything. This is still their home.” An open staircase helps the spaces flow together seamlessly, and the younger family unit was able to
build some more intimate living areas (like a TV space and a playroom for the children) into their own wing.
Day-to-day life in the multigenerational home has been fairly easy to navigate. “Nicole cooks, and I clean the house,” Korluka says. “It naturally fell into place.” On most days, everyone gathers for meals, and grandma and grandpa provide childcare a couple days a week. Nicole, who works in
market research, and Ronnie, a risk operations director, often work from home, so they have office spaces that are set apart from the main living areas.
The children get plenty of opportunity to freely play in nature, something Ronnie says he relished during his own childhood in Sweden and Greece. They help with the horses and explore the woods and pastures on the property.
Blending the styles and preferences
of two couples—and four individuals—into one home was occasionally a challenge, but Nicole says it ultimately came together. “We really tried to collaborate and keep the things that were important to my parents,” she says. She calls her design style “a bit more rustic farmhouse,” while Korluka says her own style leans “European or classical.”
One thing everyone agrees on?
Korluka’s beautiful art collection. “The art I’ve collected during my travels is scattered throughout the whole house, partly because my kids received many pieces,” she says. “The kids were raised around art.” Some of her favorite pieces are by Vasily Bratanyuk, a Ukrainian oil painter whom Korluka calls a friend. The home spotlights works by other Eastern European artists (many of whom Korluka also knows personally), like watercolorist Natalya Maltseva and iconography from throughout the region.
Where the Heart Is
Ask members of the Korluka/ Emmanoulakis family what their favorite part of multigenerational living is, and they’ll speak in harmony: togetherness. “The house is a gathering point for our family,” Ronnie says. “I want the kids to have as close a relationship with their grandparents as possible.”
“We have two additional adults to rely on,” Nicole adds. “When life gets busy or challenging with the kids, we have that resource.”
“Being together with my grandchildren is a highlight,” Korluka says. “We all learn a lot from cooperative, shared living like this.”

THE MAKING OF MARMA
Marcus Clark and Max Basaker bring fresh flavors to Lake Elmo.
Written by Rachel Schuehle — Photos by Chris Emeott
FINDING YOUR DREAM CAREER rarely happens as a teenager, but for Stillwater residents and chefs Marcus Clark and Max Basaker, what started as a high school job became a way of life.
The pair first crossed paths at the now-closed Marx Fusion Bistro and Wine Bar in downtown Stillwater, where they bussed tables and washed dishes as teens. At the time aged 15 (Basaker) and 19 (Clark), they were eager to learn the ropes and absorbed as much as they could from mastermind chef Mark Hanson, owner of Marx. Diligent and attentive to the inner workings of the industry, they quickly moved up in the restaurant ranks to expo, pantry and bartending, and as their skills developed, so did their friendship.
Through those years, Basaker and Clark playfully discussed opening and running a place of their own. “Max is one of the hardest working dudes I’ve ever met,” Clark says. “We share the passion to take the extra step.”
Basaker shares a similar sentiment. “We work really well together because we think the same. [Clark] has an amazing work ethic,” he says. Simmering in the background was the idea of a future partnership. So, when the Lake Elmo location of No Neck Tony’s was listed for sale in 2023, they made their shared vision a reality.
With keys in hand, the transformation of the space began earlier this year. Marma officially opened to the public on April 10. “[No Neck Tony’s] put a lot into that place, so we only had to retrofit for what we wanted it to look and feel like,” Clark says.
Clark describes Marma’s vibe as “swanky with modern elements and timeless motifs.” The floor is now adorned with elegant, black herringbone tile, and the high ceilings make the space seem larger. Oversized leather bar stools offer elevated comfort while unique lighting, adjusted from gold to blue as the evening progresses, adds to the ambiance. And on
warm summer evenings, a garage door opens to a spacious patio.
When deciding on a name, the duo wanted something simple, modern and unique. Although Marma was born as a blend of the duo’s first names, it also means “essence” in Sanskrit, which resonates as well.
Marma prides itself on a globally influenced cuisine, with the restaurant still embodying the essence of the
East Metro eateries Basaker and Clark grew up in.
The menu features both classics and comfort foods. From Latin and Asian to Mediterranean fare, guests can graze on delicacies like swordfish with a red curry sauce and cabbage slaw or comfort dishes like Thai chili noodles and a classic all-American burger (Marma’s take includes Gouda, bacon, dijon aioli, pickled onion and tomato dill relish).
While certainly not the only option, seafood takes center stage on Marma’s menu, with starters like ceviche, tuna tartare and shrimp fritters, and entrees that include scallops served with pea purée, crispy pork belly, balsamic reduction, chives and roasted beets.
Basaker says the ribeye is his favorite menu item; it’s made with a tangy, herbaceous chimmichurri sauce with beurre blanc, served with potatoes and

topped with a fresh watermelon salsa. “We wanted composed entrees and layered flavors,” Clark says. “It can be a date night spot, but if you’re rolling through, we have something for you too.”
Clark’s experience with mixology and pairings ensures a wide scope of drink options. The bar boasts nuanced flavor profiles, seasonal offerings and locally sourced ingredients, as well as a rotating wine list. Brightly colored cocktails grab guests’ attention, but the unique flavors will keep them coming back for more. “We make our own syrups,” Clark says. “We are very strategic about colors, bright ingredients that are really engaging and pop, but they all have intention and a place on the menu.”
Clark and Basaker both expressed their excitement for this fresh start in an up-and-coming community. “ I didn’t realize how strong the potential was in Lake Elmo,” Clark says. “It was exploding with growth, and it needed more options, so it kind of just came together for all the right reasons.”

STILLWATER HARVEST FEST
Let the gourd times roll at this family-friendly seasonal celebration.
GET READY for a smashing good time this autumn at the Stillwater Harvest Fest. Promoted as the Midwest’s premier giant pumpkin festival, the downtown Stillwater event boasts an incredible lineup of pumpkin-centered activities, including a weigh off, pumpkin drop and pumpkin regatta.
The festivities will go from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. October 12 and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. October 13 with live music, food trucks, a vendor market, a beer and wine garden, kids activities (including an inflatable park, costume parade and kids’ pedal tractor pull), a pie eating contest and chili cook off.
The Giant Pumpkin Weigh Off will happen October 12; it’s a tradition that has consistently put the celebration on the map for competitive pumpkins, with growers traveling from across the Midwest to participate. “To come see pumpkins that are 2,000 pounds is pretty incredible to see,” says event coordinator Cassie McLemore. “You can’t really imagine it until you see it.”
At 5:30 p.m. both days, families can enjoy watching huge pumpkins hurtle to the ground from a 100-foot crane. And at 2 p.m. October 13, don’t miss the pumpkin regatta on the St. Croix River. “They’re really fun, special events that people enjoy,” McLemore says. “I mean, how can you not enjoy watching somebody paddle a giant pumpkin down the river?”
Stillwater Harvest Fest is organized by Summer Tuesdays and is free to the public, with a free shuttle available from Stillwater Middle School and Cub Foods Corporate. —Zoe Yates

Hats Off to You
Award-winning photos capture downtown Stillwater in color.
In August 2023, Stillwater residents gathered downtown to recreate a photo from the 1901 Stillwater Street Fair. During the recreation, Stillwater local Jerry Weise snapped Street Dance, a picture of a mother and daughter. Weise says he likes how the subjects’ faces aren’t visible in the image. “It makes it easier for the viewer to put themselves in the picture,” he says.
In Early Morning Coffee, Wiese says he was drawn to the light, shadow and color of the background while on a walk around downtown Stillwater. He framed the shot and waited for someone to walk into the scene. —Findlay Drabant
