The food, the conversation, the laughter—not so much the weather—made for a lovely evening for our annual farm-to-table dinner with Local Effort Cooperative and music from the talented chriskoza. We celebrate the seasons and the blessings we receive via delicious cuisine.

Cheers!

Today’s Between 2 Urns guest St. Paul resident, Marc Heu . Marc Heu Patisserie Paris has a story shaped by resilience, reinvention, and a lifelong love of pastry. Born in France to Laotian refugee parents and raised in the jungles of French Guiana, Marc’s early life was far from traditional—but it’s where his passion for baking began. Though he was steered toward medicine, a turning point brought him to Minnesota, where he rediscovered his dream. Trained at the prestigious École Lenôtre in Paris, Marc honed his craft before returning to Saint Paul to open Marc Heu Pâtisserie Paris. Today, he shares world-class French pastry with the community that helped him build his new home.
