No one really calls Marian Harris, founder and president of PARTNERS, the Cracker Queen, but they certainly could. After all, Marian has been cooking and baking since she was a young child – both for fun and professionally as the owner of two successful restaurants – and she has made making crackers her life's work since 1992. Every unique
flavor, every delicious recipe and every artisan cracker, crispy cookie and gourmet bag of granola PARTNERS offers starts as an idea of Marian's. In fact, she still carries out all of the company's research and development and bakes many of her test batches at home -- much to the delight of her husband Tom! Marian has conceived, created and consumed tens of thousands of crackers in her lifetime, and if that doesn't qualify someone for cracker royalty, well then nothing will.
