Homemade soup extraordinaire Marie joined Michigan Thyme 9 years ago as the Cafe Kitchen Manager.  "I love the flexibility to be creative with the menu here at Michigan Thyme," states Marie.  "I create new menu items and new soups every week that we feature as specials." 
 
Marie enjoys working with the other members of the Michigan Thyme family - where it is not only a fun place to shop but a fun place to work!
 
Marie brought 30 years experience here after owning three restaurants and managing the kitchen at the Cook Nuclear Plant Visitor Center for eight years before it was closed to visitors after 9/11.
