nearly one hundred years after they ran the first travers at saratoga springs , they ran another on august 17th 1963 . red smith , one of america’s great sports writers , never let his readers forget the historical weight of a moment so he didn’t let the milestone century go unnoticed . in his syndicated column about the 1963 travers , he quoted liberally from an 1863 article in the spirit of the times , one of the most popular racing publications of its day . in the span of smith’s article , he manages to take a subtle jab at the attire of saratoga patrons , find ‘comfortable assurance’ that the complaints of a 1963 railbird echoed a similar criticism one - hundred years prior , and , of course , provide a stellar account of that year’s travers .

it was the 94th running of the travers stakes , oldest horse race in the united states , and they were saying that never since kentucky won the first travers in 1864 had there been a field like this . they could be right , too , for the six starters included the first three finishers in the kentucky derby , the first three in the preakness , and the first three in the belmont stakes .
chris carroll took over from douglas as managing partner in 2001 but the big generational change was the ascension of andrew lilley to the role in 2010 : it had previously been unusual to see a non - corporate partner in such a prominent role at travers . an employment lawyer , lilley’s tenure saw a lot more soft - cultural initiatives at the firm . carroll became senior partner and was charged with continuing to cultivate travers’ relationships overseas .

the rest of us chorus . but perhaps we need to shout something else . perhaps . a swanky office refurb and a new website are both signs of change , but it ' s more evolution than revolution . co - head of grad recruitment dan reavill tells us : “we ' ve had a top to bottom revamp which has given us all a real boost . as for the office : we could have moved , but we really like our location so chose to refurbish it – the smithfield site feels important to the travers smith culture . ” what do trainees think of that culture ? interviewees felt the vibes were more “relaxed” than expected . “people joke around all the time . well , not when it ' s busy – you don ' t want to be that guy . ”

travers smith is a familiar name in london’s legal market , having graced the city with its presence for more than 150 years . though it is known to have had a number of merger offers from other firms it has demonstrated a strong desire to remain independent . it maintains a mid - size office in london , and a paris office remains its only international outpost ( a small german office , opened in 2001 , lasted five years before closing ) . despite its small size the paris office has been a source of influential partners , including current managing partner david patient , who set up the office in 1999 .
but as us firms in london continue to make waves with their billion - dollar deals and big - name hires it has been important for city - based firms such as macfarlanes , travers and slaughter and may to stand out and prove they can take on deals with us law aspects .
one of eight partners in the firm’s dedicated private equity and m & a team , croke qualified at travers in 2001 and moved up into partnership seven years later . the team has remained largely unchanged throughout those years , with all but two of the eight training and becoming partners at the firm .
travers smith ' s reputation for carrying out ' top - quality work ' on behalf of ' first - class clients ' certainly caught the attention of its current trainee cohort . the firm made a good first impression during the recruitment process , where the employees ' demonstrated a down - to - earth and inclusive attitude ' and the interviewers asked ' interesting and thought - provoking questions ' . meanwhile , the ' great vacation scheme was the deciding factor ' for one trainee , with a separate respondent adding ' the time and effort invested in the vacation scheme students assured me that the training would be equally as good ' . training contract highlights have included ' working as part of a very small team on a front - page merger ' and ' attending a client signing in the walkie talkie building ' . the ' international focus ' is praised : the paris office is ' a little gem ' and a potential secondment destination , but beyond this the firm doesn ' t have a ' sprawling international network dragging it down ' . back in london , there are complaints about the ' the lack of a proper gym ' as the current one is ' very small ' . there is a ' collegiate working environment ' at travers smith , and colleagues are ' very friendly , clever and welcoming people ' . this year , the firm is a triple lex 100 winner , in the salary , social life and friendliness sections . we hear that ' certain parts of the firm can come across as old - fashioned ' , and ' decisions that affect trainees are sometimes made by senior members of the firm without consultation ' . yet the ' room - sharing system ' demonstrates the ' approachability of partners ' , who ' go out of their way to make sure you know the context of the work you are doing ' . for a ' wide range of opportunities ' at a ' fiercely independent firm ' renowned for ' excellent training ' , apply to travers smith .
before post time for the first travers — the stake was begun at saratoga’s second meeting in 1864 — the horse kentucky walked as though sore . to loosen him up for the ‘dash of a mile and three - quarters , ’ his trainer sent him out for a four - mile gallop . he won .
travers receives another 1 , 000 direct training contract applications each year . the application process is broadly similar to that of the vac scheme : applicants submit an initial form , attend a partner interview , then another , this time with co - heads of graduate recruitment emily clark and dan reavill . the first lasts around 45 minutes , while the second is an hour long .
some things aren ' t changing though : for instance , travers remains strongly against any mergers . “we ' re happy bedding down in london with one smaller office in paris ,
a source told us .
we ' re one of the oldest firms in london and this is what ' s best for us . ” however , this doesn’t mean travers has closed its borders to international work . far from it . close working relationships with over 100 firms around the globe mean it ' s anything but isolated . in the wake of brexit we were told that “it might be good to be known as a firm in a distinct jurisdiction outside the eu , plus we ' re going to build on our relationships with new york firms in particular . ”
the 1963 travers brought together the four horses who filled out the top three slots in that year’s 3 - year - old classics . kentucky derby and belmont winner chateaugay and preakness victor candy spots would match - up against never bend ( 2nd in the kentucky derby and 3rd in the preakness ) and choker ( 3rd in the belmont ) . the other two entries who filled the six horse field were afterthoughts prior to the race , . as is the case sometimes with racing , the much heralded re - match flopped , none of the big four fired . the “other two” finished first and second . crewman , called a “notorious quitter” by one newsman , won the 1963 travers at odds of 20 - 1 and hot dust at 19 - 1 came in second .
whatever travers is doing it seems to be working , as the chambers uk rankings show . the large corporate department is top - ranked for mid - market work , as well as being recognised for high - end work . other rankings come for transactional and finance - related areas like capital markets , private equity , financial services , and banking and finance , and for non - corporate practices like litigation and real estate .
another point we already touched on : the office refurb . “before there was dark wood and green carpet everywhere ,
said one trainee .
now it ' s all white and glass and there ' s a new canteen downstairs , which is great as used to be a dank room in the basement . it ' s gone from bunker to bistro ! ” there ' s one sacred aspect of the set - up that will remain the same : the room - sharing system . each trainee sits in a room with a junior associate , a senior associate and a partner . an interviewee said : “it fosters a friendly atmosphere . you get to have banter and enjoy yourself . ” speaking of which : travers has a lively social scene . on thursday and friday evenings people can be found in the bishops finger , travers ' perennial haunt . there are also small lunchtime concerts thanks to a new firm initiative called ' sound smith ' – “students from the guildhall school of music come in and play every few months . ” there ' s also a themed christmas party .
a few years ago it was masquerade and there were prizes for the best dressed , ” one interviewee recalled . we were pleased to hear a touch of tradition remains : at the event first - year trainees are presented with personalised leather briefcases as a rite of passage .
in the meantime croke seems to have her hands full acting for an array of uk , pan - european and global clients including travel management business atpi . she led on atpi’s acquisition of specialist company griffin global in 2014 , with the deal providing atpi with expertise in the energy industry . energy issues are of particular interest to croke , who is one of several travers partners tasked with providing advice to businesses on the carbon reduction scheme .
travers ' busy lawyers can now capitalise on one new policy the firm has introduced : an agile working scheme which allows them to work from home ( more on this below ) . in the office , lawyers can also get involved in a range of well - being initiatives . for example , one recent health week saw a buddhist monk come in to talk about ' mindfulness ' and there are yoga classes too ( no doubt helping to relieve any city stress ) .
the firm was slow to embrace professionalisation of business services , with a business development function only really set up in 2007 . however , it has made real efforts in recent years to shake off its reputation as conservative and traditional . in particular , it has managed to recruit a considerably more diverse trainee intake than it did only a few years ago – though a distinct preference for certain universities and subjects is still evident . female representation , particularly at partner level , has also been a problem but an all - female promotions round in 2017 suggests that travers is heading in the right direction .
there is nothing better then the anticipation that comes before a big race day . in 1963 , the travers reunion of the 3 - year - old spring classic stars was spoiled by a colt named crewman . in 2011 , it appears the big day might get washed out by a hurricane named irene . i’ll be out of town and off the east coast this weekend , following the races ( and the weather ) on my phone and computer . for those who are heading to the spa , i hope mother nature can work out a deal with the racing gods before saturday . otherwise , it looks like man and beast will be in for quite a day . good luck !
most trainees in real estate immerse themselves in non - contentious work , though there ' s also room for one trainee in real estate litigation . the department chiefly advises investment funds on the acquisition and management of properties . real estate funds like ancala partners and greenacre capital make up the bulk of the client list . the latter recently came to travers for advice on the acquisition of a 90 - acre site in thanet , kent . many matters revolve around purchasing hotels , student accommodation and care homes . a recent doozy saw the firm help qatari project developer btc acquire bow street magistrates ' court and police station in covent garden ( the plan is to turn it into a swanky £130 million boutique hotel ) . one insider described
working on the development of a shopping centre which will have shops ranging from john lewis to millie ' s cookies – each needs a lease and i ' ve done the first draft of those and been to meetings with the developer . ”
we promised you more on the firm ' s new agile working policy , so here it is : travers now allows its qualified lawyers to work when and where they want – within reason . the policy does not automatically apply to trainees : they have to show “a compelling reason for it . ” our interviewees didn ' t mind : “it ' s fair because we ' re here to train , so it wouldn ' t make sense if i was at home every friday . ” a typical working day for a trainee runs from 9am to 7pm , although in corporate it can be
swings and roundabouts
and trainees can work till 9pm or 10pm at times . in one extreme case , a trainee reported “leaving at 10am the next morning .
but : weekend working is rare and there ' s time off in lieu . plus , if you stay after 8pm you can order in with deliveroo and there are taxis home if you work till after 9pm .
at any one time up to 12 trainees call travers ' corporate group home ; they sit in either corporate finance or private equity sub - teams . corporate junkies can even do a seat in one and then go on to do six months in the other . the private equity sub - team specialises in managing transactions for private equity houses . a perusal of the client list shows the firm acts for many mid - sized uk private equity houses like bridgepoint ( total assets over €20 billion ) 3i ( total assets £13 . 5 billion ) , silverfleet ( total assets €1 . 6 billion ) and lyceum capital ( total assets £800 million ) . in the 2015 / 16 financial year the firm advised on £8 billion of private equity - backed transactions , with one of the biggest being bridgepoint ' s £835 million sale of oasis dental care . the team also advised parkdean resorts ( the largest holiday park business in britain ) on its £1 . 35 billion acquisition by canadian private equity firm onex . typical trainee tasks include “reviewing certification notes and prospectuses , drafting ancillary documents and writing due diligence reports for acquisitions . it doesn ' t sound exciting but it ' s a great way to work directly with clients and get to know the company they ' re buying . ”

marzetti prospered . students from nearby the ohio state university helped the first restaurant succeed in its early years . marzetti became known for her various salad dressings , especially her coleslaw and french versions . it is unclear when she began selling the dressings to her customers , but by 1947 , the second floor of the restaurant had become a factory dedicated to producing the dressings for sale in stores across ohio . in 1955 , marzetti opened a production facility for the dressings on indianola avenue in columbus , allowing the t . marzetti company to produce even more dressing .

for 13 of the nearly 18 years i worked for thet . marzetti company , it was a great family oriented , and work family oriented company to work for until a new ceo was named to elevate the company from a one billion dollar company to a five billion dollar company and started discrediting any persons who had been with the company for more than a decde in lieu of new talent that did not understand our core business and found ways to eliminate anyone who would dare try to maintain a healthy service level as the core changes to the business were being implemented . i understand having a healthy bottom line and growing stock value , i just feel you do to have to lose your car who built the business to move forward into higher growth .
t . marzetti was a great place to work . i learned a lot about fixed assets and inventory . the month end process was challenging , however , also taught me time management . great place .
in 2000 , t . marzetti , a packaged food company that is part of the lancaster colony corporation , bought the company for more than $ 40 million . it sells 12 varieties of sister schubert’s products , including an orange yeast roll with bits of orange peel , in outlets nationwide , including wal - mart and sam’s club . patricia and george barnes remain as vice president for research and development and vice president for operations , respectively .

frozen food age , february 2001 , p . 36 .
“we didn’t gee and haw together at first , ” mrs . barnes recalled of her early tenure with the company , which also sells the new york brand of texas toast and the romanoff brand of caviar . “they talked about butter - flavored oil and a few other things i wouldn’t have , ” she continued . “but they saw the light . ”
in 1942 the older marzetti restaurant closed and the operation consolidated in the remaining location . the demand for marzetti ' s dressings grew so strong that the upstairs kitchen turned into a small - scale factory . the first product bottled for sale outside the restaurant was marzetti ' s original slaw dressing in 1947 . the person behind the slaw recipe , however , was not teresa marzetti or even of italian heritage , but a young african american woman named katherine hill , whose tenure with the company would last nearly 70 years .
marzetti purchases mamma bella foods , a california frozen bread manufacturer and category leader west of denver ; marzetti surpasses leader pepperidge farm in the frozen bread category , capturing 27 . 1 percent of the market .
the company has favoritism . seems like the management needs to hire the right skills instead of people they know . they have great employees trying to do the right thing . i hope the company focuses on their culture to fix some of their problems .
act with integrity : strive to do “the right thing” at all times , and uphold the values and principles of our company’s heritage .
everyday , marzetti ' s quality products are found on the dinner tables of millions of consumers , as well as in well - known restaurant chains across the country , a fitting tribute to teresa marzetti ' s pioneering columbus restaurant .
a lot of favoritism among bosses they don ' t respect worker . o pinion although the people who work beside you o . a daily base are wonderful
we will start a new place and serve good food . at a profit if we can , at a loss if we must , but we will serve good food .
with this short notation on a scrap of paper , teresa marzetti set the tone for the company that bears her name .
marzetti’s became a local favorite and grew to become a four star restaurant as well as one of the finest dining experiences in the midwest .
in 1896 , italian immigrant teresa marzetti arrived in the united states of america . that same year , marzetti established an italian restaurant in columbus , ohio near the ohio state university campus at 10th avenue and north high street . this restaurant closed in 1942 , but another restaurant , which had opened in 1919 , remained in operation until 1940 . in 1940 , the third marzetti restaurant opened cross from the statehouse on broad street . it closed in 1972 , when teresa marzetti died . before opening the original restaurant , marzetti wrote ,
we will start a new place and serve good food . at a profit if we can , at a loss if we must , but we will serve good food .
there is very poor communication from the management team . some workers who should be terminated will probably never be terminated . marzetti lacks training programs .

my views are just that , mine . i do not feel that my comments on the company will have any bearing . this should not be something that i have to fill out
very much a who you know workplace . clicks are very common . if your in one that includes management , your set for life . if someone in management doesn ' t like you , watch out , you ' ll get all the hard orders and jobs and frequently get shafted in some way . and the new pres is all about the bottom dollar . so don ' t expect overtime or any company outing or activities that cost $ if you can deal with all that it ' s a decent place to work with the pay you make .
it all began in 1896 , when young teresa marzetti arrived in the united states from florence , italy , and started her small italian restaurant in columbus , ohio .
canned biscuit and roll dough was invented in the south in 1931 , when lively willoughby of louisville , ky . , at ballard & ballard company , patented the pressurized foil sleeve process that pillsbury later merchandised .
be positive : you can make it happen . don’t focus on problems ; focus on opportunities to make things better . every one of us has an important role in creating loyal and satisfied customers and consumers .
these products includes many of america ' s favorites , like marzetti ® salad dressings and dips , new york bakery ® frozen breads and sister schubert ' s ® homemade rolls .
update your systems ! working with software from the 90 ' s makes processing work quickly and / or correct . invest in some money and actually have a decent it department . not someone that yells at you for having a computer issue . listen to your employees . don ' t go off what others tell you . their stories may not be the truth as if they maybe helping their friend out to get another coworker in trouble . get rid of the employee ( s ) that have been there so long that don ' t even know how to do their job yet . get rid of the one ( s ) that always call off on the first day of the month just because they don ' t know to work excel or do monthly closing reports . get rid of the employee ( s ) that always con other workers ( such as their friends ) to do their work for them . get rid of the employee ( s ) that can ' t stay caught up in their work having others always helping them get caught up . if after 17 years they can ' t do it . it ' s time to go ! ! don ' t be afraid , fire them ! this cause more work for other team members and stress .
the t . marzetti company is proud to showcase the march 2018 relaunch of caesar cardini’s® dressings and croutons . the packaging has been updated to reflect the brand’s heritage as the original caesar dressing : ‘where the caesar salad got its name’ . there are also two new amazing caesar dressing offerings – three cheese caesar and caesar vinaigrette . we’re also excited to feature new offerings for the flatout brand , which include new flavors and a line of 60 calorie wraps . in the coming months there will be exciting news on the girard’s brand of premium dressings . please stop by our booth for more information on all of these brands .
go back to what made this company great , family environment , caring about people . your stock is up and your employees are down . rethink your position , big companies like small companies can also fall to social media .
our rich foodservice heritage dates all the way back to 1896 when italian immigrant teresa marzetti opened her first restaurant in columbus , ohio . she knew then what we still believe today : great tasting food is what patrons remember and come back for . count on marzetti® foodservice for quality dressings , frozen pasta and breads , along with the innovative ideas to set your menu apart .
respect each other : we are all a valuable part of marzetti . it takes all of us to create loyal customers and consumers . respect that , and respect each other’s contributions to our success .
continuous improvement : every one of us can make our workplace and processes better . there is always room for improvement in any process . you are the expert in your area . if you think there is a better way to do something , speak up , let your team know and let your supervisor know . the company is dedicated to the principles of work environment , commitment , integrity and communication . our unified community is directed toward achieving company goals and recognizing the contributions of our associates .
in 1961 , several small glass and related housewares manufacturing companies combined to form lancaster colony corporation . two years later , the board of directors initiated a strategy to reward shareholders through annual dividend increases and the company has paid consecutive quarterly dividends since 1963 .
it all began in 1896 when young teresa marzetti and her husband joseph arrived in the united states from florence , italy , and started her small italian restaurant in columbus , ohio . they were working for joseph ' s father , prominent italian real - estate developer , retail merchant and confectioner john marzetti . after the death of john in 1899 and joseph in 1911 , teresa was left to run the restaurant on her own . marzetti ' s became a local favorite especially among the ohio state university students , and grew to become a four star restaurant as well as one of the finest dining experiences in the midwest .
mr . outlaw tinkered with the formula . he replaced the lard with vegetable shortening . he moved the products to the freezer case . mr . outlaw didn’t have a sister schubert personality to lead the sales charge . but he had good biscuits .
“libba is a crackerjack cook , ” mr . constantine , a fourth - generation mobilian , said of the woman he married in 2003 , “and i’ve learned how , too . but we’re sticking with marshall’s . we can’t do biscuits any better . ”
if you want a well paying job thats fast paced and a over all great job marzetti is the place to apply at . you feel like a part of a team / family here . thats hard to find .
i need a little more money and something that isn ' t a weekend shift . this is an amazing place to work and i love it . however , the shift and the money is putting a strain on my family as my wife is unable to work right now . i just need something more .
acquisitions to marzetti helped to fuel the growth of the specialty food group ' s contribution to the lancaster colony ' s balance sheet . in 2000 the retail portion of specialty foods accounted for 22 percent of all revenues , and foodservice sales accounted for another 20 percent . in 2002 those numbers grew to 27 percent and 24 percent , respectively . with the group continuing to develop new branded products and expand on its existing channels of distribution , there was every reason to expect marzetti to enjoy even stronger growth in the foreseeable future .
“we keep the dough cooled , to prevent the baking powder from activating , and we don’t beat the dough up , ” mr . dueitt said . “we mix slow . we use a blend of cake flour and bread flour for softness and rise . and we still do lots of the work by hand . ”
want to know where you can find our delicious dressings , dips , croutons and salad toppings ? choose from the information below and we ' ll show you . depending on your interest , you ' ll find marzetti® products in the refrigerated produce section or salad dressings aisle .
management puts pressure on supervisors to perform certain task , but they shackle your hands by limiting your control . they expect you to work so hard ( up to 7 days ) with few compensations outside of your normal salary . if you do your job on time they ask why couldn ' t you do more since you finished on time .
customers particularly enjoyed teresa’s salad dressings and were often seen leaving the restaurant with bottles of their favorites . by 1955 , the dressings had become so renowned that the upstairs of the restaurant became a full - scale factory . thus the marzetti brand of salad dressings found its way into grocery stores throughout ohio .
“i believe in sister schubert , ” ms . jones said of the brand of frozen yeast rolls she serves at chicken - and - dressing - style family dinners that recall her deep south youth . “i was raised to bake , but i don’t feel too guilty about using her yeast rolls . i liked them before i even knew she’s from alabama , like my grandmother . ”
“we were having some sort of breakfast meeting at the magazine , ” she said . “i told judy feagin , in the test kitchen , that i loved the rolls she served . and she said , in this rich , beautiful alabama accent : ‘you mean to tell me you haven’t met sister yet ? if you like those , you need to make the acquaintance of sister . ’ ”
customers particularly enjoyed teresa ' s creamy coleslaw and french dressings and were often seen leaving the restaurant with bottles of their freshly made favorites . by 1955 , the dressings had become so renowned that the upstairs of the restaurant became a full - scale factory . thus the marzetti brand of salad dressings found its way into grocery stores throughout ohio .
each round pan of sister schubert’s rolls comes with a back story . and that story has played well in the press . ( in recent developments , mrs . barnes has financed a foster - care home in gorlovka , ukraine , and written a book , “cast your bread upon the waters , ” which she will self - publish this summer . ) but word - of - mouth has spurred much of the company’s growth .
i worked there for almost 16 years . . . the main reason was the great pay . i was fired because they got all new management and were and still are out to get rid of all the employee that have been there so long . they fired all the supervisor that had been there for more then 30 years and worked hard . it is union there for the employees but the new management is working at getting rid of the union employees . . it ' s very sad to see a company want to get rid of the people that have been there so long working hard and many hours .

the job pays good , not crazy about the hours , but pays good nonetheless . the 12 hour shift gets old really fast . also , most of the people are not bad to work around .
amazing place to work . hard to get off night shift because no one ever leaves . benefits were great and cheap . they actually care about there employees . pizza parties once a month , cookouts for holidays . incentives to go over quota . every last day of the week for your shift you get to take some dressing home .
i cant begin to explain how difficult it is to stay employed at this place . there ' s a very low lack of leadership and advancement its all politics and the production manager is a complete waste of time
you start your day by changing into your uniform . clock in after changing , get your shift handoff with information on what to expect for your shift . usually the department manager nor the supervisors will address anyone unless there has been a problem and then they assign more work for everyone to try and prevent the problem from happening again . production floor is always chaotic because of a lack of communication and leadership . somehow work still gets completed . it is an overall lack of organization that is so frustrating .
typically take attendance assign employees to there work areas follow schedule flow . working here is very hot in summer typically we works 6 days a week . the hardest part of the job is avoiding mechanical breakdowns . best part is the associates i work with
provided stability for many years now upper management have retired and a new management style is in effect . they have down sized all senior plant management .
right hand doesnt know what the left hand is doing . one person says something another different . was promised opportunity to switch shifts not . been there going on a year and no opportunity to switch shifts or departments . miserable working conditions ; inoperable safety items such as a suction for the spice dust does not work and hasnt for years according to other employees .
they pay you just enough to keep you from leaving . i would recommend this place to most people . if you have good work ethics and insist on doing your job , be prepared to be overworked and singled out . they would rather ask you to do something than try to find the person whose job it really is .
poor management , low morale , bad union , third shift is nessisary but a huge joke , if you are in the union , which they say is mandatory for all hourly , there is no chance in moving to a differant location and little chance of advancment .

great benefits . insurance is good . pays well . vacation and or personal time could be better . flexible working hours . very little overtime .
management in accounting should distribute the workload evenly . too much favoritism to certain employees in the department . if your not part of the click you will be outed . if you make a mistake it ' s almost like you committed a crime . however , if you exceed goals or go above an beyond you get very little recognition compared to making a mistake . has the open concept which is very annoying because you can her others eat , talk , and other distractions . sometimes too much talking goes on and it makes you wonder if they are getting any work done .
the people are friendly and respectful of one another . the pay is above average . the products are very high quality and taste good .
good pay and benefits . decent amount of paid time off . incentive , attendance and safety bonuses . decent easy jobs . people are usually alright
non managers are great folks . pay is fair and benefits are very good compared to previous job .
senior managers , president , vice presidents , most directors only care about profit . very disfunctional hr group and operations groups . there is no consistent treatment of employees if your friends or liked by senior managers or above your safe . if not you just meat for the dogs .

freezer to oven a tray of sister schubert ' s biscuits at r . l . constantines home in mobile , ala .
after his wife died in 1989 , r . l . constantine , an insurance agent in this gulf coast port town , had to fend for himself .
“marshall’s biscuits pretty much saved me during my widower years , ” he said one morning , not long after he pulled a browned tin of buttermilk biscuits from his oven . “those little freezer biscuits , made right here , held me over until i met my new wife . ”
in another corner of the south , shana campbell jones , a 37 - year - old environmental lawyer in norfolk , va . , made a freezer - case confession .
buttermilk biscuits and yeast rolls are among the most fetishized of southern foods . like pit - cooked barbecue and skillet - fried chicken , quick breads , served hot from the oven , are defining dishes of the lexicon .
“a part of the placidity of the south comes from the sense of well - being that follows the heart - and - body - warming consumption of breads fresh from the oven , ” marjorie kinnan rawlings wrote in “cross creek cookery” in 1942 . “we serve cold baker’s bread to our enemies , trusting that they will never impose on our hospitality again . ”
contrary to what traditionalists might want outlanders to believe , though , freezer - case biscuits and rolls , especially par - baked versions that require no more than a quick brown in a hot oven , have been openly and often passionately adopted by southerners with an elastic concept of what constitutes home cooking .
two favored brands , sister schubert’s and marshall’s , are now made under the watchful eye of the same ohio - based corporation . “in the south , every woman has her own recipe for homemade yeast rolls , ” said julia reed , author of “ham biscuits , hostess gowns and other southern specialties , ” out this month in paperback . “i’m not that much of a masochist , ” said ms . reed , a greenville , miss . , native , whose party repertory includes tenderloin - stuffed sister schubert’s rolls .
a cold look at history reveals that the region’s devotion to biscuits and rolls owes a substantial debt to the southerners who conceived , sold and profited from a succession of modern conceits .
today , canned biscuits and rolls remain , for many cooks , untenable cheats . ( jerry clower , a mississippi comedian , called them “whop biscuits , ” a derisive reference to the sound made when a can is whacked against the edge of a kitchen counter . )
and fast - food biscuits , popularized in the 1970s by hardee’s , a chain founded in greenville , n . c . , are more often consumed on the road than in the home .
but par - baked frozen rolls and biscuits , made with care and integrity , have won over a wide spectrum of cooks .
donna florio , a senior writer with southern living in birmingham , ala . , said that the first time she tasted sister schubert’s rolls she thought they were homemade .
in 1989 , patricia barnes , known since childhood as sister , baked 20 pans of rolls for a frozen - foods fair to benefit st . mark’s episcopal church in her southern alabama hometown of troy . ( at the time , mrs . barnes was known to parishioners by her first husband’s surname , schubert ; she has since remarried and taken the last name of her current husband , george barnes . )
mrs . barnes , now 57 , got everything right . she used her grandmother’s recipe . she dipped her parker house - style yeast rolls in real butter . she baked her rolls until done , but not fully browned , and packaged them in round tins . she quickly sold out .
for the 1991 fair , she baked 300 tins . to meet that first big order , she jury - rigged a dough - proofing room by commandeering one of the church’s sunday school classrooms and outfitting it with a space heater . by 1993 , she was employing 20 people at a makeshift bakery in what had been her father’s furniture warehouse .
“i tried to be a truett cathy kind of employer , ” mrs . barnes said , referring to the founder of the fast - food chain chick - fil - a , who , in accord with his christian religious beliefs , decided not to open his stores on sunday . “but we just had too many orders . so i told the ladies they could have church at work . ”

“they sang gospel as they worked , ” mrs . barnes recalled on a recent drive west from troy to the 87 , 000 - square - foot plant she eventually built in luverne , ala . , at the prow of an industrial park , behind the shed where the crenshaw county shrine club stages its annual peanut boil . “and they kept that up until a few years ago , when the safety regulations said everybody needed to wear earplugs . ”
( also in the game are mary b’s , a division of j & j snack foods of pennsauken , n . j . , and , on the high end , callie’s charleston biscuits , a south carolina specialty baker . )
compared with sister schubert’s , marshall’s is venerable . its deep roots in mobile date back to 1924 , when john marshall opened the first in what would become a five - unit chain of electrik maid bake shops .
the specialty of the day at the coffee shop and bakery was lard - rich , buttermilk biscuits , split , toasted with butter and served in a bowl . ( natives of mobile still favor toasted marshall’s biscuits , although they have developed other adaptations , including canapés made by scooping out the crumb and stuffing biscuits with deviled crab . )
by 1960 , mr . marshall had set aside the retail end of his business and begun wholesaling tins of refrigerated par - baked biscuits . he won allegiances across the deep south , but distribution was a problem . marshall’s was in bankruptcy in 1985 when robbie outlaw — scion of the mobile family that grew the morrison’s cafeteria chain to national prominence — purchased it .
patricia barnes founded sister schubert ' s , which makes par - baked rolls .
“flour , salt , baking power , shortening and buttermilk — that’s it , ” kent dueitt , who has been mixing dough for marshall’s since 1977 , said one recent morning . as he spoke , a long , unbroken sheet of dove - white , biscuit - thick dough moved down an assembly line , bound for a hexagonal die cutter and , eventually , a bank of convection ovens .
the scene in saraland — air feathered with flour , rectangular tin pans rattling in the foreground , walk - in convection ovens humming in the background — appears typical for the sort of plant that cranks out more than 500 , 000 biscuits a week .
so do the scenes at other sister schubert’s plants in luverne and horse cave , ky . but the plants also rely upon the hand work associated with home cooking .
stacking buttermilk biscuits at the marshall’s plant one recent morning , 4 to a row , 12 to a pan , petra djurdjevic could have been moving dough from a biscuit board to a baking sheet in her own kitchen .
southern shoppers , it seems , like to know that someone has laid hands on their buttermilk biscuits and yeast rolls . but many prefer that those hands belong to someone else .
a picture caption last wednesday with an article about the popularity of commercial frozen biscuits in the south misidentified the brand shown at r . l . constantine’s home in mobile , ala . they were sister schubert’s , not marshall’s .
