TWO GUYS FOOD GROUP DEBUTS FIRST PRODUCT ‘TWO GUYS JERSEY TOMATO SAUCE’ New All-Natural Sauce Offering Customers A Way to Enjoy Delicious Jersey Tomatoes Year Round, Recommended by Whom You Know

Two Guys Food Group announced the debut of its first product, Two Guys Jersey Tomato Sauce, which packages local New Jersey tomatoes, described as epic in taste, to consumers in New York and New Jersey. In addition to the fresh taste, Two Guys Jersey Tomato Sauce is made with all-natural, flavorful ingredients with nutritional benefits like low in sodium, gluten-free, no added sugar and a great source for Vitamins A & C , which set it apart from other name brands.

Two Guys founders, CEO Scott Stark and President David Stoff, are New Jersey natives who met studying at the University of Massachusetts and formed a close friendship. After graduation the two set out on different career paths, only to end up together after five years. Scott started a wholesale produce business, bringing local New Jersey farmers’ products to distributors; while David worked in magazine in publishing, first at Eats Magazine followed by Off Campus 101, bringing college students a guide to dining. Both self proclaimed foodies, they discovered that flavorful New Jersey tomatoes can only be enjoyed for three months out of the year. This was unacceptable to them and they headed to the kitchen to see what they could come up with. After testing several recipes in David’s small Manhattan kitchen, the idea for Two Guys Jersey Tomato Sauce was born.

‘Our mission was to extend the New Jersey Tomato season and make the freshest, healthiest tomato sauce around,’ said David Stoff. ‘Most National brands are high in sodium and sugar and we wanted to create a sauce that is not only delicious, but offers nutritional benefits as well.’

‘Tomatoes are naturally flavorful on their own and they do not need extra salt, sugar and other additives to make them taste better,’ said Scott Stark. ‘My Father is diabetic, and it was important to me to create a delicious, gluten-free, low sodium and no sugar added sauce that he can enjoy.’

In order for a product to become ‘Certified Jersey Fresh,’ 60% of the ingredients must come from New Jersey. Jersey Tomatoes are far superior then others because they acquire their wondrous taste and texture from the soil and climatic conditions of central and southern New Jersey. The recipe consists of whole and/or crushed Jersey tomatoes, imported Italian olive oil, onion, garlic, basil, sea salt, oregano and black pepper.

Peachy's Pantry Panel put this to the test, and they said:

I was excited to receive Two Guys Jersey Tomato Sauce-from the moment I opened the package and noticed the great presentation, I was enticed to try it. Minutes later I had pasta boiling and the sauce hearing up. The true quality of the ingredients you can witness and smell right as you open the jar. And who has time to make real tomato sauce? This is perfect for those of us who are so busy in Manhattan. The end result: Two Guys tomato sauce was excellent, you could taste fresh tomatoes and the garlic. Very good and I am already recommending this at cocktail parties! I love it.

Two Guys Jersey Tomato Sauce is Jersey fresh, all natural and gives great sources of Vitamins A and C. I like the facts that it is made with whole and/or crushed Jersey tomatoes, fresh onions, fresh garlic, imported Italian olive oil, fresh basil, sea salt, fresh oregano and black pepper. The tomatoes are so pure and the acidity level is very low making it a ‘hit’ with anyone who might have acid reflux concerns. Just one half cup serving of this Two Guys Jersey Tomato Sauce gives you only 4% of your daily fat. Also the same amount of this delicious sauce is only 60 calories while only containing 8% of your daily sodium intake. It’s nice to know of and be able to partake in this local product which is available in the tri-states of New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. I love the great taste and wholesomeness of this delectable new product. Thanks Two Guys for bringing this to our world!

“Two Guys Jersey Tomato Sauce” tastes deliciously fresh. Jersey tomatoes are one of the best in the country because of the climatic conditions. These crushed Jersey tomatoes are mixed with Italian olive oil, onion, garlic, basil, sea salt, oregano and black pepper. The result is fantastic, a hearty flavorful sauce. There is no sugar added to this sauce, so you know that the flavor is natural and healthy. It is great to find a product that is made so close to home. I tried this sauce with a little pasta; I did not need to add anything. It tasted fresh and homemade. As I always run short on time to prepare dinner, it is a godsend to be able to have a sauce that requires no work, yet tastes wonderfully homemade.

Two Guys Tomato Sauce has to be one of the best tasting sauces I have ever had! YUM! I love that this sauce is all-natural and fresh tasting. Low sodium, gluten-free, and no sugar added - - AMEN! They really try to focus on giving you the great taste of tomatoes all year long without the extra nonsense. I used it tonight in my pasta and I swear it tasted so fresh I couldn't believe that it had come out of a bottle. I will be using Two Guys Tomato Sauce from here on out without a doubt especially since they don't add unnecessary products to their sauce.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
