The end is near. We are sending our 2020 graphics to the Safehouse. Tony gave the order, and now we want to give you a final chance to get your favorite graphics. Before we lock these products in the Safehouse, we want to show you where our inspiration comes from at MBT. 

When Henry Hill from Goodfellas has dinner with Pauly and Vinny, he brings bread, peppers with onions, salami, lots of cheese, scotch, red wine, and of course, prosciutto. Prosciutto from the Parma region in Italy, is world-renowned for its delicate and sweet flavor. Here at Made by Tony, we love and embrace prosciutto, hence why it is one of our favorite graphics.

As Tony Soprano and his family gather for Sunday dinner, you know it will be a fun time. Despite the prosciutto and mozz we whip out as we watch the Sopranos, we can see that dinner time is when a family comes together. At Made by Tony, we make these family dinners count!

Vodka shots? No. Vodka Sauce please. The origin of vodka sauce is a much-debated topic among culinary aficionados. What's not debatable is its remarkable flavor. Our Vodka Sauce graphic is one of graphics that will definitely be locked up in the Safehouse. Grab it before it is gone. 

Business bad? Fuck you, pay me. Oh, you had a fire? Fuck you, pay me. Place got hit by lightning, huh? Fuck you, pay me. Work is fun and all, but if you can’t collect it, what’s the point!?

Combine your two favorite things, espressos and martinis, and you now only have one; an espresso martini.  Even better, a MBT graphic with espresso martini on the front. Pour a martini and grab a top before the vodka and espresso is locked away. 

We discussed Vodka Sauce, but get a hello to this — Spicy Rigatoni. Spicy Rigatoni combines vodka sauce flavor with fra diavolo heat. Made famous by Carbone restaurant in NYC. This spicy graphic is also on its way to the 2020 Safehouse. 

Fry some garlic, throw in tomatoes and tomato paste, shove in the sausage and meatballs, add wine, a little sugar, and that’s Clemenza’s sauce recipe. Have you heard of Sauce pizzeria? It is authentic and the real deal. NYC based. Giving back to the community through pizza donations and to first responders. We LOVE Sauce. Sauce LOVES NYC. Join them in giving back to the community and purchase original Sauce x Tony apparel. A percentage of proceeds will be donated to the Sauce GoFundMe. Purchase a Sauce graphic top before it cooks its way to the Safehouse.
