YO PITTS! FOODS As a native New Yorker, Tom Pitts grew up believing that anything was possible in New York. His natural business acumen started at a young age. During his education and career, he was driven to create and build. He found success in a myriad of industries, with a commitment to marketing as his mainstay. Tom received a patent for a soap product titled Soapscense – an all-natural soap company. Sourcing his ingredients led him to upstate New York, where he discovered tasteful, allnatural jams and spreads. This led to an epiphany and the birth of Yo Pitts! Foods, an all-naturalcondiment line. He now has a full line of 3 ketchup and 10 mustard flavors which are featured in several Taste NY locations and on ShopTasteNY.com.
