About
apa Tony's Hot Sauce specializes in gourmet sauces made with fresh ingredients, some of which are organic and locally sourced. Our four delicious flavors include: Garlic Habanero, Mango Habanero, Ghostly Garlic (roasted garlic & Ghost Peppers) & Scorpion's Kiss (strawberry & Scorpion Peppers). Papa Tony's was created in New Orleans at the beginning of 2021, when our founder Tony Wilson and his wife used the lock down to grow closer as a family through cooking and experimenting with new dishes. One night while making Carne Asada tacos, Tony decided to make a homemade Garlic and Mango Habanero hot sauce. The final product was absolutely delicious and after posting the creation to social media, his followers began to inquire about purchasing the remaining bottles. They decided to lean into the idea and began bottling and selling the sauce at a rapid pace, selling over 300 bottles in the first month!

Manager
I am the owner of Papa Tony’s Hot Sauce. Prior to the pandemic I worked for 11 years with at risk youth through non profits and teaching. The pandemic allowed me to refocus my professional efforts to my real passion, food. I became a “pandemic foodie,” watching various cooking videos, more specifically videos of people processing peppers for sauces and salsas. One evening I decided to make a Garlic and Mango Habanero hot sauce for dinner that was very delicious. I posted the creation to social media to which my followers began to inquire about purchasing the product. I decided to lean into the idea and began bottling and selling hot sauce at a rapid pace, selling 300 bottles in the first month. I am also a mental health advocate, where I organize a social group “Rize of the Kings” which conducts mental health support groups for Black men.
