Steve Schirripa

A family man with traditional values and an appetite for life, Steve Schirripa, best known for his role as Bobby Baccalieri on the acclaimed HBO series, The Sopranos, created Uncle Steve’s Italian Specialties in 2014 as a tribute to his late mother who made a great sauce, the best sauce in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, per Steve’s childhood friends.

Located in Brooklyn, Uncle Steve’s is an Italian-American family business. Not only is it healthy, the line of tomato sauce is hands down the best tasting jarred sauce on the market, claimed the New York Daily News last year.

In June of 2017, new labels with Steve’s photo are hitting retail shelves nationwide. “When we started this company I wanted to create the best tasting, cleanest products. The sauce wasn’t about me, the guy from The Sopranos, it was about the products. Our customers have requested my picture on the jar repeatedly,” said Schirripa, “so we’ve made the change. I also wanted to change the label because we are now Certified Paleo and it’s important to have gluten free and no sugar added right on the front of every jar. My face is an extra bonus.”

Each 25-ounce glass jar of tomato sauce is produced in small batches using imported organic whole Italian plum tomatoes, vegetables and spices. “Our products are USDA certified organic, gluten free, dairy free, vegan, kosher and contain no added sugar. With no GMOs, no harmful pesticides, and nothing artificial, you can be confident you are feeding your family not only great tasting products, but nourishing them as well.” said Schirripa. “My mother cooked her sauce for many, many hours so the tomatoes were completely broken down. She never used puree and we don’t take any shortcuts either.” Steve Schirripa can be seen Friday nights on CBS’s Blue Bloods as Detective Anthony Abetemarco.

Stuart Taylor, Jr.

Stuart Taylor, Jr. is an author and freelance writer focusing on legal and policy issues and a Brookings Institution nonresident senior fellow. He has coauthored two critically acclaimed books. In October 2012, Richard Sander and Taylor coauthored Mismatch: How Affirmative Action Hurts Students It's Intended to Help, and Why Universities Won't Admit It. In 2007, Taylor and KC Johnson coauthored Until Proven Innocent: Political Correctness and the Shameful Injustices of the Duke Lacrosse Rape Fraud.

Since 1980, Taylor has done reporting and commentary about issues ranging from the biggest Supreme Court cases to race, voting rights, mindlessly excessive criminal penalties, the death penalty, war powers, gerrymandering, guns, polarization, the perceived tensions between civil liberties and national security, torture, campaign finance, education, health care, impeachment, and a wide range of other issues. He has often been called one of the nation's leading legal journalists and has been known for breaking with both liberal and conservative conventional wisdom.

Taylor was a reporter for The New York Times from 1980-1988, covering legal affairs and then the Supreme Court; he wrote commentaries and long features for The American Lawyer, Legal Times and their affiliates from 1989-1997, and for National Journal and Newsweek from 1998 through 2010; he has written (less often) on a freelance basis for numerous publications since 2010. He has also written for The Atlantic, Slate, The New Republic, Harper’s, Reader’s Digest, and other magazines, plus op-eds for The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Los Angeles Times. He has been interviewed on all major television and radio networks. He has taught “Law and the News Media” at Stanford Law School and practices law on occasion.

Taylor graduated from Princeton University in 1970 with an A.B. in History. After working as a reporter for the Baltimore Evening Sun and Sun from 1971-1974, he moved to Harvard Law School, serving as a note editor for the Harvard Law Review and graduating in 1977 with high honors. He also won a Frederick Sheldon Traveling Fellowship, which he used to travel around the world in 1977-1978 while studying freedom of the press in the United Kingdom and Kenya.

Taylor practiced law with Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering, in Washington, D.C., from 1978-1980 before returning to journalism in 1980 by joining the Washington Bureau of The New York Times.

Among those who have praised Mismatch are Judge Richard Posner ("the best researched and most convincing analysis ever done of affirmative action in higher education") and columnists Clarence Page (this book has "caused me to think again" about the affirmative action mismatch problem) and George Will ("This book probably will make constitutional history").

Taylor's journalism honors include the 2009 Northern California Innocence Project Media Award for his work on the Duke lacrosse rape fraud; a 2002 National Headliner Award for best special magazine column on one subject; and a share of The American Lawyer’s National Magazine Award for a March 1990 special issue on the drug war. He was a National Magazine Award finalist in 1993 and 1997 and was nominated by The New York Times for a Pulitzer Prize in 1988.
