Join Bill with his guest Joe Gallagher Jr. Joe also known as Chef Giuseppe, is the founder of Apastioli Specialty Foods and the author of From Bars to Jars: A Saucy Redemption Story. After hitting rock bottom and finding faith, Joe turned his life around—starting with a single jar of homemade sauce and a walk into a Charleston Piggly Wiggly. What he discovered wasn’t just personal redemption, but a hidden demand across the South: people were craving real, authentic Italian food with integrity.
Apastioli isn’t just a brand—it’s a movement. Rooted in tradition, driven by purpose, and built from scratch in a region where quality Italian products were nearly impossible to find, Joe has managed to disrupt the Southern grocery aisle with nothing but grit, grace, and an unforgettable red sauce. His journey from addiction to entrepreneurship has captivated thousands, and now he’s scaling up to meet the growing demand from major retailers hungry for what Apastioli is bringing to the table.
For Lowcountry Revolutionaries, Joe brings the raw, unfiltered story of second chances, local food innovation, and faith-fueled rebellion against the odds.
