Joe Sasto returns with big personal news, as he talks about his recent engagement and the story behind the surprise proposal in Mexico City. He discusses his debut cookbook Breaking the Rules, a multi-year passion project that reimagines Italian cuisine and encourages readers to defy culinary tradition. The chef dives into the inspiration and challenges behind launching his frozen pasta line, Ripi, bringing restaurant-quality pasta to the freezer aisle. He reflects on returning to Tournament of Champions, the nerves of competition, and his joy at being recognized as a veteran among fellow chefs. Joe reveals how studying past seasons, embracing the chaos of the randomizer, and evolving his strategy have helped him thrive in the high-stakes arena. He shares how sitting in the judge’s seat on Guy’s Grocery Games sharpened his skills as a competitor and gave him a new perspective on critique and flavor balance.
