THREE (3) Grand Prizes will be awarded (1 Grand Prize for California; 1 Grand Prize for
Florida; 1 Grand Prize for Texas). Prize consists of a private dinner prepared by Chef Joseph
Sasto III (“Sasto”) for winner and up to nine (9) guests** (each of whom must be 21 years of age
or older) and travel between winner’s residence (in applicable state) and location of private
dinner (also in applicable state). Prize also includes a check in the amount of $500 that winner
may use to defray taxes incurred due to acceptance of Grand Prize. Approximate Retail Value:
$1,500.00 – $2,500.00 each. Retail Value of Grand Prize depends on various factors, including
locations of winner’s residence and private dinner as well as actual number of guests.
**In order to accept prize, winner must have at least seven (7) guests attend private dinner.
Should seven (7) or eight (8) guests attend private dinner, no compensation or alternative prize
will be awarded and the approximate retail value of the Grand Prize will be reduced accordingly.
Dinner consists of three (3) courses — appetizer/salad, entrée and dessert — as determined by
Sasto in his sole discretion. DINNER EXCLUDES ALCOHOL BEVERAGES. Dinner will
last approximately five (5) hours.
It is the winner’s sole responsibility to advise Sponsor in writing at time of execution of
Affidavit of Eligibility, Liability Release and Publicity Release (where lawful), as per Rule 4
below, of any dietary restrictions (including allergies and religious restrictions) affecting winner
and/or his/her guests. While Sponsor/Sasto will use commercially reasonable efforts to
accommodate such dietary restrictions, Sponsor and Sasto disclaim any and all liability if they
are unable to do so to the reasonable satisfaction of winner and/or guests. In addition, Sponsor
and Sasto disclaim any and all liability if winner and/or guests conclude that any food/beverages
served at dinner are not to their taste.
To accept Grand Prize, winner must be available to attend private dinner on a date of
Sponsor’s sole choosing between July 15, 2023 and August 31, 2023. The actual date of the
dinner will be provided to winner at time of notification as per Rule 4 below. If winner is
not available on date of private dinner for any reason, Grand Prize will be forfeited
without compensation of any kind and an alternate winner may be selected (time
permitting).
For ground transportation element of Grand Prize, winner and all guests must travel together on
same itinerary. Sponsor will determine private car service/taxi or other provider of ground
transportation in its sole discretion. Ground transportation will begin and end at Grand Prize
winner’s residence. It is the sole responsibility of guests to arrange transportation to/from Grand
Prize winner’s residence. Absent extraordinary circumstances, vehicle will not make any stops
between Grand Prize winner’s residence and venue for private dinner. Winner and guests must
be present at designated time and area at Grand Prize winner’s residence for travel to venue for
private dinner; winner and guests must be present at designated time and area at conclusion of
private dinner for return trip. If winner/guests are not present at such time and area for either leg
of ground transportation, they will be solely responsible for traveling to and/or from (as
applicable) private dinner. Grand Prize winner and guests must wear a safety belt at all times the
vehicle is in operation, refrain from smoking in the vehicle at all times, refrain from interfering
with or harassing the driver of the vehicle as well as complying with all other requirements of
driver/ground transportation provider.
Sasto’s participation is subject to his availability. Should Sasto not be available as intended for
any reason, Sponsor reserves the right without notice to winner or liability of any kind to replace
Sasto with another professional chef of similar credentials/expertise.
Sasto may (or may not) sign autographs or pose for videos/photos (“selfies”) with winner and
guests at his sole discretion; and, should Sasto choose not to do so for any reason, Sponsor shall
not have any liability of any kind.
All costs and expenses not specified in these Official Rules are the Grand Prize winner’s sole
responsibility.
Grand Prize winner and his/her guests understand and agree that attending social gatherings with
persons other than from their own household is inherently dangerous due to the COVID-
19/Coronavirus epidemic/pandemic; and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each assumes
any and all risks of illness or injury which may arise directly or indirectly, in whole or in part,
from attending the private dinner. Without limitation, winner and guests each expressly
acknowledge that it is possible that he/she may contract COVID-19/Coronavirus in conjunction
with attending the private dinner. Winner and guests further understand and agree that Sponsor
and Sasto have not obtained insurance of any kind for them relative to attending the private
dinner. Winner and guests indemnify, release and agree to hold harmless Sponsor and the
management and representation of Joseph Sasto III (as well as Mr. Sasto personally) from any
and all liability in conjunction with attending the private dinner.

foregoing, Grand Prize winner and guests understand and agree that:
(a) Sponsor, Sasto and/or ground transportation provider may require the winner and guests
to practice social distancing, wear a mask, provide proof of a negative COVID-
19/Coronavirus test and/or provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19/Coronavirus
as a condition of prize acceptance/use; the preceding is in addition to compliance with all
applicable laws designed to prevent the transmission of COVID-19/Coronavirus, to
which winner and guests are also bound.

FROM THE VEHICLE BY GROUND TRANSPORTATION PROVIDER; REFUSAL OF
SPONSOR AND SASTO TO ALLOW INDIVIDUAL ENGAGED IN PROHIBITED
CONDUCT INTO PRIVATE DINNER; EJECTION OF INDIVIDUAL ENGAGED IN
PROHIBITED CONDUCT FROM PRIVATE DINNER BY SPONSOR AND SASTO. AND,
SUCH ACTIONS MAY BE TAKEN WITHOUT WARNING OF ANY KIND. IN ALL

PROVIDER SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY OF ANY KIND IN CONJUNCTION WITH
SUCH ACTIONS AND SPONSOR/SASTO/GROUND TRANSPORTATION PROVIDER
EACH RESERVE THE RIGHT TO PURSUE DAMAGES AND OTHER LEGAL REMEDIES
AGAINST SUCH INDIVIDUAL TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
4. Winner Determination:
Winners will be determined via random drawing. There will be one (1) random drawing for each
of California, Florida and Texas; each random drawing will be comprised only of eligible entries
received from the corresponding state.
Grand Prize random drawings will take place on or about June 28, 2023. Odds of winning a
Grand Prize depend on the total number of eligible entries received for a given state’s random
drawing. Grand Prize winners will be notified by e-mail and/or phone on or about June 29,
2023.
All random drawings will be conducted by an independent third party judging organization

LIABILITY IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY INABILITY TO CONTACT ANY POTENTIAL
WINNER.
Each Grand Prize winner will be required to sign an Affidavit/Release within two (2) days of
notification (or such shorter amount of time that Sponsor may designate) or prize will be
forfeited and may be awarded to another winner at Sponsor’s sole discretion (time permitting). If
Grand Prize winner cannot be located or does not respond to attempt to be notified within one
(1) day (or such shorter amount of time that Sponsor may designate), prize will automatically be
forfeited, and an alternate winner may be selected at Sponsor’s sole discretion (again, time
permitting).
Each guest invited by Grand Prize winner to attend private dinner must sign and return a
Liability Release and a Publicity Release (where lawful) within one (1) day of notification of
Grand Prize winner (or such shorter amount of time that Sponsor may designate at time of
winner notification).
Grand Prize winners and their guests each agree that an electronic signature/affirmation or
facsimile version of the Affidavit of Eligibility, a Liability Release and a Publicity Release
(where lawful) or Liability Release and Publicity Release (where lawful), as applicable, shall
have the same legal force and effect as a hand-signed document. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
should Sponsor determine in its sole discretion that the electronically signed/affirmed/facsimile
version of the Affidavit/Release (for winners) or Release (for guests) is not acceptable, Sponsor
may condition award of prize or attending private dinner as a guest (as the case may be) on
return of the actual hand-signed document.
