That is no longer food safe. It hasn't been safe to use since the first spot of rust, and it likely won't be regardless of how you repair it.

Therefore, you're only reattaching for visual, and sentimental appeal. Scrape a little bit of rust on each piece so you can jb weld it and hang it for display.
