Let's make this birthday one to remember.

47 years old (Born on October 26, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Benjamin Sargent! May your special day be as thrilling and flavorful as surfing waves of clam chowder at Surf Bar or riding a seafood hurricane over patrons' taste buds at Hurricane Hopeful. Your daring creativity in the kitchen is legendary—rumor has it even lobsters volunteer to join your menu.

We raise our glasses (preferably filled with oyster shooters!) celebrating another spectacular year seasoned perfectly with culinary genius and oceanic charm. Here's hoping this coming year brings you plenty of fresh catches, joyful moments by the sea, more epic TV adventures—and fewer incidents involving overly ambitious shellfish rebellion!
