Let's make this birthday one to remember.

46 years old (Born on October 10, 1978)

Happy Birthday, Fabio Viviani! May your day be filled with more flavor than that unforgettable gnocchi dish you whipped up on Top Chef. Your charm and culinary genius made season five a deliciously entertaining ride—who else could make pasta-making look like an Olympic sport?

From dazzling us in the kitchen to building restaurant empires, you've seasoned our lives generously (and humorously). Here's hoping this year brings even greater success—and fewer cooking mishaps caught on camera!

Cheers to another fabulous trip around the sun; may it bring laughter as hearty as your famous meatballs and joy sweeter than tiramisu!
