Let's make this birthday one to remember.

57 years old (Born on May 14, 1968)

Happy Birthday, Chef John Besh! Another year older and still cooking up magic—your culinary creations at Restaurant August have made taste buds dance more than Mardi Gras revelers on Bourbon Street. Your dishes are legendary; rumor has it even gumbo dreams of being as flavorful as yours!

From your award-winning recipes to inspiring countless foodies worldwide, you've seasoned our lives with joy and spice. May this birthday bring you laughter louder than a jazz band in the French Quarter—and may your celebrations be sweeter than freshly powdered beignets.

Here's to another deliciously successful trip around the sun!
