Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on February 10, 1964)

Happy birthday, Chef Richard! Hope your day is filled with joy, laughter, and plenty of oysters—though perhaps for once you won’t have to shuck them yourself. After all these years running Bentley's Oyster Bar & Grill and the exciting launch of Bentley’s Sea Grill, you've certainly earned a break…or at least one evening where others do the cooking.

It’s been quite the journey since earning that Michelin star back in 1998 (spoiler alert: you're still rocking it). May this new chapter bring even more culinary successes—and stories we can tease you about at next year's celebration. Cheers to another year seasoned perfectly!
