Let's make this birthday one to remember.

48 years old (Born on February 23, 1977)

Happy Birthday, Rick Moonen! You're the only chef we know who can make sustainable seafood look cooler than a rockstar's guitar solo. Your tireless advocacy for ocean-friendly fishing practices has not only filled our plates with delicious dishes but also kept Nemo and friends swimming happily.

From your groundbreaking restaurant ventures to inspiring countless chefs worldwide, you've truly reeled in success while keeping sustainability afloat. May this birthday bring you as much joy as your famous seafood creations have brought us—minus the fishy puns (well, maybe just one more). Here's hoping your day is off-the-hook fantastic!
