Mario Batali Twitter

"I like my veggies with a side of hair."

Today, celebrity chef and restauranteur Mario Batali turns 52. Born on Sept. 19, 1960 in Seattle, Washington to parents of Italian and French Canadian descent, Batali is one of the most successful chefs in the culinary industry. He built his empire on the concept of cooking up simple yet delicious Italian dishes.

By the age of 27, Batali had quickly worked his way from dishwasher up the food chain, scoring a spot as the highest-paid young chef at the Four Seasons hotel empire. His laid-back, charming personality and atrocious fashion wear scored him a nice television and international fame. With his current operation of 16 restaurants in cities from New York City to Singapore, to penning cooking books, and giving back to the community through charitable efforts, the ginger-haired New York City resident and father of two boasts a serious fortune found through his love of food.

"Happy Birthday, EVOO queen!"

Rachael Dearest:

It is with bottles of extra virgin olive oil in hand that we celebrate this special day, your birthday. Rachael, honey, we've even taken the time to label your catchphrase EVOO--one of your favorite things to say--on all our bottle of olive oil. We adore you Rachael, because if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have a clue how to whip up scrumptious meals in 30 minutes or less.

We crown you as the queen of cooking today, dear Virgo; you're admittedly rough-around-the-edges persona helps to demystify the art of cooking, making it a can-do activity for an average Joe like ourselves. We love your bohemian spirit of not wanting to measure precisely each ingredient you cook with, instead you just go with it. Oh what sass you have.

Here's the birthday girl, probably saying something utterly charming.

Today marks what would have been the 100th birthday of venerable chef, TV personality, and all-around kick-ass woman Julia Child. No snark here: There's too much to admire about the Francophile gourmand, from her passion for life and excellent food to her prolific career and refusal to let rejection ever slow her down. So how does a person of such stature get properly memorialized in the viral video era? With an Auto-Tuned remix video, of course.

Happy Birthday! Here's to 71 more years of making us feel inferior!

Dear Martha,

Happy birthday! It's hard to believe that just 71 years ago, you arrived on this planet, a French rolling pin in one hand and a glitter-dusted pinecone in the other.

You are truly an inspiration. Through the years, your magazines and television series have shown us common folks a life that we will never have -- ever.
