Jamie Oliver is celebrating his 51st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed chefs of his generation.

Popular chef Jamie Oliver (The Naked Chef, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 51st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Oliver, a cultural icon

Born James Trevor Oliver in Clavering on May 27, 1975, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Oliver's not just a great chef, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Jamie hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Jamie Oliver as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 51.

Happy Birthday, Jamie, you're the best!
