Ted Allen is celebrating his 60th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed television hosts of his generation.
Popular television host-author Ted Allen (Chopped, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 60th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Allen, a cultural icon
Born in Columbus on May 20, 1965, Ted Allen's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Allen's not just a great television host, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Ted hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Ted Allen as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 60.
Happy Birthday, Ted, you're the best!
