''My seventieth birthday party, catered by Richard Visconte, had chefs, food writers, wine collectors, wine makers, hoteliers, food stylists and my culinary obsessed family lining up for some of the best food ever served at a party. When over thirty food and wine experts go back for seconds, and clean their plates, you know the food had to be pretty sensational... Thank you, Richard, and your staff, for making this a most memorable birthday and a memorable meal.''
