- <p> It was hardly a typical Monte Carlo menu: alligator sausages
- from Louisiana, soft-shelled crabs from Maryland, fresh New
- Jersey corn. These were among the specialties brought by 60
- international chefs and restaurateurs who then turned them into
- culinary tributes to food critic Craig Claiborne at an elegant
- garden party celebrating his 70th birthday last week. "It was
- without question the greatest day of my life," he says.
- Earlier, as the chefs frolicked in the water of a decorative
- pool, the birthday boy was impulsively given a piggyback ride.
- He avoided being splashed, only to be properly anointed with
- a burst of champagne.
