Ratatouille

Remy's cooking is credited to Linguini, who rises in the ranks of Gusteau's, angering wound-tight Head Chef Skinner. Remy becomes the owner of Gusteau's when it is revealed that he is the son of the Gusteau himself. The Remy/Linguini combination is put to the test by hard-nosed food snob Anton Ego. Linguini desperately reveals his secret to his kitchen staff, who are disgusted and desert him. (Colette comes back.) Remy recruits all of his rat friends and they run the kitchen like a well-oiled machine. They serve Ego the "peasant dish" ratatouille, which reminds him of his childhood. He happily demands to meet the Head Chef, and after making everyone else leave, Colette and Linguini introduce him to their rat troop. Ego serves up a raving review, but Skinner reports them and the Board of Health shuts Gusteau's down. Remy and Linguini open up their own restaurant - Le Ratatouille.

Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the movie when the crazy lady goes after Remy and Emile with the shotgun, she fires three shots at them: two in the wall and one towards the ceiling when Emile is crossing the banister. After Emile crosses the banister, look at the ceiling around the chandelier in the next shot. There are 4 shotgun holes in the ceiling.

Question: Does anyone know anything about the theory that chefs hats represents the number of ways that they know how to prepare eggs? If this is correct, then why is Linguini allowed to wear a chef's hat when he, in fact, isn't one? Wouldn't he be wearing a different hat?

Shannon Jackson

Chosen answer: This is a legend, which states that the number of pleats on a chef's hat (or toque) represents the number of ways that they know how to prepare an egg. There's certainly no evidence that it's actually true - it would be highly impractical if it were, requiring a chef to get a replacement every time they learned a new method. Regardless, many toques are made with exactly 100 pleats, supposedly based on the idea that there are 100 ways to prepare an egg, however, chefs wear them regardless of their culinary skill in that department.
