The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Lots of folks have been asking my take on the Pixar film, Ratatouille, where a rat becomes one of the finest chefs in Paris and the big bad guy is the Grim Eater restaurant critic, Anton Ego. Is the evil depiction of this critic fair? Do I identify in any way? Well, no and no. The character I identify with most in this film is the female chef, Colette. I was once a chef in kitchens filled with men and the condition is fairly common in the restaurant industry. So let’s hear it from the girls: Are you a female chef or a studying to be one? What’s your experience been like? Do you feel under appreciated, as Colette did, simply because of your sex?
