Also, is Ratatouille a real story?
According to The Daily Beast, the character of Gusteau—the overweight chef who dies of sadness after losing a Michelin star only to return as Remy the rat's imaginary friend—was based on a real-life person, a man named Bernard Loiseau. Up until 2003, Loiseau was the most famous chef in France.
Gusteau's ownership of the restaurant was handed over to his sous chef Skinner, who was not exactly faithful to his boss's ideals. He later appears as Remy's guide, leading him to Gusteau's. It is later revealed that Alfredo Linguini is really the son of Gusteau.
