Ratatouille

Today I was in Paris for the last time. I have lived near it for more than five years. A film about this city is Ratatouille ! Je l'aime !

In the hilarious new animated-adventure, RATATOUILLE, a rat named Remy dreams of becoming a great chef despite his family's wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat in a decidedly rodent-phobic profession. When fate places Remy in the city of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. Despite the apparent dangers of being an unwanted visitor in the kitchen at one of Paris' most exclusive restaurants, Remy forms an unlikely partnership with Linguini, the garbage boy, who inadvertently discovers Remy's amazing talents. They strike a deal, ultimately setting into motion a hilarious and exciting chain of extraordinary events that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down.

Remy finds himself torn between following his dreams or returning forever to his previous existence as a rat. He learns the truth about friendship, family and having no choice but to be who he really is, a rat who wants to be a chef.

Behind the bash

Your CrazyWaiter has a lot of foodsteps in the partycatering. It's cool, you start with nothing (an empty building or garage), you build up a restaurant or partycenter, you do the party, you break down and you end with nothing. Especially when it's on location it's about 25% service, 25% kitchen and 50% organisation.

Behind the Bash is a show hosted by Giada De Laurentiis (@gdelaurentiis) that aired on Food Network.

The show focuses on what it takes to create the (quoted from Food Network's website)"over-the-top, high-rolling parties from glitzy Las Vegas to New York City." In these fragments they are following the catering for the afterparty of the Grammy awards. Giada is invited behind the scenes of a Grammy after party that was several months in the making. In four days, 6,000 guests are set to arrive at the L.A. Convention Center. Things have to be unforgettably elegant and over-the-top gourmet. After the jump also an episode detailing the grand opening gala for the new theatrical production, Phantom — The Las Vegas Spectacular, which opened at The Venetian.
