...saves my child from a grizzly, but such an encounter is not so likely in New Jersey. In the meantime, he persists. The dog follows me like a bad smell, settling at my feet as I read my child a bedtime story, panting by my knee as I cook my daughter's dinner. Dog lovers would call it unconditional love. They're wrong. A dog's love comes with a lengthy prenup: vet bills when it gets diarrhea; peroxide baths when it gets skunked; low-carb kibble when it gets old and fat.

But Remy's culinary imagination, put into effect by Linguini (Lou Romano) and the comely sous-chef Colette (Janeane Garofalo), will restore the reputation of the place ... if only...
When he starts work on a movie, Bird looks for core thoughts. The core here: "Cooks are givers, and rats are takers. In the larger world there are people who are givers and people who are takers. Cooking, feeding people, is a giving act. All art at its best is a giving act that continues to give as long as the art is consumed. As with a cook, you're handing it over to someone to enjoy...
