The TV is tuned to a documentary.

As an old fashioned World globe rotates in a sea of clouds,


the Eiffel Tower slowly comes into view over the horizon, dwarfing France underneath it.
T.V. NARRATOR: Although each of the worlds countries would like to dispute this fact, we
French know the truth; the best food in the world is made in France. The best food in France is
made in Paris, and the best food in Paris, some say, is made by Chef Auguste Gusteau.
We see images of Gusteau: cooking, signing his cookbook, in front of his famous restaurant.
Gusteau is in his early forties, but his massive girth makes him look older.
T.V. NARRATOR: Gusteaus restaurant is the toast of Paris, booked five months in advance,
and his dazzling ascent to the top of Fine French Cuisine has made his competitors envious. He
is the youngest Chef ever to achieve a five star rating. Chef Gusteaus cookbook Anyone Can
Cook! has climbed to the top of the bestseller list. But not everyone celebrates its success.
A tall, gaunt, severe-looking man with fish-belly white skin appears on the TV screen. Super
Anton Ego Food Critic. Beneath that, in italics, is his moniker: The Grim Eater.
EGO: Amusing title, Anyone Can Cook. Whats even more amusing is that Gusteau actually
seems to believe it. I, on the other hand, take cooking seriously and no-- I dont think anyone
can do it...

a. We learn about the most popular restaurant in France, Gusteaus.
b. We learn where the best food in the world is made.
