Ey up, thread chef here (least I was the head talking about the veracity of Ratatouille's depiction of the kitchen last thread). I'm going to have to doubt that cat story, firstly as if they had a rat problem, they'd get exterminators not cats in. Secondly when he'd talked about a stew boiling away for months at a time, it reminded me of ASOIAF's bowl of brown stews, which as plot points had dead bodies added to them as needed.
Or at least every fibre in my being as a trained chef with his health and hygiene certs HOPES it isn't true and that's leaving out the fact I adore cats to boot.
