The restaurant thrives as Remy's recipes become popular, though as Linguini and Colette develop a relationship, Remy begins to feel left out. The dour world-renowned food critic Anton Ego, whose negative review had indirectly led to Gusteau's death, announces he will dine at the restaurant. Skinner orders Colette to teach Linguini to be a cook. Remy witnesses Skinner's discovery that Linguini is Gusteau's illegitimate son and rightful owner of the restaurant, and gives the evidence to Linguini, who forces Skinner out. Back in Linguini's apartment the two learn to communicate and devise a plan: Remy hides under Linguini's toque at the restaurant and guides his movements like a marionette by pulling on his hair. Skinner, having tried the soup, decides to retain Linguini. When Linguini is ordered to replicate the soup, he is helped by Remy. Skinner spots Remy trying to escape, and orders Linguini to kill the rat, but Linguini decides to keep Remy instead. Skinner confronts Linguini for tampering with the soup, but when the soup is accidentally served and proves to be a success, Colette Tatou, the staff's only female chef, convinces Skinner to retain Linguini. Linguini catches him in the act, but does not reveal him to Skinner, Gusteau's former sous-chef and new owner of the restaurant. One day, when the colony is forced to flee their home, Remy is separated from the clan and eventually finds himself above the kitchen of Gusteau's Restaurant in Paris. When Remy observes a young garbage boy named Alfredo Linguini attempt to fix a soup he has spilled, he recognizes that Linguini is unintentionally ruining it and fixes his mistakes. However, the rest of his rat colony, including his brother Emile and his father Django, are interested in food only for sustenance.

Remy is a highly intelligent and idealistic young rat with unusually acute senses of taste and smell who dreams of becoming a chef like his idol, the late Auguste Gusteau. Lets continue our Disney marathon with Brad Bird's second film for Pixar that features a rat who has a knack for the culinary arts.
