Easter egg: On standard widescreen DVD, on the main menu. When the rats are scurrying from right to left, a rat will appear next to a pan on the far left. When that happens, you will be able to move to that pan and click on the link that is there (if the rat is not there, you will not be able to go there). There is a short "commercial" for rat poison.

There are two short pieces (alternate titles for the movie and how to pronounce Ratatouille).
Chosen answer: This is a legend, which states that the number of pleats on a chef's hat (or toque) represents the number of ways that they know how to prepare an egg. There's certainly no evidence that it's actually true - it would be highly impractical if it were, requiring a chef to get a replacement every time they learned a new method. Regardless, many toques are made with exactly 100 pleats, supposedly based on the idea that there are 100 ways to prepare an egg, however, chefs wear them regardless of their culinary skill in that department.
