All You Can Eat
Environmental Responsibility \ Self-Control \ Accountability
Chef Deelish is world renowned! Chef Deelish creates the greatest meals for all species big and small!
Chef Deelish has been given the challenge of creating the first ever worldwide-all-animal-all you can eat buffet—a buffet where there is enough food for every animal on the planet. The problem is that Francis the Squirrel takes more than needed while others like Jet, a sloth, can’t get enough to nourish themselves. Not only that, but Francis is making a mess of the whole buffet and making all of the food inedible. Will Chef Deelish succeed? It depends on the help of the audience of young sous chefs.
