Description
Yat and Dat are two lovable, colorful birds who are jealous of the great food of New Orleans. One day they are so tired of scraps and seeds that they decide to make their own masterpiece. Off they fly around the city snagging bits of specialties from fabulous New Orleans restaurants. One by one they add their favorites to the bubbling pot, only to find that "it tastes like river water!" In the end they realized that it's best to "leave it to da chefs. Dey really know what's cookin'!"
