Christopher Walken Does Parody Cooking Show

Maybe it's because Christopher Walken really likes making chicken, but here he is, starring in a cooking show aptly called Cooking with Walken. And he's making chicken with pears. Again.

If you don't recall, his video of chicken and pears went viral last year, but this version is much more high-budget. There are model-esque assistants, a trip to the petting zoo, someone in a cow suit, a puppy, and also Richard Belzer from Law & Order: SVU. It's half Anthony Bourdain, half Eric Ripert's On the Table, as Walken and Belzer talk about cooking and goats and all sorts of stuff. There's chicken and pears, an arugula and Parmesan salad, a gorgeous dinner outside. There's even a mandolin player strumming in the background, as Walken uncorks a bottle of wine and serves his model assistants. Yep, Walken's got everything. It's like Gwyneth Paltrow's GOOP, except kind of affordable?
