This is some of the best food TV I've seen recently (the player is embedded after the jump). It's a nicely edited clip of Christopher Walken preparing roasted chicken and pears. He shares cooking tips, shows off his upright roaster and seems totally and completely comfortable in the kitchen. Clocking in at just more than three minutes long, it is a good example of how little preparation is needed to make a good meal, even one fit for a star.

If C. Walken cooks it, I'll eat it.

I mean he has the window, the wine bottles, etc. And, you could tell that he wasn't acting but enjoying it. Loved his guest at the end, da cat.

LOL

8-04-2007 @7:33PM Kamineko said... Looks delicious! I love chicken with fruit.Only problem I have is the lack of hand washing! Raw chicken microbes all over the salt cellar and the spoon! Yikes! Well, he IS Christopher Walken, so he just has to do something edgy, eh? I love him to pieces, him and little cat too!

8-04-2007 @11:41PM Linda said... I know the sink looked clean, but didn't like the way it slid around while he put it on the stand. I had hoped he would have washed it with a salt rub. No matter if he wanted company I would have gladly sat down and ate. Love that voice.
