Christopher Walken on Beer, Spaghetti, and Ice Cream
In the June issue of Esquire, the What I've Learned feature spotlights the great Christopher Walken, who's listed simply as "Actor, 66. Wilton, Connecticut." In around twenty random observations he offers his thoughts on golf, wrist watches, Dennis Hopper, and zoos ("Awful."). In addition to a his take on Danish and Boston Cream Pie ("Very good."), Walken shares this culinary gem, which I can't seem to shake.
I love spaghetti. And I like to cook spaghetti. And I used to eat it every day. I weighed thirty pounds more than I do now. You can't--you can't do that. Ice cream--I love to watch television and eat ice cream. But that's like a ten-year-old. I can't do that anymore. Beer. Beer, spaghetti, ice cream.
If the world needs another celebrity cookbook, let's make it a Christopher Walken cookbook. We already know the man knows how to make a mean Chicken with Pears. Who's with me?

Oh. My. Gah. I hardly know what to say about that Chicken with Pears, other than...it's precisely, PRECISELY, like you would imagine cooking with Christopher Walken to be. Why is it the particular placement of the black pepper that sticks with me out of everything else in there? Hard to say. Hard to say.

There's ANOTHER Christopher Walken cooking video available now. Julian Schnabel is in it too. http://tinyurl.com/db6vbn
