WATCH: Christopher Walken’s New Cooking Show Features Richard Belzer And Ballerinas

Dear Lidia Bastianich: we know that you knew Christopher Walken growing up. Heck, the two of you even worked together in the Astoria bakery owned by his parents. (Sometimes you still cook together!) Can you please tell us if he was always this kooky around food? Granted, this is a Funny Or Die video with Law and Order’s Richard Belzer and it is, quite clearly, purposefully absurd (hence the ballerinas and the mandolin player), but we really want to know if he ever magically transported you from the bakery to a petting zoo:

“When I first came here, you could walk in there, and — they had llamas…that goat does not look happy.”

It looks like Lidia’s Italy needs more cowbell.
