Flavor Flav, the clock-sporting rapper and star of the reality dating show Flavor of Love, recently opened a fried chicken eatery in Clinton, Iowa -- located right next door to a KFC that's been feeding locals since 1963.
But Flav isn't worried about competition, and he's confident that his chicken will outdo the Colonel's.
"The taste will blow up your taste buds," he told the Clinton Herald. "You'll have fireworks in there."
However, according to the adjacent KFC, the opening of Flav's Fried Chicken (FFC for short) has had no effect on sales.
"Really, our business has been normal," said Nonie Robb, the store's general manager. Even though Flav boasts about his fried chicken's flavor, Robb does not foresee her business being affected by the Public Enemy star's new venture. "I think KFC speaks for itself with all the years we've been around."
Flav, who pledged to be an active owner in the restaurant, said he hopes to open hundreds of FFCs. He even plans to work behind the counter, seasoning, flouring and frying chicken. In fact, William Drayton Jr. -- his real name -- is a 1978 graduate of cooking school who worked as a head cook.
Flavor Flav has also penned an autobiography -- Flavor Flav: The Icon -- which is set for release in spring.

Wonder is he will serve chicken like Williams Chicken does, they take a breast and cut it in half and call it 2 pieces of chicken.
OK, I believe Kenny Rogers Chicken had more street cred and potential than Flavor Flavs. I personally doubt that Flav's Chicken will hit main stream popularity any better than Kenny's dead chicken. But good luck there. Hell, I'm scared just going by a Roscoes. Can you imagine the riff-raff that would go to Flav's? I'm out. Better be packin' heat, yah!!
Won't last once MLK BLVD citezens eat there that will be all. Big star, try it once, remember Kenny?
no chance....Will disappear within a year.
You have that right. Everyone thinks they can cook. Everyone thinks the restaurant business is easy. Everyone thinks that people are going to stop eating at the restaurants that are eating at now and go to them. Everyone thinks that ALL there friends will patronize their restaurant.(YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS) most of those that do come to your restaurant are looking for a break on the bill. It goes on and on. Places like
Mickey D's want you to have 2-3 million in cash to open one. If I had
2-3 mill thelast thing I would want to do is trust my fortune to some 15-16 year old kid who will be feeding the neighborhood.
you are sooo right. restaurants have highest failure rate of any business. usually they close within 5 years of opening.
You Know how to make a Million bucks in the restaurant business? Start with 2 million...
The slogan "It's Flav-a-ful"
You know why? Flav wares the clock around his neck. He always used to say "Times running out for the white Man". Why would anyone want to buy this "racest" fast food ?
Flav OO is hoping the I owa folks don;t know a racist whenthey see one and can;t tellthe diference between sewer rat and chicken.
In Clinton, Iowa? You've got to be kidding.
It's spelled racist
LMAO: AOL briefly jumbled this story about flav opening a chicken joint with obama's state of the union address and switched photos...quite frankly, i couldn't tell the difference
will day serves waaaater mellown?
Dats right...Wait til you try his special sauce!!
yeah he be whippin it up now mo
don't hate on the man . He is doing what we all should be doing not working for the man but being a owner and not working for pennies
He will be out of business within a year, pompous a~~.
This is a walking,talking piece of crap. He has no talent. He is becoming "the man" he will hire all ghetto youth and exploit them just like the WHITE MAN he says he hates.
