Flavor Flav is a man with a multitude of talents.  He may not look it, but he’s actually a multi-instrumentalist, as well as a reality television star and Grammy-winning rapper alongside Chuck D in the seminal rap group Public Enemy.  Also, apparently, Flavor Flav is a chicken genius and budding restaurateur.  Flavor Flav is opening up a fried chicken restaurant in Clinton, Iowa, and maintains that he’ll be in his chicken shack working when he’s not on tour or otherwise engaged.

Flav maintains the idea was that of his friend and business partner, Nick Cimino.  “He said, ‘You know what, Flav? … What I want to do, I want to build you your first restaurant.’  I’m like, ‘Are you serious?’  He’s like, ‘Yo, I’m dead serious, man.  I’m going to go home, I’m going to build your first FFC restaurant.'”

And thus, Flavor Flav Chicken was born in the small town of Clinton, Iowa.  The idea germinated when Nick’s brother, Las Vegas restauranteur Peter Cimino, had Flav fry up some chicken wing at Cimino’s Las Vegas restaurant, Mama Cimino’s Pizza.  Cue the new business venture.  I mean, if Jay Z can do it, why not Flavor Flav?  Flavor Flav actually has a cooking background.  His family owned a diner in his native New York and he attended cooking school in the 1970’s before striking it rich as half of Public Enemy.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
