Yeah, boy! Today comes word that Flavor Flav, man of 100 clocks, wants to bring his Flav Fried Chicken franchise to New York.
"Hell yeah, I'm bringing FCC home, I'm doing that shit here," the Freeport, Long Island native told The Daily of his troubled chicken chain, whose first location, in Iowa, was recently hit with a lawsuit which was amazingly not related to it also serving five-week expired potato salad.
There's no word yet on when Flav is actually planning on making his return to New York, especially since he just signed a deal to open the originally-named "Flavor Flav's House Of Flavor" in front of the Crazy Girls strip club in Las Vegas, but we've been waiting for a worthy successor to the shuttered Obama Fried Chicken's crown.
