I GOT FLAVOR AND ALL THOSE THINGS YOU KNOW: Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing Flav's Fried Chicken. No absentee ownership there in Clinton, Iowa, either. "You're going to find me in here working. You're going to be catching me seasoning my chicken, frying up my chicken, and not only that, but serving my chicken to my people."

  1. 1.  Wake me when we finally get Wu-Tang Fried Chicken.  Enter the 36 Chambers of Flavor!
    2.  No, Mr. Flav--despite what your recipe says, cannabis cannot (at least legally) be amongst the 11 herbs and spices used to flavor.

  4. Somewhere out there is a undergraduate English thesis analyzing Flav as a modern instance of the Shakespearian fool.  Now there's room for a Sociology thesis that discusses the place of that fool as a product mascot in modern media capitalism.  "Who's Fools?" or "Falstaff, Flava & the Frito Bandito: Fooling for Fun & Profit -- an Exploration if Issues of Image, Ownership and Exploitation in Art and Commerce."

    This has nothing to do with chicken, but it does allow me to note that I saw Flav in the Las Vegas airport last week.  Yes, he was wearing a big clock as a necklace.

  9. You've got to try their outstanding Vietnamese/Italian chicken soup -- Pho-ck the Pollo-ice.

    The Straight Out of Quy Nhon cocktail makes for an excellent capstone to the evening.

    ok, i think i've figured it out, and it's so simple.  the only reason random people come to iowa in the winter is if they're planning to run for president, so my money is on mr. flav throwing his hat into the ring for 2012.
