(Time) — Normally, the opening of a fried-chicken restaurant in Clinton, Iowa, wouldn’t make much news, but that, presumably, is why the restaurant’s owner has partnered with Flavor Flav. The Public Enemy rapper, who has become a fixture on outré reality-TV shows, has decided to leverage his recent VH1-fueled fame in one of the happiest ways possible: by giving his name to a fried-chicken chain, set to open its first outlet sometime this year. “The Colonel better watch his back, G,” Flav boasted in late January. “The Colonel might end up in my fryer.”
