Flavor Flav's House of Flavor opens today in Las Vegas

Yeah, boy! The iconic rapper and "Flavor of Love" reality star Flavor Flav will open his fried chicken restaurant in Las Vegas today, in case you needed another reason to visit Sin City. The take out restaurant features recipes and secret spice rub mixtures developed by Flavor Flav himself over the years. Yes, that's right. Flav has a cooking degree.

The menu includes fried chicken, fried shrimp and Flavor Flav's signature red velvet waffle. We're told to also expect celebrity sightings.

Not sure who Flav is? Apparently you're not into quality TV (his "Flavor of Love 2" finale was the highest rated VH1 telecast ever). Most recently, he appeared with Elton John in the Pepsi Super Bowl commercial.

Flav wants to make sure everyone understands that this is not the same restaurant that failed in Iowa a few years back. Well, it is, but this one is going to be different, he told Business Week.

Let's hope so - if you make it to Vegas and check out the chicken, be sure to let us know.
