CLINTON — Area residents have officially set their taste buds to a new flavor.
Equipped with his trademark clock, Public Enemy group member and reality TV star Flavor Flav joined citizens, city officials and media for Flav’s Fried Chicken’s grand opening ceremony Monday.
Once the event completed, the restaurant opened at 4 p.m. and people lined up outside the building for hours to taste Flav’s fried-chicken recipe. Flav, who has been in Clinton since Thursday, said this experience is overwhelming.
“I just want to bring something good to your neighborhood,” Flav said to the crowd during the ribbon cutting. “I feel that this could be a good entity to the neighborhood.
“Plus, I’m trying to start a franchise, so this is the beginning of it. And I just want to say that you guys are a part of it.”
After meeting with several Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors and other city leaders, Flav joined co-owner Nick Cimino and his family to cut the ribbon, starting the inaugural FFC.
Clinton Mayor Rodger Holm said the restaurant’s opening is good news for the city.
