The hip hop culture doesn't interest me in the least. \n\nMostly because it has not one ounce of finesse or subtlety to it. \nGive me Ray Charles or Stevie Ray Vaughn or Tower of Power (coming to Southpoint in May by the way) any day.\n\nBUT...Flav's chicken joint DOES have subtlety and finesse. \nI'm not referring to the ghetto theater surrounding the place: tough-looking guys dressed in black guarding the door and letting people in one-at-a-time...(give me a break guys, it's a take-out chicken shack, not a VIP room!) \n\nBUT BUT....the chicken itself is excellent...full of subtle flavors and spices, and clearly made with some finesse.\nThe mac n cheese was ok: a little runny but flavorful. And the fries were much better than average.\n\nBUT BUT BUT.....it's the chicken that's worth coming back for. \nThey're on to something here. It's obvious that they care about what they're doing.\nHouse of FlavOr could become a larger enterprise, and maybe one day even a chain. \nI'll be back, that's for sure.\n\n\n\nHmmmm.....I just re-read this review. \nMaybe I've got a little hip hop in me after all, cuz clearly I like BIG BUTS.
