"Is the third time the charm? That&amp;#039;s what rapper turned restaurateur Flavor Flav is hoping as he attempts to open his third eatery, Flav&amp;#039;s Chicken &amp;amp;amp; Ribs in Sterling Heights, Michigan, in metro Detroit. More From Delish: Southern Comforts: 9 Healthy Soul Food Recipes   In 2011, the former VH1 reality star and musician partnered with entrepreneur Nick Cimino to open his eponymous restaurant in, of all places, Clinton, Iowa. A short time later, TMZ reported that staff members&amp;#039; paychecks bounced, and Flav removed his name from the project. He also told TMZ that he wasn&amp;#039;t satisfied with the food. &amp;quot;Let me be straight up with you, I went up inside there on April 2 and I found potato salad that expired on February 28. And it&amp;#039;s then when I realized I can&amp;#039;t do business with this man and I really hope no one ate those potatoes,&amp;quot; he told the news organization.   But that didn&amp;#039;t stop the clock-wearing Flav. He went on to open a soul food restaurant, Flavor Flav&amp;#039;s House of Flavor, in March 2012 in Las Vegas. That too shuttered the following September despite his attempts to promote the fried chicken and waffles on a Southwest airlines flight from Burbank to Vegas by ambushing the intercom system.
