Come to find out today is not only National "Chicken Wing Day" today, but it's also "National Lasagna Day"! This seem to cause quite a dilemma on The Mike & Carla Morning Show when the question was thrown out, given the choice, which one do you celebrate today?

Now with Carla Rea being Italian, it wasn't a difficult choice, but on the other hand, Mike O'Brian thought, while not being a big "lasagna" type of guy, he would definitely go for the traditional chicken wings.

However, as listeners started to text in and even make the call into the show, it was clear that today would be a toss up when it came to celebrating with a huge basket of chicken wings or a nice plate of Italian lasagna...and we're not talking from the frozen food section either!
