Well if you're going to celebrate anything today, celebrate "National Greasy Food Day" today and what better place to be in then Las Vegas! The Mike & Carla Morning Show wanted to spread the word and let you know that if a a greasy cheeseburger and fries you desire, today would be the day to dive in! According to Fatty Crab, they came out with a list of our favorite "greasy foods" and some might surprise you!

Before we get to the Top 5 "Greasy Foods", we might want to look at some of the others on the menu that sometimes get overlooked on this day. For example, Mac and Cheese made the list...not in the Top 5 and not really top of mind when you talk about this type of food, however if you bake it in the oven that changes the entire story.

Onion Rings are also on the list, but didn't crack the Top 5...who doesn't like a stack of onion rings and the big the ring, the better right? So many different items to choose from the greasy food list as you celebrate today, but one that stuck out to us and that didn't even make the Top 10...Chicken Wings! C'mon...chicken wings isn't even in the Top 10 on this list and it makes you wonder.

Las Vegas is a hot bed for wings and everyone can tell you their favorite place to get wings whether it's a chain or a local spot that goes overboard on the hot sauce! Oh, and one more to add to the list as we were shocked that didn't make it near the top...PIZZA! Have you ever looked inside the delivery box after you've eaten the last slice? Grease baby!!!!

Nonetheless, get ready for it as we run down the Top 5 "Greasy Foods" you might want to order at your favorite hang or make it happen at home so you know it's just greasy enough...so scroll down and and enjoy
