It's National French Fry Day on Wednesday! Crispy on the outside, mealy on the inside and fried to golden perfection.

French fries satisfy every facet of a junk food craving. Plus, it's the quintessential summer-time food because its available in every medium.

From being packed in buckets, loaded with toppings or served as a companion to other food, fries make everything better,

Personally, some of our favorite French fry variations include carne asada fries, "animal-style" fries, kimchi fries and French fries seasoned with furikake (a Japanese seasoning) and wasabi mayo!

The French fry has evolved in presentation and intent, which seemingly reflects the changes in our culture. As we've progressed in time, so has the variations of the French fry.

However, the story behind how and when the French fry was created is murky at best.

“The fry is a daughter of street cooking,” culinary historian Madeleine Ferrière told Le Monde. “That’s why it’s so hard to establish its birth certificate.”

The history behind the French fry remains uncertain because, "it’s hard to know whether written references to fried potatoes refer to deep-fried lengths of potato, or rather to rounds sautéed in a pan with butter," an article by the British Broadcast Channel states.

But in the 20th century, French fries appeared in writing in a Belgian guide called "The Traité d’économie domestique et d’hygiène (Treatise on Domestic Economy and Hygiene)," according to the BBC.

This was one of the first written records of French fries being mentioned. And although the origin of the French fry is disputed, we're just thankful that this delectable cuisine exists.

From being the perfect comfort food to also being the perfect pairing to luxurious steaks and more, we're writing this article as an ode to the lovely French fry.

Who doesn't love cheap eats?

Let us rephrase this. Who doesn't love a cheap meal that tastes amazing?

As inflation creeps up, finding cheap eats is getting more and more difficult.

According to a recent report by the Associated Press, the Federal Reserve is expected to announce one of the largest interest hikes since 1994.

This is a bigger increase than previously projected, according to the AP, and is a signal that "the central bank is struggling to restrain stubbornly high inflation."

Along with this, the cost of food has shot up, which means that everything in the supply chain will feel the affects from it. And trust us, our regular orders at our go-to places have increased in price! Consumers have also changed their shopping habits, especially at the grocery store, due to rising inflation, according to CNBC.

Plus, people are getting more concerned about food prices. In a survey conducted by The Harris Poll and Alpha Foods, 90% of Americans are concerned about food prices.

Prices of the foundations in the food pyramid such as meat, oils, grains and wheat have increased. And this is due to many factors such as the rising cost of fertilizer and energy, according to CNBC. There also have been food-export bans and disruptions from nations that supply wheat, oats, sugar, and palm oil, which are in most -- if not all -- foods.

With all of this being said, it's harder than ever to find a cheap meal that satisfies our hunger.

And although Las Vegas is thought to be a city of exclusive dining and expensive restaurant bills, we're here to prove this stereotype wrong!

Las Vegas is home to rich cultural communities with microcosms of authentic, local and cost-effective eateries.
