Grease Is The Word
Milwaukee-area restaurants marked National Greasy Foods Day by bringing out their greasiest concoctions for customers.
Glenn Fieber, owner of Solly's Grille in Glendale, Wisconsin, said Tuesday's National Greasy Foods Day was the perfect day to enjoy one of his restaurant's butter-covered burgers. "We grill the hamburger, and the grease comes off of a 100 percent sirloin burger, and it makes the food taste all that much better," Fieber said.
Demetrius Jones, owner of Henry's and Bobbie's Bungalow Restaurant in Milwaukee, said his food is among the greasiest customers are likely to find. "When I hear 'National Greasy Foods Day,' it makes me smile, you know, because we love grease!" Jones said.
Customers said they are aware of the health risks in high-grease diets. "With all the diets out here and everything, that's fine and dandy, but it's still hard to get away from that good grease, man," one customer said.
Damn! How come I only find out about these holidays after they've happened!
Sadly Glenn's effort was disqualified for excessive use of lettuce.
