Math nerds already know this, but March 14th is National Pi Day! 3.14 or 3/14... You get it? Not only is it a day that celebrates the mathematical constant, but it's also a day where dessert lovers get to indulge in one of America's favorite sweet treats: pie!

The slogan at Du-par's is "Always Fresh. Always the Best" and they aren't kidding! Their pies are made from scratch daily and their selection is huge! The famous local bakery can be found inside the Suncoast Hotel & Casino and offers classic diner vibes. Plus, since it's on a Boyd property, you can use your rewards points for food and beverage credits.

Listen, if this were a ranked list, I'd put Freed's at the top! Freed's is a Las Vegas staple! They've been in town since the 50's and they're proud to be a three generational bakery in our city.

Personally, they've handled a few of my son's birthday cakes, including one that looked like a basketball! My boy loved it!

But if you're looking for a slice of pie, Freed's has them all! They specialize in all of the classic flavors like: pumpkin, pecan, apple. Try their key lime! It's amazing!

Pizza pies count, right? There are a few Pieology Pizzeria locations around the valley, but I recently tried the one in Downtown Summerlin. What's cool about this place is that you're able to build your own pizza pie! However, for anyone with a sweet tooth, don't forget to try their dessert pizza. It comes with a sweet icing and cinnamon sugar.

Pinkbox is mostly known for their doughnuts; however, pies sometimes make their way on their everchanging menu! Plus, if you want a doughnut with pie filling, look no further than Pinkbox's "Smashin' Apple."

Their menu describes it as a white frosted raised shell filled with apple pie filling and topped with streusel, whip and drizzled with caramel.

Sometimes you just need some good old fashioned homestyle comfort food! That's the main reason why I love Cracker Barrel so much! They offer a variety of pies, but my favorite is their Southern Pecan Pie.

And finally, you can't have a list of pie places without naming one of the largest pie chain restaurants! I go to the location off Sahara. It's by our radio station and I love that their prices haven't been affected too much by inflation. You know what you're getting when you dine at a Marie Callender's. From classic apple to indulgent cream pies, there's a reason they've been in business since 1948.

There you have it. Six places in Las Vegas to grab a slice of pie for Pi Day. Enjoy!

It's corn! A big lump with knobs... It has the juice... You may have seen the viral YouTube/TikTok video that swept the nation titled "The CEO of Corn | Recess Therapy #cornboy".

Is corn a vegetable, grain or fruit? This question has taunted corn-eaters for years and today we hope to explain the mystery more.

Corn can actually be considered all three depending on how it is harvest. According to https://ask.usda.gov/, the development of corn plays a major role in which of the three food groups corn could be placed in. When a stalk of corn is fully grown it is considered to be a part of the grains food group. The kernels are more dry which can be used for fueling cars, making food and more. When a stalk of corn is freshly grown the kernels hold liquid which classify it in the vegetable foods group. Moistened kernels can be used for corn oils and corn starches. Temperatures also play into affect how kernels are produced as more dry areas age corn quicker.

According to https://marinmg.ucanr.edu/, many botanists classify corn as a fruit. There reasoning is that the kernels harbor sugar and when that sugar dissolves it turns into starch.

The restaurant, Chica Las Vegas, found inside the Venetian Resort Las Vegas, has a dessert that is impressive and a little bit "corny." Their dessert menu features "The Corn" which is strawberry flan cheesecake, graham cracker chili crumble and raspberry tajin. The corn dessert is Instagram worthy and only cost $15.
