Have about a 3 foot sticky cooking grease spill on some porous concrete. How can I get this cleaned up?

Try Some Dawn Dish Liquid with hot water or get a degreaser product. Use old towels to soak up the excess prior to cleaning.

When preparing my garage floor for epoxy I had to use a combination of muriatic acid and concrete decreaser. That removed the grease stains from motor oil from my cars.
 
This is dyed concrete, from a couple quick reads that concrete degreaser seems effective, is it going to be bad on the color?
 
I have had a simlilar spill after frying a turkey. I used powered tide and a stiff scrub brush. Brush the tide into the concrete with a little water. Let it sit for about 1/2 hours. Scrub a little more.. then go over it with a pressure washer and it removed 95% of the stain and smell.
 
Is there any reason diatomaceous earth wouldn't be appropriate? I've used it for oil drips and minor oil spills on my concrete garage floor.
