in Tupelo Mississippi where Southern Cuisine played a significant role in his life he enjoyed it either by itself or when added to almost anything and we can't really blame him since it's so delicious however it did significantly increase the amount of fat calories and cholesterol in his already fatty diet to serve at gron Gatherings he alleged allegedly even invented party meatballs wrapped in bacon Cooks made sure bacon was constantly in the refrigerator after Presley's rise to popularity and moved to graand in Memphis to ensure they would never run out it is said that the chef kept a supply of it cooked and available for nibbling and Presley would consume an entire pound at once according to Mary Jenkins Langston one of Presley's grac and Cooks the idea that he likes his bacon burnt is untrue Presley really preferred his bacon to be quite crisp number six grilled peanut butter and banana sandwiches Elvis Presley enjoyed eating grilled peanut butter and banana sandwiches if you haven't heard of any of his other favorites this well-known sandwich was gooey sugary perfection in Presley's eyes his chef at grund took some time to perfect the recipe starting with toasted bread and Grilling each sandwich with roughly 5 tspoons of butter was necessary to get Presley's approval so you ended up with flawlessly toasted bread that was both permeated with peanut butter and butter and flowing with both of them if you're in Memphis you can visit the Arcade restaurant one of Presley's favorite Memphis Hangouts and order a sandwich with peanut butter and banana that's reminiscent of the one Elvis adored the sandwich however has only been available there since 2001 although Presley never really a PB and Bee sandwich there the eery sells 300 every week during the annual Elvis week in August and 100 every week on a regular week number five Fool's Gold Loaf a friend once told Elvis Presley about a ridiculous sandwich called a Fool's Gold loaf that was served at the Colorado Mine Company in Denver Colorado so they boarded a plane to try it out at first he fell in love the official recipe called BS for toasting a loaf of French white bread that has been covered in 2 tablespoons of margarine the loaf is then hollowed out and a pound of crisp bacon a jar of smooth peanut butter and a jar of jelly are all placed within Presley loved the sandwich so much that once in the middle of the night he took a special trip to Denver to get it he promptly took off for grund after the restaurant sent 22 of the enormous sandwiches to his aircraft on the Airfield in Denver next up big breakfasts Elvis Presley loved morning meals especially the modest Foods he grew up eating and always insisted on a king-size breakfast therefore there were no elaborate items like omelets on the menu additionally he enjoyed having breakfast in bed when you have someone else wash your bedding for you who cares if you get crumbs and bacon grease on them you might expect that given his fondness for bacon his meals were filled with a lot of it he would have baked biscuits fried in butter sausage patties four scrambled eggs and occasionally fried bacon for breakfast according to his cook Mary Jenkins Langston he liked fried potatoes melon cubes pancakes with applesauce and melted butter freshly baked rolls and grilled peanut butter and banana sandwiches for breakfast among other things according to the New York Times I'd bring the tray up to his room and he'd say this is good Mary he'd have butter running down his arms number three meatloaf Elvis Presley craved meatloaf so frequently that he once insisted on having it every day for a period of 6 months regardless of how long he was set on Meatloaf it's probably safe to say that it was one of his favorite meals some reports even claim it was an 8mon meatloaf spell rather than six the family's meatloaf recipe may be found in the Presley family cookbook authored by Vernon Presley Elvis father and Nancy Rooks a longtime grcon cook ground beef bread cubes wheat germ minced garlic celery videlia onions eggs salt and pepper are all required in the recipe ground beef is held together in a loaf pan by wheat germ and bread cubes the Presley family's Meatloaf was covered with tomato juice that thickened after cooking as opposed to standard meatloaf recipes that use ketchup it was without a doubt a fan favorite and Rooks frequently prepared the king of rock and rolls meatloaf using this recipe a postcard with a different meatloaf recipe that includes bell pepper crackers in place of bread and wheat germ and ketchup added to the tomato sauce topping is also available from graysun so it appears that the chefs of grund prepared it in two separate ways VB B Pizza BB2 pizza was yet another Memphis dish that Elvis Presley favored Presley particularly likes going to ketas to have BBQ Pizza Pizza wasn't previously on the menu of the Italian restaurant however the restaurant owner sent his son to Chicago to learn how to cook it because military members who had sampled it abroad kept asking for it when the restaurant started serving pizza in the early 1950s it chose to add Memphis Style Bar barue as a southern flare nobody else was selling BBQ pizza at the time according to the restaurant therefore it appears that Keta created this well-known Pizza lastly cheeseburgers
