Elvis Presley’s Legendary Midnight Sandwich Run on his Private Jet

[Meanderer]

"On the night of February 1, 1976, Elvis Presley took his private jet from Graceland to Denver and back in one night because he was craving an 8,000 calorie sandwich made from a hollowed out loaf filled with an entire jar of peanut butter, one jar of jelly, and a pound of bacon. Not your average snack, priced at $50, this is the story of how the Fool’s Gold Loaf became the Elvis Presley of sandwiches, King of the PB&Js…"

Sometimes I wish I had a private jet to fly to NY for a good pizza pie. Elvis must've been a big fan of sweet and savory.

Entire jar of PB & J plus Bacon...Gross :eeew:. haha

But I WOULD travel in a private jet from NC to VA for a piece of Princess Cake
Sponge Cake with a Bavarian Cream filling and covered with a thin sweet white Marzipan.

It was Elvis' hunger for normalcy that "drove" him to Nicks!

This is Nick’s Cafe, drab on the outside, unremarkable. But signs let you know the stories inside are anything but.

“PARKING FOR ELVIS,” reads one. “VIOLATORS WILL BE SHOOK UP.

I read that he also loved bananas fried in butter as a sandwich filling.
