Have you ever wondered what sandwich Elvis Presley would consider his favorite? The King of Rock ’n’ Roll has made the “Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich” so famous it’s now known as the “Elvis Sandwich.” Millions of people visit Elvis’s home, Graceland, in Memphis, Tennessee every year and the Elvis Sandwich is a fan favorite on local menus. Daniel Clark, director of food and beverages at Graceland, demonstrated how to make this scrumptious snack on the official Graceland Instagram (@visitgraceland)! So, turn up Elvis tunes and give Dave’s recipe for the “Elvis Sandwich” a try:
