• Elvis favorite sandwich was honey, banana, bacon and peanut butter sandwich. Hmm, that’s a sandwich we just have to try! We wonder what he’d think about our buffet if he were alive today.

• Elvis is so talented that he’s even got an album of nothing but banter. No, really it’s true. He’s got an album of nothing but stage banter, from in between his concert music sets. The truth is he needed to fulfill an album obligation in 1974, so that was it.
