The last thing chef Mary Jenkins Langston ever cooked for Presley was a cheeseburger.

The King could never be accused of having a pretentious palette. And we would definitely admire his preference for simple foods if the foods were actually simple. Yes, Elvis Presley loved bologna and BBQ sauce, but he made them too rich (at least in our opinion). Whatever happened to the original bologna sandwich? According to Presley, it just wasn’t good enough.

According to a 2001 NPR broadcast, Presley always kept soda stocked in his fridge.His favorite kinds were Pepsi, Nesbitt’s Orange, and Shasta Black Cherry. The singer even reportedly tried to slim down by eating nothing but bananas and jellied Shasta Black Cherry for weeks.

Hot dogs just seem like the ultimate summer barbecue food staple. We’re not so sure we love everything that goes into most hot dogs (it’s like a meat mashup), but they sure taste great after charring on the grill.Elvis Presley would likely agree with us, but he also likes to add sauerkraut to his links.

Note for his future wife: Elvis loves enormous breakfasts complete with sausage, bacon, eggs, fried potatoes, home-baked rolls, and coffee. He has a tremendous appetite at breakfast. His wife should never develop elegant or expensive tastes.

If Elvis was attending a party, there better be some party meatballs on the appetizer table.These scrumptious little bites were just meatballs wrapped in… you guessed it: Bacon! Presley’s longtime chef, Mary Jenkins Langston, said her employer loved rich and decadent foods.

When Presley really had a hankering for peanut butter, he ordered a Fool’s Gold Loaf from the now-closed Colorado Mine Company in Denver.This thing was a mammoth, hollowed-out sourdough loaf stuffed with an entire jar of jelly, an entire jar of peanut butter, and a whopping pound of bacon.

Everyone knew Elvis loved the classic peanut butter and banana sandwich combo.He wouldn’t stop at just peanut butter and banana, though. Sometimes the King would throw a couple of slices of bacon on there, as well.
