Elvis Presley, the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, was known for his unique culinary preferences, most notably his fondness for peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
A family member recently revealed that Elvis also had a penchant for fast food during his time living at Graceland from 1957 to 1977.
His cousin, Danny Smith, who spent his childhood years at the iconic mansion, was asked on his YouTube channel if Elvis ever indulged in takeout.
The Memphis Mafia Kid confirmed, “Yes he did. A lot of the times Krystal hamburgers was probably one of the main ones. And he had ordered, oh gobs and gobs of them. And everybody up in Graceland would eat on them.”
The popular fast-food chain, established in 1932, is still operational in the Southeastern United States and is renowned for its square sliders with steamed-in onions, reports the Express.
Regarding other fast-food favorites of Elvis, Danny shared, “He ordered McDonald’s, Pancho’s Mexican [Buffet] and so many others. The answer to that is yes he did order from fast foods. Not all the time, but y’know a good portion of the time.”
Pancho’s, a Tex-Mex all-you-can-eat establishment, was first opened in West Memphis in 1956. Unfortunately, as per Commercial Appeal, the last two Memphis branches are due to close as the company shifts its focus to selling Pancho’s cheese dip, which is available in over 1200 stores.
