Fool's Gold Loaf

This is a story about Elvis.

One night, probably sometime in the 60s, Elvis had a craving for a sandwich that he could only get at a certain restaurant in Colorado. The craving was so profound, that he and some friends decided to charter a jet from Memphis to Denver, because you can afford to do that when you're the King.

The sandwich, called Fool's Gold Loaf, is a bargain at just $50, considering that it could feed 6-8 average people (or, presumably, one King). In layman's terms, the recipe is as follows:

*Take one entire loaf of Italian bread, butter the outside, and toast in the oven.
*Cut the bread in half longways. Spread one side generously with peanut butter; the other, jelly.
*Fry a pound of bacon.
*Put the bacon in between the peanut-butter- and jelly-coated bread.

Last week, my brothers made this sandwich and shared the love. It's oddly good, in the way that chocolate-covered pretzels and french fries dipped in milkshake are good. I mean, I can see why it might justify chartering a jet.

I've never really cared for chocolate covered pretzels, or french fries dipped in chocolate shake.....I'll just assume my reaction to the sammich would be the same.
