Itinerary
Start: Government Street Grocery
We kick off with meatloaf and mashed potatoes — fitting, since Priscilla Presley once revealed Elvis ate exactly this every single night for six straight months. Your guide will set the scene for Elvis's summer on the Coast while you dig in.
Optional cocktail pairing: Velvet Elvis
The Garage at Cash Alley
The dish that needs no introduction. Enjoy the deep-fried peanut butter-banana-bacon sandwich — rich, indulgent, and utterly Southern.
Optional cocktail pairing: Screwdriver with fresh squeezed oranges
Mosaic Restaurant
Enjoy the Elvis burger, a double-bacon cheeseburger right in the King's wheelhouse. Cheeseburgers were among Elvis's well-documented favorites, alongside the Southern comfort foods he grew up craving.
Optional cocktail pairing: Banana Old Fashioned
End: The Lady May
A sweet, decadent finish, just as Elvis would have wanted. Enjoy the Velvet Elvis Waffle.
Optional cocktail pairing: The Elvis Whiskey Cold Brew
