ITINERARY<\/p>\n
\u2013 Government Street Grocery (Meeting Point) \u2014 We kick off with meatloaf and mashed potatoes \u2014 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\u2019s summer on the Coast while you dig in. Cocktail pairing: TBD<\/p>\n
\u2013 The Garage at Cash Alley \u2014 The dish that needs no introduction. Elvis\u2019s all-time favorite was a peanut butter-banana-bacon sandwich, this version fried in bacon grease \u2014 rich, indulgent, and utterly Southern. Cocktail pairing: Screwdriver<\/p>\n
\u2013 Mosaic Restaurant \u2014 A double-bacon cheeseburger is right in the King\u2019s wheelhouse. Cheeseburgers were among Elvis\u2019s well-documented favorites, alongside the Southern comfort foods he grew up craving. Cocktail pairing: Blue Suede Sidecar<\/p>\n
\u2013 The Lady May (End Point) \u2014 A sweet, decadent finish, just as Elvis would have wanted. Beyond his savory obsessions, banana pudding, icebox cake, and rich Southern desserts were beloved staples at Graceland. Cocktail pairing: The Elvis Whiskey Cold Brew<\/p>\n
