Discover Elvis’ Favorite Fast Food Burger: A Delicious Dive into His Culinary Cravings!

Elvis Presley was famous not just for his music, but also for his love of food. He was known for indulging in Southern comfort meals. One of his favorite treats was the Fool’s Gold Loaf. This gigantic sandwich was made from a whole loaf of Italian bread, jars of peanut butter and jelly, and crispy bacon. Elvis once flew across states just to enjoy it!

But Elvis didn’t just crave giant sandwiches. He also adored Krystal sliders—small burgers topped with mustard, pickles, and onions from the Southern fast-food chain, Krystal. He was known to share these sliders with fans and friends. In fact, after his first radio show in 1954, Elvis and a DJ named Dewey Phillips bought 100 sliders to give out to excited fans.

Krystal sliders are similar to White Castle burgers. Both chains offer small burgers, but Krystal sliders come with mustard by default. Elvis likely preferred Krystal because it was based in Tennessee, where he lived, and it had more locations than White Castle in his area.

These square sliders are cooked with steam, which keeps the patties moist. Krystal offers various options like double patties, cheese, and even a special Hangover Krystal with a fried egg. If you’re feeling hungry, you can get a Krystal Sackful with 12 sliders or an Original Steamer Pack with 24.

Beyond sliders, Krystal has chicken sandwiches, mini hot dogs, and a breakfast menu. While the fries get mixed reviews, the chili-topped ones are a favorite among some customers.
