Elvis Presley’s Hot Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich

Category: Sandwich
Rating: Good

Out of all publications Gourmet magazine actually had an article about his infamous desire for odd and unhealthy foods, which led to his later year’s physique. You can see I made a half sandwich and ate it over two days to spread out the butter intake. The other recipe in the article was for pound cake.
