Elvis Presley first discovered the sandwich during a tour stop near Denver, Colorado. The Fool’s Gold Loaf was the specialty of the Colorado Gold Mine Company Steakhouse in the Denver suburb of Glendale. It was a mammoth sandwich that Nick Andurlakis, who worked at the restaurant, described as a “ginormous, artery-hardening contraption” (via The Denver Gazette).

The ingredients were simple: a hollowed-out Italian loaf filled with an entire jar of peanut butter, an entire jar of jelly, and a pound of bacon. The serving size of Elvis’ favorite sandwich was the whole loaf, and the cost was $49.95, or the equivalent of nearly $275 today. One late night in February 1976, Elvis just had to have another one. Being Elvis, he and his entourage flew to Denver from Memphis to quench his desire for the hunk a hunk a burnin’ love in sandwich form. They arrived in Colorado at 1:40 a.m. to feast on somewhere between 20 and 30 of the sandwiches — washed down with a case of champagne — at the airport before flying back to Memphis.
