Elvis Presley is most famous for three things: his music, his death, and his diet. His status as The King of Rock and Roll is nearly matched by his reputation as an ardent eater of greasy, homestyle Southern cooking. The food he loved to eat and the distances he traveled to get it made for some of the most infamous Elvis legends. In general, Elvis loved staying in at Graceland to eat, having his favorite meals prepared at home by his cooks for him and his friends.
