On the Anniversary of Elvis Presley's Death
Today is the 30th anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley, an event marked by a Hajj of Elvis impersonators heading to Memphis.
To mark the occasion, I did a little digging to see what type of connection Mr. Presley might have had with pizza.
There's talk that, during his decline, a good portion of his weight came from pepperoni pizzas—in addition to the fried peanut-butter-and-banana sandwiches he's was famously fond of. But from what I could tell, that's all hearsay. There's no way to know if Elvis truly was fond of spicy pepperoni pies.
I did find Elvis Pizza in Rushcutters Bay, Australia, which features Friday and Saturday Elvis impersonator shows each week. Book in advance, kids.
After the jump, Elvis retrofitted into a Pizza Hut commercial.
