Place 3 bacon slices on top of the banana, then place the remaining buttered bread slices on top, butter-side-out.

THE ELVIS PRESLEY

Steps:

• For the peanut puree: Place the peanuts in 1/4 cup of peanut oil in a small saute pan and heat for 3 minutes at low heat. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth.
• For the bread: Mix eggs, vanilla and heavy cream together in a bowl. Dip banana bread into the mixture. Melt butter in a nonstick pan and cook banana bread for 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Place bread on a paper towel and reserve.
• For the bananas: Cut bananas into quarters and dip into the same egg mixture as above, then roll the bananas in the bread crumbs until well covered. In a nonstick pan, heat 1/4 cup of peanut oil until nearly smoking and fry bananas until golden brown, remove from oil and place on a paper towel as well.
• For assembly: Spread both sides of banana bread with peanut puree and layer with the fried bananas. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of honey. Close the sandwich and slice.

AUTHENTIC ELVIS BURGERS

Steps:

• Divide ground beef into 4 patties, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and set aside.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels and keep warm. Cook onion in the bacon drippings until lightly browned, about 10 minutes, stirring often; sprinkle with sugar during frying if desired. Set onion aside.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Open hamburger buns and place onto a baking sheet with cut sides up; toast under the broiler until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Set buns aside.
• Pan fry ground beef patties in the same skillet as onions until browned and the juices run clear, 5 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of a burger should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Place a slice of Cheddar cheese onto each patty and allow cheese to melt.
• To assemble, spread peanut butter onto bottom halves of buns; spread ketchup onto top halves. Top the peanut butter with pickle slices, cooked onion, burgers with cheese, a slice of bacon, several tomato slices, and about 1/4 cup shredded lettuce per sandwich.
