Ugly Steak and Mashed Potatoes

This book is great - it's by a guy that set out to eat what Elvis ate and write a book about it. He's a guy about 27, David Adler, and he did it all - went to his elementry school, went to the army barracks Elvis stayed at - and the best - went to Pauline Nicholson's house (Elvis' night cook) and pauline fixed him one of Elvis' favorite meals - ugly steak and mash potatos. You have to see this book! If you find it, goto page 66 first and check out the picture titled "Pauline, me, and Hunt's Ketchup" - it is classic! This Adler guy is a genius!

EXCELLENT

This book is unique. Similiar to an Errol Morris documentary about the down home peculiarities of American culture. Adler generates interesting insights into the King's psychological and social makeup. Very entertaining. A must have for gourmands, Elvis fans and scholars of American pop culture.

Weird Elvis

Elvis was a very strange but interesting individual, this predominantly cookbook describes his culinary desires. Not exactly healthy heart recipes. Elvis was basically always a truck driver from Tupelo Mississippi. His life was tragic and very misunderstood.
