News flash: Elvis has been sighted in an infamous Denver sandwich. And also on the hot sauce bottles, and in the memorabilia all over the walls, and in the stories told by Nick Andurlakis, owner of Nick’s Cafe, at 777 Simms Street in Golden.
No fooling.
The notorious sandwich in question? It’s called the Fool’s Gold, and it’s a monster. A hollowed-out loaf of sourdough bread is slathered with margarine, filled with a full jar of creamy peanut butter and another jar of sugary blueberry preserves, topped with a ludicrously wonderful pound of crisped-up bacon, and then buttered up and baked. Elvis Presley was a fan; he once flew out all the way from Memphis just to pick up a sack of the sandwiches. It was, and remains, a treat fit for yeah, we’re going there a King.
