Gunning Bedford, Sr. (April 7, 1742 â September 30, 1797) was an American lawyer and politician from New Castle, in New Castle County, Delaware. He was an officer in the Continental Army during the American Revolution, and a member of the Federalist Party, who served in the Delaware General Assembly and as Governor of Delaware. He is often confused with his cousin, Gunning Bedford, Jr., who was a delegate to the U.S. Constitutional Convention of 1787.
However, the peanut butter and banana sandwich has been referred to as a favorite of Elvis Presley. Books on Elvis Presleyâs favorite foods and culinary tastes, as well as other published reports on his taste for peanut butter and banana sandwiches with or without bacon, have made the sandwich widely associated with Presley.
But one of Elvisâ very favorite meals was one that couldnât be found just anywhere. In fact, Elvis once had his private jet fly him over 1,000 miles to indulge his craving! That craving was for the Foolâs Gold Loaf, Elvisâ favorite sandwich. The Foolâs Gold Loaf was served by the Colorado Mine Company, a restaurant in Denver, Colorado. On February 1, 1976, Elvis was entertaining two friends from Colorado at Graceland, his home in Memphis, Tennessee.
