Elvis Presley loved Southern comfort food and was a big fan of Krystal sliders, tiny burgers topped with mustard, pickles, and onions from Southern fast food chain Krystal.
Famously, in 1954, Presley and DJ "Daddy-O" Dewey Phillips purchased 100 sliders from Krystal, which they then passed out to fans after Presley’s very first radio broadcast.
Krystal's square mini burgers are steam-cooked, with the 100% beef patty sandwiched between a bed of onions and the bun. This cooking method results in a more moist burger.
In addition to the original, the chain sells a double Bacon Cheese and Hangover Krystal. The chain is also known for its chicken sandwiches and "pups" (mini hot dogs.)
