"Elvis loved our ribs. However, he never came to The Rendezvous. Elvis always wanted to rent the whole place out and my father didn't want to lose customers so he refused."
"Instead, we would courier our ribs out to Graceland for Elvis to enjoy. Before the days of DoorDash and Uber Eats, this was quite a special delivery."
Elvis Presley had a strong affinity for the ribs at Charlie Vergos' Rendezvous, a renowned barbecue restaurant in Memphis. Despite his love for the food, he never dined there in person. The restaurant's founder's son explained that Presley wanted to rent the entire venue for privacy, which the restaurant could not accommodate. Instead, they arranged for the ribs to be delivered to Graceland, allowing Presley to enjoy his favorite meal in the comfort of his home.
