This one is easy! I don't think he'd be happier with anything but real Southern BBQ (noun, not a verb), cooked low and slow over wood charcoal and using an assortment of woods for the smoke.

I'll serve fried green tomatoes, mini cheddar bisquits with brown sugar baked bacon, marinated shrimp, and gingery spring rolls first. Big galvanized ice filled buckets will contain glass bottles of Pepsi, orange Nehi, hard cider, beer, and water. Ice tea and fruit water available from jugs.

A nice sized pork shoulder can take up to 8 hours, a task considered essential. The result is a deeply blackened roast that falls apart when you move it from the grill to a platter for chopping. I'd make my usual sauce, tomato and vinegar, sweetened with molasses and honey, with a tad of this and a bit of that. It's thinner than anything from a bottle.

We'll have the pulled pork, slabs of ribs, and some chicken.

Sides would include pinto beans and collards, stewed together with a pig knuckle; my cole slaw, chopped green salad, roasted ears of corn, corn bread, homemade yeast rolls, southern potato salad, mac and cheese. I'd have pickles, lots of sauce on the side (hot and mild) for sandwiches, fresh sliced veggies from the garden.

Hmmmm, dessert. Probably a peanut butter and chocolate pie, icy cold watermelon, coconut macaroons.

Elvis would need to visit in the summer. I'd have picnic tables with white linen tablecloths, but rolls of paper towels for the sticky fingers! Lots of fun to decorate with lanterns, twinkling lights, and my garden is full of flowers for mason jar arrangements. Pint jars, wrapped with raffia bows, and filled with flowers can be taken home by the guests.

Sheesh, I am getting waay too into these fantasies. Audrey, you should select someone from another part of the country or world for the next dinner party.

Keep playing my list is diverse lol

OMG, my Mom would come back from heaven to be at this dinner. She was a huge Elvis fan.

I too, would have to host Elvis in the summer. Dinner would be slow smoked ribs and bbq rib eye steaks. Potato salads, macaroni salads, a marinated veggie salad, corn on the cob dripping with butter. Pickled cukes and onions, dill pickles, corn relish, mustard beans and pickled beets, all from my canning pantry. For dessert, lots of pies, apple, cherry, rhubarb, Saskatoon, peach, maybe a chocolate cream one. Lots of cold beer.

Like Rhizo, it would be in the back yard, food laid out on buffet tables. We'd eat by the pond and waterfall. As the sun set, we'd set the yard a twinkling with bliss lights, light a fire and he would sing until dawn. Love to hear all his gospel songs!

I have heard Elvis had simple tastes and never liked anything too spicy or exotic. So my menu would introduce him to Jiffy Burgers, bacon cheese burgers with a dollop of peanut butter. I also have country fried potatoes, a platter of fresh fruits, fresh green beans with bacon and onion and a mixed green salad. Coconut layer cake for dessert, Pepsi to drink.

Knowing that Elvis was a picky eater, I would have ordered cheese pizza from Dominoes because that is what I get for all of my kid's friends who are picky eaters. ;p
