&nbsp;Because when he made his entrance in his Mustard yellow double breasted suit, you &nbsp;couldn&#8217;t help but notice every detail; loafers with no socks, suit with no shirt but a carpet chest that made up for it. &nbsp;He had the hair, the side burns, gold necklace and the seventies style square rimmed sunglasses that Elvis bloomed in full season, and he was smoking a six inch cigar the size of quarter. &nbsp;With that kind of image burned in my mind, how would I ever forget?<\/p>\n<p>Long story short, this guy, Mr. number one Elvis impersonator, with awards all over his wall to prove it, made me a Bloody Mary in a 10 inch Mug that literally was the Bomb! &nbsp;I don&#8217;t know what he was using, I didn&#8217;t see how he made it, but this Bloody Mary was hands down the best Vodka induced drink I have ever had the pleasure to wrap my hands around. &nbsp;Nothing since has ever compared. &nbsp;That is until I found &#8220;Zing Zang&#8221;!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last time I was in Las Vegas, I ended up leaving my $400 a night hotel, The Mirage, for what I was told was an all you can eat Sushi Bar. &nbsp;Many times over, have I learned not to trust freinds of &#8220;friends&#8221;, and WOW, was this one of those times. &nbsp;All we had [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1256,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"categories":[187,222,366,221,1],"tags":[368,370,373,374,372,369,375,376,371,367],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/devsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/928"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/devsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/devsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/devsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/devsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=928"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/devsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/928\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4684,"href":"https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/devsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/928\/revisions\/4684"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/devsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/devsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=928"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/devsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=928"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/poormansgourmetkitchen.com\/devsite\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=928"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
