Origin
There are two accounts about the origins of Fool's Gold Loaf. According to Graeme Wood, Fool's Gold Loaf was created by Cindy and Buck Scott, owner of the Colorado Mine Company restaurant. Wood writes that Elvis got a recipe from Scotts, so his personal chef can make it, but notes that "Fool's Gold Loaf never made recorded recordings".
According to Nick Andurlakis, he helped make sandwiches while he worked at the Colorado Mine Company as a chef and suggested Fool's Gold Loaf to Elvis. Andurlakis claims that he personally sent a sandwich to Elvis on a famous night.
Sandwiches are named to fit the restaurant mining motif. At the time of the famous Elvis outing, Fool's Gold Loaf costs $ 49.95 (equivalent to $ 214.81 in 2017).

Elvis Connection
David Adler's book contains a detailed description of the events that made Gold Loaf bread famous. On the evening of February 1, 1976, Elvis Presley was at his home in Graceland in Memphis, entertaining Captain Jerry Kennedy of the Denver, Colorado, and Ron Pietrafeso police from the Colorado Forced Strike Force. The three men began to discuss the sandwich, and Presley decided he wanted it right then. Presley had been to a restaurant before, while in Denver. Kennedy and Pietrafeso were friends of the owners and often hung out there, so they were driven to Memphis airport and boarded Presley's private jet, Lisa Marie, and flew two hours to Denver. When they arrived at Stapleton International Airport at 1:40 pm, the plane headed to a special hangar where passengers were greeted by Buck Scott, owner of the Colorado Mine Company, and his wife, Cindy, who had brought 22 fresh Fool Gold Loaf for Men. They spent two hours in the hangar eating sandwiches, washing them with Perrier and champagne. Presley invited the pilots, Milo High and Elwood Davis, to join them. When finished, they fly back to Memphis without having to leave Denver airport.
