GOLDEN — If you love Elvis Presley, you’ll certainly love Nick’s Cafe in Golden. Aside from serving out food, the diner also acts as a tribute to ‘The King’.
“He’s probably the kindest person I’ve ever met,” recalled Nick Andurlakis, owner of the cafe.
Nick first met Elvis when he was 16 years-old. He was working at a Colorado steakhouse when some visitors asked if they could bring in a special guest.
“One night they called me up and said, ‘We have a very special man coming in… he’s doing a show here in town,” he said. “I looked and said, ‘God, that looks like Elvis’ and the guy says, ‘That is Elvis,’ and so I got to meet him that night”.
A teenage Nick suggested to Elvis a Peanut Butter & Jelly with Bacon sandwich. ‘The King’ tried it and loved it. It also sparked a pretty neat friendship!
