Two ways to make this- traditional sandwich, called the Velvet elvis at the former Deli Haus, and my modified way I used to share with a tall radheaded waitress I befriended from there....


Traditional-

Lightly butter up two sides of white bread.

Mash up a banana or two into a pulpy spread.

Spread peanut butter on each, slice, with a layer of the Banana mash in the middle.

Fry it up as if you were cooking a grilled cheese.

Enjoy.

My way-

Lightly butter up two sides of white bread or sour dough bread (light rye will work in a pinch, too).

Slice up a banana or two into wafer-thin slices.

Spread peanut butter on each, slice, with a layer of the Banana slices in the middle.

Fry up a few slices of bacon- I prefer medium/chewy, but crispy is fine, too.

Stuff these in the middle of the sandwich.

Fry it up as if you were cooking a grilled cheese.

Enjoy.


For the ultra original Deli Haus of Kenmore experience, wash it down with a Guinness float- recipe elsewhere.

sounds good. except i'd leave out the butter and the bananas, and just have a peanutbutter smamish.

Okay, no butter or bananas, but how about the bacon?

Wasnt that concoction the reason for his growth spurt?
