  "account": "Elvis Presley, the iconic King of Rock and Roll, had a favorite meal during his time serving in the US Army from 1958 to 1960 at Fort Hood, Texas. After leaving the military, he continued to enjoy this dish by visiting Cupp’s Drive-Inn, a classic drive-in restaurant in Waco, Texas. The restaurant, known for its limited seating, has been serving Elvis' go-to meal, a double cheeseburger with bacon, for over six decades. Today, the burger still costs $10.49, a modest price for a taste of Elvis' history. The restaurant remains a local favorite, frequently visited by college students, lifelong residents, and visitors to the nearby Magnolia Market. Elvis Aaron Presley, born on January 8, 1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi, became a global sensation with his music and acting career, selling over one billion records worldwide.",
