Discover the flavor of a destination through regional specialties, food-centric fun and culinary traditions. Here are five tasty ideas for families to consider:

1. Memphis, Tenn.

A visit to this Southern gem may well include a stop at Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley, long ago crowned the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. Not only did the Memphis Flash love music, but his passion for creative comfort food was no secret. Not far from his legendary digs you'll find the Arcade Restaurant, a 50’s style, family-owned diner that serves up Elvis favorites including his go-to sandwich comprised of fried peanut butter and banana on Texas toast. Bacon is always optional.
