Nothing New
| I know it's been a while since I posted anything up. Many reasons for that among them occupational chaos, and it's "All Quiet On The Krystal Front." The occupational chaos has resulted in my office moving about 20 miles which places me on the verge of Burgatory. The following is a map, taken directly from Krystal.com Store Locator. The big yellow dot is where I used to work. The big green dot is where I work now. Coincidently, I live right where the letter M is in Macon at the top of the screen. The red dots are Krystal restaurants. (Please be aware the colored dots and writing are only on the map, they don't show up in the real world.) While I still have ample opportunities to get Krystals on the way home, it appears bringing Krystals to my coworkers will require a minor road trip.  The intersection just a hair's width from the green dot is Houston Lake Rd and Hwy 96. At that intersection is a BP gas station with an attached restaurant called Waffle King (think Waffle House). Waffle King closed a while back, so the place sits for sale and unused. It's already got what it takes to be a restaurant right there. It's a perfect location for a Krystal, similar to the one attached to the Marathon gas station on Hwy 247 (the red dot just north of the yellow dot). Why is this a good location? First off there's no Krystal within 10 miles. While there is a handfull of restaurants nearby, they cannot compare to Krystal. But the best selling point is its proximity to where I work, Middle Georgia Technical College. The big green dot. MGTC has students there from as early as 5 or 6am until as late at 11pm. Hungry students want good food, and Krystal is the ultimate student food. That area of the state is one of the fastest growing in the country, and that intersection in particular is getting bigger every day. (That actual intersection finally finished being expanded, though it took them about 10 years it seems.) And of course my favorite reason to put a Krystal there: it's really close to where I work. No one ever said the Krystal Kid wasn't a little selfish, ya'll! Edit- I almost forgot, another great reason to build near MGTC. The school blocks almost every website known to man on their wireless internet. Making research almost impossible. (I had a speech to do on hockey last week and couldn't do any research since all sorts websites are blocked.) Krystal resaurants are wireless hotspots, so students can escape campus to gather at Krystal to do their research on their laptops, having fun and eating good food, while they study. I know it works, Krystals helped me through my thesis. -End of edit In an effort to boost my nonexistant super suggestion power, I went to Krystal yesterday to recharge with the fabled Chili Cheese Krystal. It's not technically on the menu, but it is available. Krystal will happily put chili and/or cheese on anything you want. I don't advise putting chili or cheese on your Coke or the Lemon icebox pie.    |

So, are you telling me that I can pull up to the drive-though at Krystal and order 4 cheese with chili? What a great thing!
Still, no Jason boxes in Gray, or Milledgeville.

Yup, they can make em. Though I have found the person running the register has to call for help 50% of the time. You can help them by telling them that the chili is on the "Pups menu" which sort of makes sense.
Eating them in the car may be risky, however, as they can sometimes be a bit messy.
