Lets get Square at the Fair!
| In case you haven't been paying attention, the Krystal Square Off qualifying tour has been going for a while and there's been some amazing results so far. Much like last year, Humble Bob is putting up amazing numbers, and last weekend in Atlanta, Pat Bertoletti blew the previous qualifier record away with 85 Krystals, the third highest total ever. (And if you hurry, Brian, there's a great picture of Pat with Krystal Kitty on the Square Off Web Page.) I have decided that tomorrow will be the official "unofficial Wilmington, NC Krystal Square Off Qualifier" hosted by me at an undisclosed location in my kitchen. I do realize that I have an unfair advantage given that:
Next weekend happens to be "Fall Break" where I work. It coincides with the Azalea Festival here in Wilmington. "Fall Break" means "Friday off" but since I always get Friday off, it's not that special. However I will be taking advantage of the long weekend to get out of here once again. It's going to be a big weekend. The same weekend, the Square Off will be returning to Perry, Georgia, and the Georgia National Fair. The first set of dates posted on the Square Off site listed the 5th (Fri) to the 7th (Sun) as the dates, but like last year they have added Thursday the 4th in, too. At first I felt I could make it, barely, if I left immediately after work on Thursday. But since then I have been scheduled for a class on that Thursday afternoon that wont be done until 4pm. Yes, college profs have to take classes too. If you work in the medical or heath care field, you know all about "HIPPA." In fact if you GO to a doctor or dentist you should know about HIPPA. (And no that's not a large aquatic mammal in snazzy clothes.) Well for schools, we have FERPA. Basically FERPA says we can't share educational records with anyone except the student without the student's prior written permission. So mommy and daddy cannot call me and ask what junior made on the test. Well I suppose they CAN call and ask, but I will tell them to ask junior. FERPA is lawsuit sort of stuff, so I can't skip class. (And skipping class is a bad bad thing, kiddies!) So with that said, I will probably be leaving right at 4 on Thursday and with the 7 hour drive I will arrive super late at night. But not too late for a late night Thursday Krystal run!! Friday the Square Off doesn't start until 5pm, so I will spend the morning in Macon and Warner Robins visiting with friends. Krystal Sunrisers for breakfast, I think. (If you'll be available during the day on Friday and want to catch up with me, email me.) I will certainly be stopping by my Krystal on Vineville Ave to see Bernida and the gang. I have a new recipe I want to try out, and where better to give it a swing? Wanna come have Krystals with me for Friday's lunch? Email me! Friday evening, it's to the fair. See the Krystal folks, Kenny, Brad, Kitty, Keith, etc. I also hope to eat some burgers and get another t-shirt, even though I look rather horrid in yellow. (If you call me "Big Bird" or "School Bus" I'll kick you in the knee.) Saturday, while the fair and Square Off are in full force in Perry, I'll be heading down to Vienna (after a Krystal Scrambler for breakfast) for the Big Pig Jig, and an ATO alumni event. Brotherhood and Barbecue. Can it get any better? Well sure it can! That's why I'll be bringing my own barbecue sauce! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it! After the Pig Jig I might hit the fair again, or go visit with more friends in the area. Sunday morning I hope to sleep in, but not so long I miss the Deluxe Breakfast at Krystal! Then I head back to the fair for the Regional Square Off Finals at 4pm. Then it's back on the road to Wilmington, with a stop in Pooler, GA, to restock my Krystal supply and stuff some chili pups and chiks down my throat. While I was planning this road trip, I had hoped to stay up near Macon. But I reconsidered after I read this article yesterday: View Larger Map Given recent events, I believe I will be stayin in Byron, GA this trip. It's a nice central location between Perry, Vienna, and Macon. Plus I'll be smelling distance away from a Krystal and Hotlanta Wings (great wings and the a great Philly Cheesesteak). The reason to go through all this trouble? Well sadly, the Square Off Finals this year are on a Sunday. I teach class at 9am on Monday. Throw in the 8 or 9 hour drive between Chattanooga and Wilmington, and the fact the Square Off will end at 5pm, and I think you see my problem. I will be there in spirit, and I will be glued to my TV, but sadly, I will not be there in person. Were you counting how many time I'll be eating at Krystals on my trip? Can you tell I'm missing FRESH, hot, small, square burgers? Oh it's gonna be a good trip. Except for the South Carolina part.  |

Wagons Ho!!
| This will be my last post before the move. As soon as I am done with this short post I disassemble the computer for transport. My folks arrived yesterday afternoon and we went up Krystal for a late lunch. Yummy! (4 cheese Krystals, 2 chiks, and fries for me, "plenty" of Krystals for my father and Chili Cheese Pups for my mother). Today will be a busy day, including hopefully a breakfast run to Krystal. Perhaps to introduce my father to the Scrambler. We get the truck at 3 and load up, we're at a hotel in macon tonight. Tomorrow bright and early, we roll out of Macon. Instead of going through Augusta, we're going to go down to Savannah and then up. It's all interstate that way and easier to drive in a big truck. The "Burgatory Border" that way is the Krystal in Pooler, GA. So I'll grab a 24 Krystal Steamer pack there to last me til the end of July, when I'll return to GA for the Emily's Toybox concert in Brunswick. So until probably Monday when my internet gets hooked up, I bid you wonderful days, and I will see you again from the Krystal Adventures forward outpost in Burgatory, NC.

Lockjaw and Brain Freeze
| Big news out of the competitive eating world. With the upcoming July 4th Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest things just got interesting. Earlier this year, in a qualifier, Joey "Jaws" Chestnut broke Kobayashi's record, setting up a big showdown for this years finals. But this afternoon, the news broke that Kobayashi is having chewing trouble. Apparently he is suffering from "arthritic jaw" and may not be able to defend his title. While this opens the door for several competitors to win back the title, I think they all would agree that winning it without actually beating Kobayashi sort of cheapens the win. I do hope this injury is not the competitive eating equivalent to a race horse breaking his leg. Cause as you know, they shot Barbaro. (Ok, so they didn't REALLY shoot him, but in the old days they would have.) No matter where your eating loyalties may be, I think we all hope Kobayashi gets well soon. But, if they have to wire his jaws shut to recover, I wonder if he can set the world record for soup? Now if you somehow want to show your sympathy for Kobayashi and his aching jaw, might I suggest a brain freeze? How about a FREE brain freeze? If you haven't been active on the Krystal.com Krystal Lovers Lounge, or on Krystal Lover's Myspace Page then you're missing out on some deals. I have already enjoyed a FREE scrambler for breakfast. I am currently jamming to some FREE tunes I downloaded, again thanks to Krystal. (It happens to be Under The Influence Of Giants.) This week, in addition to some energy saving tips, they also are giving away coupons for a FREE Milkquake! That ultra tasty milkshake that uses REAL ice cream, REAL milk, and a heavy dose of whipped cream on top if you want. I have tried all three flavors (vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry) and they're all quite good. I must agree with Tiffany, though, Strawberry rules. So this 4th of July, to heck with all that grillin'. It's hot outside. Hit Krystal and grab some little steamers (and let them man the grill for ya) and don't forget to pick up the free MilkQuake. Or I have another option. Save your coupon and bring it to my going away party on July the 5th (5:30 pm). Get yourself some Krystals or Chiks and a MilkQuake. I'll bring the Doritos to put on your Krystal, so you can see I am right: it is awesome. As an added bonus, it appears my friend Jen, who went on the cruise with me last September, will also be joining me from Florida for the going away party. So come on up, enjoy some food, participate in "Krystal Thursday" and Jennifer can confirm I really did eat a 4 day old, unrefrigerated Krystal while out at sea. I also have a friend who has never had a Krystal who may also make an appearance. Its sad I have to MOVE to get them to Krystal, but better late than never! I may also bring some of my Krystal Kollection, if it hasn't all been packed for the move by then. I'd offer to bring some Loganberry, but of course I am hoarding all of it I can get! Again, if you're going to come to the party, please call or email me so I can let Bernida know how many are coming. If we get enough, I bet there will be cake! And I can't think of anything better to go with a REAL ice cream MilkQuake and CAKE! |

Square Peg, Round Hole
Obviously, Krystal has a thing for squares.
Now here's where Krystal throws a curve. (Get it? A curve? Oh, yeah, you dont get the joke, yet.) All my life I have heard the saying about the "Square peg" and the "Round hole." Now why the hole is round and not the peg, I do not know. However, I struggled for years to understand the problem. If the square peg wont fit in the round hole, get a bigger hole or a smaller peg. Or get a sturdy knife and whittle the corners off the peg. But then I always was one to think outside the box (square, whatever). Well, somehow, thru the power of the Krystal the square peg round hole situation has been resolved. At breakfast. OK, run to Krystal right now (while they're still serving breakfast) and order a Sausage Gravy Scrambler combo. It comes with a side of Kryspers or a biscuit. Get the biscuit. Also order a Sunriser on the side. Or, you could just enjoy mine:  The sausage gravy scrambler comes in a bowl, a ROUND bowl. And yet, we have shown the biscuits are square. The scrambler is made by placing half the square biscuit on the bottom of the round bowl, then putting sausage on top of that, and then a heavy helping of real sausage gravy. Finally the square biscuit top if placed last. So yes there are squares in the circle. Now let's back up and address the sausage. The Sunriser is square and that means the egg, cheese and sausage on it are also square. Square Eggs? Well that's another story. The square sausage is the important part. Krystal has square sausage.  To show that Krystal has mastered not only the mini-burger world, but the world of geometry. So take that Pythagoras! (And for the record, I have been called a square on more than one occasion in my life.) |

Yummy.. breakfast!
| Do you remember, as a kid, waking up on Saturday morning and wandering into the kitchen, while rubbing the sleep out of your eyes. You were flooded by the delicious aroma of bacon and sausage. And there was your dad, spatula in hand, asking "how do you want your eggs?" Well, when you get to be my age, you pretty much give up any hopes of that happening anymore. If I want a delicious bacon smell in the kitchen, I have to cook the bacon. No one asks me how I want me eggs, because I know I'll be cooking my own eggs. Growing up kinda stinks. Where's the rewind button on the VCR of life? (I guess by saying VCR of life I am sort of showing my age, as well, eh?) Anyway, if you long for the days of having someone cook breakfast for you and actually ask you how you want your eggs, there's no need to fear. Krystal has ya covered. Normally when I have breakfast at Krystal I am on the way to somewhere else, usually work. So it's Sunrisers, or rarely the Scrambler. But with my goofy work schedule lately I am finding myself up at freakishly early times in the morning on Saturday and Sunday. We're talking 4:30 or 5am. When you wake up that early and you're hungry as a bear, there's really only one option:  When you go to other places for breakfast, you pick whats on the menu or you go away. Go to McDonalds and ask for 3 fried eggs, a biscuit, and 2 strips of bacon and you'll most likely have to speak to a manager. At Krystal they ring it up and ask what you'd like to drink. Hard to believe these days that a "fast food place" would "slow down" for breakfast. But then again, homemade breakfast has been a cornerstone for Krystal since they started. And come to think of it, homemade breakfast has been a cornerstone of mine ever since I started, too! Just a small editorial note: this week KrystalAdventure will be featuring a mini-series on our delicious little friend, the pig, in honor of Charlotte's Web and it's award winning actress, Dakota Fanning who also happens to be from Conyers, GA, where I grew up.  |

I love Krystal Thursday
| This morning as I woke up I really only had one thing on my mind: It's Krystal Thursday, and Krystal has a new combo meal. I saw it last week when I bought my Saucy Chiks. It's the new Cheese Lover Combo (#5 on the menu). I also noted last week that it's a big one: five Cheese Krystals, Chili Cheese Fries, and a Medium Drink. With this feast in mind, I took it easy all day today. No breakfast. Chicken teriyaki for lunch. (As we all know if you eat Chinese, you're hungry again in an hour or two.) So for dinner it was straight to Krystal. With thoughts of chili and cheese all day long I knew it would be a good day. But you can never underestimate the power of a Krystal, let alone a Cheese Krystal. While teaching my morning FOD (Foreign Object Damage) and DOP (Dropped Object Prevention) class several of the examples we use in class and the stories we regularly hear will terrify you and make you immediately move as far away from any Airport or Airbase on Earth. But I have no fear. Krystal and Cheesy deliciousness await! As I pull in to krystal I am greeting by little Vanessa, the Yellow Shirt customer service Queen. Sonja is running the grill and we discuss the new saucy chiks. It seems the Buffalo are most popular followed closely by the BBQ. But I'm not interested in Chiks tonight. (OK that didn't sound quite right, did it?) I tell Vanessa I want the new Cheese Lover's combo. I've been dreaming about it all day and I am ready. A few moments later and I have both hands full of hot steamy goodness.  But that's not all. While at Krystal I again ran into my friend Michael, the regional manager. This is about the 2nd time in three weeks I have run into him at Krystal. Of course I got to see Vanessa and Sonja again. Always fun. Upon arriving home I got some good news in the mail, too, but sadly I can't share that new with you just yet. I also got word from Ron at BuffaloFoods.com that if he gets enough requests for Cronfelt's Loganberry Syrup he'll start offering it. (Hint Hint) They used to carry Aunt Rosie's Syrup and still carry Rosie's in a can. Double Yummy! So as we wind our way into the long weekend, things are looking bright and sunny around here. I suspect this weekend I'll be able to make it for a Scrambler one morning. I've missed those lately. But with all this Krystal talk I am getting hungry again. Now where did I leave those last 2 Cheese Krystals??! |

Beautiful Sunrise!
| So my new working hours are 6:00am to 3pm. Certainly the early quitting time is nice, however, waking up before the newspaper arrives is no fun. One perk I have found though is, on the occasions when I am running ahead of schedule, I pass a Krystal on the way to work, and they're open 24 hours a day. in the past that wouldn't be a shocking statement, since Krystal used to be open 24 hours a day all the time. Sadly, now that isn't always true. Anyway, last week as I was zipping down Highway 247 (or I call it the Warner Robins Road Race) I realized I had a bit of free time so I swung into Krystal for some breakfast. Since I needed to get back on the road, I decided that a Scrambler wouldn't do. I opted for the Sunrisers. The #1 breakfast combo to be exact: 2 Sunrisers, hash brown Kryspers, and an OJ. (I don't drink coffee, but I have been told Krystal's new Columbian coffee is yummy. It does smell nice!). It wasn't til I had stuffed both Sunrisers down that I realized, I finally had the "missing" boxes from my collection. If you recall, Krystal is undergoing a face lift, and the box designs are all changing. I got the Regular, Special, and Cheese Krystal boxes a long time back. Then I got the Double Krystal (which also "Doubles" as the Double Cheese Krystal box). Finally I got the new Chik box. I tried for a new Sunriser box a couple of times but it never panned out. Finally, though, I now have em:   I know they've redone the drink cups and the frech fry cups. I guess about all that's left is the styrofoam containers used for Chili Pups and Chili Cheese Fries. They's also redone the menu and reorganized a couple of the combo meals. There's a new Combo, I think it is #5, the extreme Cheese Combo meal. It's like 5 cheese Krystal, Chili Cheese Fries, and a Drink. That's a lot of food. I'm gonna have to work up to that one, I think. |

A merry Krystal day
| Well we're swiftly rolling into "Santa-Time" and that means I'll be taking some time away from home, work, Krystal Kountry, and this blog. Like last year I'll be spending Christmas with my [extended] family up at my brother's house in VA. Since that's deep into Burgatory, I'll have to bring some along. Thankfully, unlike customs and the cruise lines, I won't be frisked or X-rayed upon arrival. Well, at least I hope not! Current plans are to leave Macon on Saturday for my grandmother's house. (Please hold all red riding hood jokes to yourself.) Sunday my parents arrive to pick my grandmother and I up, then it's off to my brother's house. I'll be there for a week and then the process goes in reverse. Lots of road time, but thankfully I'm only driving about 6 hours each direction, and riding the rest of the time. I will be able to check email and perhaps hit the blog while I am at my brothers. But since it's VACATION I doubt I'll be thinking much about posting. So you go enjoy your holidays and we'll regroup here in January. K? Lots of things have been changing around here lately. I have officially moved back to the base for work, which is where I was prior to April of this year. I'll be back in the classroom most every day, which is good. Sadly, I'll be in the classroom starting at 6am every day. The up side is that I'll be done by 3pm every day. Plus there's a Krystal on my way to and from work, and since they're cooking breakfast early, I can zip thru for a Scrambler even at 5:30am! Today was a busy Krystal day for me. Dinner was the #3, three Chiks, fries and a Coke. I also picked up a few extra items to finish tweaking a recipe. I'll be posting that one up after the new year, but just to get your taste buds going, think Mexican! I'll be running the recipe by my sister in law who is a real chef to see if she's got any ideas, and then recruit my brother's assistance in naming the creation, since he speaks spanish, and about 20 other languages. (The only thing I can say in Spanish is that I don't speak Spanish. It's actually very easy: "I don't speak Spanish." It works best if you say it loud and veerrryyy slllloooowwwllllyyyyy.) While purchasing dinner I got to use my Krystal Gift Card that I bought last week, and Bernida was right there. I was the "guinea pig" for buying the card and then today for using the card, as Bernida gathered everyone around to show them how to ring them up. So as you can see, I am unable to get away from the education field. Some times you're the student, some times you're the teacher, and some times you're the lab rat. While at Krystal I ran into my friend Michael who is a regional manager. Michael was at my induction ceremony, and the Square Off in Perry, and I have run into him on several occasions at various Krystals around Macon. So with Michael and Bernida as well as the rest of the Krystal Krew, it felt a lot like a family holiday gathering. And it is on that note I want to wish you all the happiest of holidays and the most Merry Christmas ever. I hope your heart grows three sizes this year (and don't shoot your eye out!) |

My To Do list for the day
| My week is winding down and my vacation is swiftly approaching. I have so much going on, I decided I needed a checklist. Here's how things are going: Stop the mail and newspaper delivery. CHECK. Gather my birth certificate, ID and other documents. CHECK. Mask, snorkel, underwater camera, and other assorted swimming stuff. CHECK. Empty the fridge of perishable foods. CHECK. Hop online to Cruisecritic.com to check the latest updates on the jellyfish stampede at Coco Cay. CHECK. Check weather channel to see hurricanes lining up to run right over my cruise. CHECK. Get plowed into by a mini van while stopped at a crossing guard, while I am on my way to work. CHECK. As you can see, the world appears to have a master plan to either prevent my cruise or to at least ruin it. It Won't Work! I am working in the office on campus today and tomorrow. Gonna stuff myself full of Krystals tomorrow for lunch. Finish packing tomorrow night. Friday, I will be back to the base (at 6am) to teach Hazardous Communications, Twice. At 3pm, I am done and on the highway to Florida. If you listen closely, you'll probably be able to hear me whistle the looney tunes theme song and I drive off into the southern sun. Jennifer has assured me we'll stop by Krystal on the way out of Orlando for late breakfast/early lunch, so I can get my Krystal Kontraband. Since she'll be driving, she wont be allowed to have a Scrambler. I will get one (probably the 4 carb or the original) just to taunt her. She'll probably be having Sunrisers. Which seems appropriate since we'll be driving into the sunrise. In case it hasn't been made clear already, I am half rabid with excitement and it grows a little every minute. By the time I get on board I'm sure to be a raving lunatic. Don't take this the wrong way, but I am certain that when the gangway is liften, I'll have forgotten about about work, Krystals, this blog, car wrecks, and hockey. But on Thursday evening, my mind will wander back to the small and steamy bundles of joy. I am hopeful to have one (slightly old, not very steamy, flattened but still square) as a late evening snack. And I'll be sure to document the event as well. As long as Jennifer isn't laughing to hard to hold the camera. I'll probably get one more short post in tomorrow, but then you'll likely wont see or hear from me for about 10 days. You're probably looking forward to the peace and quite too. It just can't get here fast enough. |

BCCBA
| If you haven't been over to the Krystal Lovers VIP Lounge over at Krystal.com you should go. Tiffany announced it the other day on Krystal-Lover blog (which now has a rather interesting post about Krystal and the Beastie Boys). To get to the VIP Lounge go to Krystal.com and look up at the top. You have to have an ID to get in, but you can get a special visitor permit to just look around. (I talked to the bouncer and he agreed he'd let ya in, just tell em Jason sent ya!) Over in the VIP lounge there's message boards and you can get your own profile and send messages and post pictures and all sorts of stuff. You can even talk to Jennifer and Kenny from Krystal HQ. One of the polls put up at the beginning was "What's the best Chili Cheese Item?" The choices were a rather interesting selection: Chili Cheese Fries, Chili Chees Pup, Chili Cheese Scrambler, Chili Cheese Coffee, Chili Cheese Stuffed Pie. All sound good but of course lots were missing. I then pondered on what it would be like to put Chili and Cheese on a BA Burger. Kenny came back and agreed. I frankly don't know if anyone had ever done it before, but I decided I had to do it. Yesterday was the day. After a particularly icky day at work I was glad to roll up to my favorite eating spot. I walked up to the counter to place my order. With it being summertime, Krystal has hired some new faces who don't exactly know who I am or why I act so strange when I go in. Anyway, I informed the girl at the register that I was going to "get crazy!" I told her I wanted to get the BA Combo. No problem on that. BUt then I started getting nutty. "No mayo, no tomatoes." "OK, what else?" "Add Bacon, add Cheese." "Alright." "Add chili." "What?" I had to explain I wanted a Bacon, Chili, Cheese, BA Burger. I then had to tell her that the chili was "on the pups menu." (If you zip back to one of my older posts you can see where I learned that trick.) Now I wish there was a better name for the burger. I tried every abbreviation I could think of, the best one I could find was the BABCC (pronounced "Bab Sees") but thats no good. I though about "The Holy Crap Burger" but with the word "crap" so close to the word "burger" I doubt Kenny or Tiffany or Jennifer would ever let that go by. Similarly I felt "The Oh My God Burger" would be a problem for religious reasons.  I went to grab my seat and wait for it to be delivered. She stopped on the way to the table to grab a big pile of napkins. She explained the burger looked good but looked VERY messy. The best burgers always are.  My advice is to eat it there, don't take it on the road. If you eat it in the car, you're gonna have to sell your car cause you'll NEVER get all the chili out of the seat, carpet, dashboard, radio, gearshift, glovebox, etc. By the time you get it home, the lettuce will have gotten wilty and the whole "hot/cold" mix would simply be one big "warm." So get your BA butt to Krystal and get yourself a Holy Crap Burger. Or something like that. Holy Crap Burger™ and Oh My God Burger™ are trademarks of KrystalKid Inc.  |

Scramblin' to get a Scrambler
'So what's a Scrambler?' you ask. Only a slice of heaven in a cup you eat with a spoon. 
My personal favorite is the Original or the 4 Carb scrambler. They had a Chicken Scrambler at one time, but it was always awkward to eat since you had to use a knife to cut the fried chicken patty. Using a knife and fork on a chicken patty sitting on a pile of scrambled eggs isn't easy. Plus there's just something seriously wrong about putting chicken on top of eggs. It's some kind of gastronomic incest. Now I know there are some out there who have a thing against mixing their food up or having their food touch. Get over it. It's gonna get all mixed up and touch once it's in your tummy! You'd probably get really ill if you saw me pour syrup in my original scrambler! So you start with this:   Scrambler's don't work well to eat while you are driving (hot grits in your lap is NOT good), but you can grab about 4 or 5 of them and take 'em to work with you and everyone at work will love you! If you share, that is.  |

Snakes at a Krystal!!
Due to the instant cult status of the soon to be released movie "Snakes on a Plane" I have decided to jump on board the bandwagon with my own Snake related post. Please do keep in mind, however, that snakes are not normally allowed inside of Krystal, so the chances of you actually running into a snake inside of a Krystal are very remote. (The parking lot is fair game, though) However, being an Eagle Scout, I want you to be prepared in the rare case it does happen. 1) Poke holes in your straw and play a fancy tune to charm 'em 2) Call the snakes and tell them you're from Fox24 and want to interview them at 6 PM. Then just don't bother to show up. (This is an inside joke from late March 3) Tell the snakes that Krystal is closed. (We all know Krystal almost never closes but snakes don't know this.) 4) Just go through the drive-thru! 5) Tell the snakes that Krystal is test marketing the new "Snake Scrambler" on their breakfast menu, and watch those Snakes Scramble! 6) Buy 'em a chili cheese pup. Nothing brings people (and snakes) together like those tasty little doggies. 7) Get up and dance on the table top like the little girl in the old Krystal commercials. (This entry specifically chosen for my father who still talks about that darn commercial.) 8) See how many Krystals the snakes can eat. Interesting fact: Did you know snakes can unhinge their jaw for maximum Krystal Konsumption. Now that I think of it, this might be how Kobayashi eats 67 Krystals in 8 minutes. If you've ever seen him eat he does a "squirm" thing too. Added bonus: after eating all those Krystals, the snakes will be too full to eat you! 9) Put chili and cheese on 'em. Everything at Krystal tastes better with Chili and Cheese on it. 10) Tell the snakes how to sign up for the Krystal Lovers' Hall of Fame, cause if those snakes are hangin' at Krystal, then theyre sure to be Krystal Lovers!  |

Deconstruction of a #1 Combo
I will eventually have pictures up over there of me demolishing chili cheese pups, Krystal Chiks, Sunrisers, and a Krystal Scrambler. By why wait for me to do it? Go hit Krystal and get some for yourself! |

My nomination letter
Every Thursday for 16 years, I couldn't count how many Krystals I have had over the years, but I assure you I loved every single one of them. I see it as a passion. Some of my friends admire my dedication, while others think it is an addiction. I think they're just jealous, though. You know what cures jealousy? A chili cheese pup! Many people however think I should be in the Krystals Hall of Fame. Sometimes it is hard to get my Thursday Krystals. My parents live 4 hours away from the nearest Krystal, so I have to bring them with me when I go visit for the holidays. Then I usually have to fend my family away from my beloved hamburgers. Occasionally I bring extras as Christmas presents. It is easy to do since they come already wrapped in a cute little box! My Thanksgiving Krystals are the toughest. Since Thanksgiving is one of the few days Krystal is closed, I have to buy my Krystals late on Wednesday. The past 3 years, I have used them to make my stuffing, just for fun! It is delicious! There is nothing on the menu I have not had, and few things on the menu I don't love. For breakfast some mornings, I go for the Sunrisers or the Scrambler, or both! (Yummy!) My greatest love, though, is the cheese Krystal. I like mine "All the way". On special occasions, I add bacon, too. Usually I get the #1 combo, with a Coke. I may not be able to eat as many Krystals as some people can, I may not eat them as often as some people may, but life is a marathon, not a sprint. Some people say you should stop and smell the roses. I think it would be better to stop and smell the Krystals! By pacing myself, I never get tired of those delicious little wonders.  |
