Blog-A-Palooza!
You may recall back when I took my road trip to Krystal Mecca, Krystal HQ, in Chattanooga, I met with lots of folks who keep our favorite dining establishment afloat. While I was there, my blog (this blog) was a topic of conversation. They mentioned there was discussion of setting of a "Krystal Blog" of some sort, but it was just a hatchling of an idea. Well yesterday, I received an email from my friend Kenny Hammontree, one of the Knights of the Square and Steamy table: Jason, I just wanted to let you know that a few of us in the Krystal marketing department started our own blog krystal-lover.blogspot.com. It's a behind the scenes look at the magic of Krystal Marketing. Of course we couldn't start a Krystal blog without talking about you & your blog. Check it out when you have a chance. Kenny Well my friends, the Krystal blog is GO! Check it out. I'll be putting a link to it over on the left side of my site. Once you go there you'll see they have linked to my blog as well. Somehow I think that since they link to my blog, when I link back to their blog it may rip a hole in the space-time fabric of the web. That'll be cool! Don't fall off the web, now, ya hear? Now once you get to their site you'll see it's being kept by three folks in the office, Kenny, Jennifer, and Tiffany. These are the wonderful folks I met last April in Chattanooga, who welcomed me to KHQ. Welcome to the blogisphere, my friends! You will also notice the beautiful picture of Kenny's desk, which they claim is a mess. Well here's my desk at work last December. ![]() Lastly, I know some will claim 'they' stole my blog idea, and want to encourage some sort of hostility or competition. I think we've addressed this before, people. It's the Krystal LOVERS Hall of Fame. That kind of attitude will cause you to wake up one day, face down in the gutter, head in a Krystal Steamer box, with chili and mustard stains on your shirt, wondering where your pants went. Ease up, let go, and enjoy the ride! Besides, Kenny and the gang gave me due credit and even used me as the topic of their first real post. As much as I would love to think I am a Krystal Insider, I'm not. They will have all the hot and tasty tidbits from the source, and if you watch close you'll learn some awesome stuff. I will continue to give my "Kid on the Street" reports, updates, and other good things. There's plenty of room on the web for us all. Heck, I also wanna see what's up at KHQ! Lets face it, we can't all go to Krystal HQ in Chattanooga, so this gives them a chance to bring it to you/us. (I am trying to work out a plan to return to Chattanooga again later this year, but work is trying to get in the way.) Tomorrow is Thursday, and we all know what that means, right? I knew you would. Repeat after me: Number One With Cheese And A Coke, Please. ![]() |
