To'oto'o repping Krystal...

Years ago my late wife and I were vacationing in Garden City and she has this hankering for Krystals and being the model hubby I said sure. We hit the drive thru and loaded up and sat in the parking lot eating those explosive gutbombs and no sooner than we hit the highway I felt this tremendous urge to purge come over me. I'm flying back to the condo and she says hit this alley as would miss a redlight, (she didn't want me to foul the seats in her Buick). Zooming down the alley it REALLY hits and I've got to go. Slammed on the brakes, hit reverse and I'm flying backwards to a McDonalds we had just passed. An elderly black man was pushing a bicycle which he dropped and took off running. Came sliding into the McDonalds lot, jumped out and hit the door headed to the bathroom. Grabbed the first empty stall and let the explosion fly. Dude in the next stall was gagging talking to his wife saying OMG, this is incredible and flushed and ran out of the bathroom. After dropping about 8 lbs I left and found the wife laughing like crazy as she saw the guy running out the door. I've not had a Krystal since.

Btw anyone else see this and remember the Alabama fan that assaulted the LSU fan that was passed out after the 2012 National Championship game. T Bagged the unconscious guy. I want to say it was outside a Krystal on a park bench.

Is Krystal making a comeback or something. They were very recently on a list of companies likely to close their doors permanently. Hail Mary and it all on too too??

Not sure. They had to close a bunch of stores around 2019/2020 (I think they filed for bankruptcy in 2020) but they’ve started to have more of a tv advertising presence again in the last year…so I’m assuming maybe they partially righted (or at least stabilized) the ship?

Shame. They have been a favorite of mine for a long time. A bag of four Krystal’s, fries, and a large Dr Pepper was Southern Heaven for me. I used to eat at the original tiny location in downtown Chattanooga all the time

Where was the original located in Chattanooga?

I think those characters were born out of a night of a Krystal fueled acid trip

I mean all the fast food mascots originated in forms that were…pretty awkward, weird, or creepy. Look up how Ronald McDonald or the Burger King started off when they were first made.

Traitor company. They’ve been closing stores and going downhill since they got bought out and closed the corporate offices in Chattanooga.

I blame changing their fries… their fries used to be really good, then they decided to change them & now I consider them amongst the worse fries anyone can buy.

Not surprised. Their "Sometimes you just gotta have a Krystal" was true, just not very often; especially for the Crowd that grew up on Krystal! Hard to stomach . Nothing but a Bun, Onions, Pickles and mustard. Razor thin "meat". Too bad, I visited the original on Rossville Blvd, built in 1929; amazing, and still used the original dishwasher ! Iconic slice of Americana.
