Gabby Champion Drove Her Way Into Krystal Hall of Fame
To what extent have you ever gone out of your way to satisfy a craving? Walked a mile in the freezing cold? Begged a friend to help you out in return to do their laundry for a month? Bottom line, sometimes when you want something, you just want it and won’t settle for anything else. This was the case for Gabby Champion of Baton Rouge, LA. 
With the closest Krystal 180 miles away round trip, Champion had to make quite the drive in order to enjoy one of those tasty, square Krystals. So how do you repay someone for this kind of loyalty? Easy. Make them a Krystal-ebrity! As a 2008 Krystal Lovers Hall of Fame Inductee, Champion will have her face featured on the sides of her favorite Krystal hamburger box, receive a plaque that will forever hang in the Slidell Krystal and a complimentary meal for her friends and family.
Come show Champion your love and follow her footsteps (or exhaust trail on the highway) to witness her excitement at the induction ceremony. We will be celebrating at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 17 at the Krystal located at 61104 Airport Rd. in Slidell, La.
Gabby Champion’s Story
In the South, tailgating could almost be considered its own sport, especially during the The Big Game. Some people set up in stadium parking lots or in their driveways, but for Gabby Champion and her friends, the Krystal restaurant in Slidell, LA is the place to tailgate. Champion has always been a Krystal fan, but with no Krystal locations in her hometown of Baton Rouge, she has to drive three hours round trip to satisfy her Krystal cravings. Needless to say, it always helps when she has a good reason to make the journey. This February, that reason was The Big Game. Champion rounded up the crew and headed to Slidell, more than 90 miles away. Tailgating with those tasty little, square Krystals was all they needed to make this Super Bowl Sunday one they would never forget. Now, Champion continues to make regular road trips to the Slidell Krystal with her fellow Krystal buddies. It takes dedication to be a true Krystal Lover and Champion is in for the long haul!
