Georgia State’s Bill Curry Gets Face Time On Krystal Burger Boxes
An ESPN college football analyst, an NFL center for 10 seasons and football coach for over 17 years on the college circuit has just added another prestigious title to his resume – Krystal Lover Hall of Famer. The story that took Coach Bill Curry from Georgia Football’s Hall of Fame to Krystal’s Hall of Fame goes a little something like this…
An occasional guest on ESPN’s popular sports-talk radio show, “Mike & Mike in the Morning,” which broadcasts live from Connecticut, Curry once promised host Mike Golic that he would Fed-Ex him a seven-course meal from the very best restaurant in the South. While Golic likely had a fancy, fine-dining establishment in mind, Curry chose Krystal. And the meal: seven delicious Krystal Hamburgers served up in their legendary hamburger boxes. Thinking Golic might be miffed that his gourmet meal was seven hamburgers instead of a royal feast, Curry confronted him on the air to capture his reaction live. “Those hamburgers,” said Golic, “They didn’t even make it to the refrigerator! I ate them in one sitting, and they were delicious.” Curry noted, “You just can’t beat the taste of Krystal Hamburgers, even when they are mailed in dry ice all the way to Connecticut.”
Krystal will recognize Curry for his new honor with an induction ceremony in late February and by placing his mug on millions of the legendary Krystal Hamburger Boxes that will be distributed in over 400 Krystals across the South. Curry’s box will make its debut in restaurants starting the week of Feb. 9, so be sure to stop by your local Krystal to collect one. We almost guarantee that they’ll be worth money some day!
