Krystal Box Art by Facebook Fan Sadettin Dogan.

As many of you might know and remember, we here at Krystalist have featured a number of Krystal Box Art creations such as The Krystal Monument, a 7-foot scale model of the Washington Monument made by 2008 Hall of Famers Robert, Joey and Steven Clark. But today, there is a new artist in town. Meet passionate Krystal Lover and active Krystal Facebook Fan Sadettin Dogan.

Also former Krystal team member for the Panama City Beach restaurant location, Dogan became an avid Krystal fan during his three-month visit in the States as an international student. And as you can see from his photos here, Dogan also spent time during his summer dabbling in the fine art of Krystal Box Stacking.

Now back home in Adana, Turkey, Dogan continues to share his love for the brand on Krystal’s Official Facebook Page, where the photos were uploaded originally. He recently stated, “I miss Krystal Burgers very much and hope to get back to the U.S. again soon for another Krystal visit.”

We’re just glad that with Facebook, Twitter and more, Krystal Lovers can connect with fellow fans even when thousands of miles apart. So, in the spirit of sharing, here is a big Krystalist shout out to Sadettin Dogan: Thanks for being a fan and for your continued dedication to the Famous Krystal Burger!

Boxes for the 2009 Krystal Lovers Hall of Fame Inductees hit restaurants this March!

Since December of 2009 when the new class of Krystal Lovers Hall of Fame inductees was introduced, we’ve kept you updated on their Krystal experiences with links to news articles and highlights of photos and videos from the various induction ceremonies. We’ve also given you a sneak peak of the legendary Krystal Hamburger Boxes, which feature the photos and stories of each Hall of Famer. Now, we’re excited to announce that the new Hamburger Boxes will be available in restaurants starting this month – March 2010.

Soon, Krystal Lovers can visit all of the company’s 385 restaurants across the South to eat their favorite Krystal or Cheese Krystal out of the new packaging. Each box will include an illustration of the Hall of Famer, a quote that describes his or her passion for Krystal as well as personal facts such as the inductee’s hometown and favorite Krystal meal.

And because of the great response Krystal had from its Facebook Fans and Twitter Followers when asked to hear guests’ Krystal stories for the Hall of Fame, we hope to see Krystal Lovers continue this engagement online as the boxes roll out in restaurants. You can let us know when you get a Hall of Famer’s box at the drive thru or even share your own personal story for the 2010 Krystal Lovers Hall of Fame. And don’t forget to include photos and video with your submissions!

Bob and Beverly Balch are Krystal Lovers Hall of Fame Inductees #83

As the saying goes, “All good things must come to an end,” which is the case for the 2009 Krystal Lovers Hall of Fame Induction Ceremonies. The 10th and final inductees, Bob and Beverly Balch, celebrated their Krystal story and new honor last Friday in St. Augustine, Fla.

Friends and family were gathered around to hear the couple tell their tale – not of how many burgers they’ve eaten, but of a match made at Krystal. The story goes back five decades and explains how Bob, then a young Naval cadet, was able to woo Beverly over to his car that was parked in the Krystal parking lot in Mobile, Ala. Now 50 years and eight grandkids later, they are still enjoying a happy marriage and thank Krystal for the match-making help.

At their induction ceremony, Krystal’s executive team recognized the Balches with a life-size illustration of their very own Krystal Hamburger box, a Krystal plaque to be hung in the St. Augustine restaurant for all of eternity and a complimentary meal for the couple’s friends and family. To view photos of their induction ceremony, see below.

Also, stay tuned to learn more about the launch date for when the Krystal Lovers Hall of Fame Hamburger Boxes will roll out. It won’t be long before you’ll see the shining faces of the 2009 class on Krystal boxes in all 385 Krystal restaurants systemwide!

Kris Underwood is Krystal Lovers Hall of Fame Inductee # 85

On Friday, Jan. 8, Krystal inducted Knoxville native Kris Underwood into its 2009 Krystal Lovers Hall of Fame.

At his induction ceremony, Krystal recognized Underwood with a life-size illustration of his very own Krystal Hamburger box, a Krystal plaque to be hung in the Richmond, Ky. restaurant for all of eternity and a complimentary meal for friends and family.
