Two happy couples have shared their unique stories with us of how they said “I do” and celebrated in a very special way- with Krystal!

Justin and Diane Miller

Justin and Diane Miller tied the knot this past weekend in Chattanooga, Tenn. at a beautiful ceremony complete with all of the traditional elements; red roses, black tuxedos, a beautiful white dress and a matching mountain of red, black and white Krystal boxes. These two lovebirds are huge Krystal fans, and what better way to share their love of each other (and those sensational square burgers) with their friends and family at the reception than to feature Krystal burgers as the dinner item! Their favorite menu items at Krystal over the years have been the ever-tasty Famous Krystals, delicious Krystal Chiks with cheese and bacon and those addicting Chili Cheese Fries. Congratulations Justin and Diane! We can’t think of anything more romantic than starting off your lives together with smiles on your faces and Krystals in your hands.

Hall and Emily Hunt

More often than not couples like to incorporate individual elements into their wedding ceremonies and receptions that are important to them to make the day more special and personalized. So naturally, 2008 Krystal Lovers Hall of Famer and #9 ranked in the world competitive eater Hall “Hoover” Hunt could not have gotten married on Monday, June 14th to the love of his life without including the love of his stomach- Krystal! Hall and Emily had a Krystal burger shaped groom’s cake, served Krystal burgers to their guests and also had Hall’s friend and #1 ranked competitive eater Joey Chestnut challenge the newlyweds in a cake eating contest at the reception. Even though Hall put away a whopping 60 Krystal burgers in 8 minutes to set a Jacksonville record, rookie Emily pulled through and beat our her new husband and his friend when it came to the cake. We know that happy stomachs make happy couples, and these two seem to have it all figured out. Congratulations Hall and Emily! Check out pictures of their wedding here.

Fact: You can get 10 Krystal Burgers hot off the grill for only $4.99 on Super Bowl Sunday!

The New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts will take the field in Miami on February 7th for Super Bowl XLIV. With the game still a few days away, we thought we’d tide you over with a few fun facts related to the 2010 Super Bowl game. Happy Reading!

• The Super Bowl XLIV game will be televised in 30 languages to more than 185 countries world wide.
• Total expected attendance at the Sun Life Stadium for Super Bowl XLIV is 75,000 people.
• A total of 62 commercials will air on Super Bowl Sunday, each of which cost between $2.5-$3 million for a mere 30 second spot.
• These nine highly anticipated movies will air trailers during Super Bowl XLIV: Alice in Wonderland, Wolfman, Robin Hood, Despicable Me, The Last Airbender, Shutter Island, Iron Man 2, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time and Toy Story 3.
• The total weight of The Saints’ starting defensive line is about 1,167 pounds.
• Here’s some irony… Peyton Manning’s dad, NFL quarterback Archie Manning, made his debut in 1971 for the New Orleans Saints.
• Entertainment for Super Bowl XLIV includes: Queen Latifah’s rendition of “America The Beautiful,” Carrie Underwood singing the National Anthem and The Who at halftime.
• The Who are the first band known for destroying their instruments at the end of a live show and were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 1990.
• It’s estimated that 6 percent of Americans will call in sick or report to work late on the Monday after Super Bowl XLIV.
• Saints running back Reggie Bush’s top speed in the 40-yard dash is 18.7 mph.
• Because local Indianapolis school bus drivers had a tough time getting to work at 5:30 a.m. after The Colts’ last Super Bowl game, public schools and bus activity will commence one hour later on Monday, February 8, 2010. However, Catholic schools in Indianapolis will have the entire day off in honor of the Super Bowl XLIV.
• In a related finding, New Orleans Parish Civil District Court Judge Michael Bagneris ordered a Feb. 1 jury trial delay in light of the New Orlean’s Saints historic trip to the 2010 Super Bowl. His statement read, “The court takes judicial notice that Saintsmania permeates the city of New Orleans…”
• The most potato chips consumed on Super Bowl Sunday are said to be done by the states of New Mexico and Virginia.
• The estimated cost to South Florida for hosting Super Bowl XLIV, including increased police presence, clean-up, etc. will total $8 million.
• The estimated benefit to South Florida, as measured by additional revenue to hotels, restaurants, and other spending will total $353 million
• The average ticket price for Super Bowl XLIV will be between $500 – $1,000.

Oh, and we almost forgot the most important fun fact of all… For Super Bowl XLIV, Krystal is offering the deal of the century: 10 Famous Krystal Burgers for only $4.99. Be sure to get ‘em while they’re hot!

Enjoy 10 Krystal Burgers for only $4.99 this Super Bowl Sunday!

A hungry group of new and veteran Krystal Lovers all take a bite of their Krystal Burgers at once!

We think most Krystal Lovers would agree that when you get a Krystal craving, you want to satisfy it right then and there. And apparently this school of thought is no exception to Krystal Lover and Facebook Fan Valorie Spencer of the Palm Harbor, Fla. area.

On this fine Friday afternoon, Spencer was home with her kids and a few of their friends who had the day off from school, when they all decided it was time for Spencer to deliver on a long-time promise: a road trip to Krystal. With the nearest Krystal restaurant located 45 minutes away in Tampa, it was a rare treat for the group. According to Spencer, “Three of the boys had never eaten a Krystal before and in fact, two of them had only experienced White Castle (frozen) at my house once before. They were really excited about the trip to a genuine Krystal location.”

Spencer continued, “The kids now want to make the trip a regular thing.” And how could we blame them! The group consumed a total of 40 Krystal Burgers, an order of chili cheese fries and a number of MilkQuakes. They also left with an additional 24 Burgers – a full Steamer Pack – and stopped at a friends house to slide a few to a fellow friend who wasn’t able to make the trek. I guess you could say that Spencer, with the help of her daughter, is like the Santa Claus of Krystal.

For this dedication and loyalty to the Krystal brand, we want to say thank you and show our appreciation with a little feature here on Krystalist. To see photos of the Spencer family and friends enjoying their Krystal Burgers, see below. It looks like one young gentleman might even have a future in the art of Krystal Box Stacking.

Gizmo tries to steal a bite of a tasty Krystal Burger

You’ve probably heard the phrase “everyone and their dog,” but in the case of Krystal Lovers across the South, it actually seems to be true – everyone and their dog loves the little, square, hot-off-the-grill Krystal Burgers. And, the proof is in the pictures.

Krystal Facebook fan Amanda McCarter Counts recently posted these photos on the Krystal Facebook wall to show how much she and her family dog, Gizmo, love Krystals. Now if only the Krystal Lovers Hall of Fame honored pets! Until then, we’re excited to feature Gizmo here as Krystal’s smallest yet biggest fan. And instead of an induction ceremony, maybe we can see about getting him a Krystal Burger treat.

If you have any fun Krystal photos, please send them our way via email to info@krystalist.com, by posting on Facebook or tweeting to @krystalist and we’ll feature them here on Krystalist.com.
