More on Krystal Square Off
Description from Wikipedia:
The Krystal Square Off is the official World Hamburger Eating Championship, taking place in Chattanooga, Tennessee and is sanctioned by the International Federation of Competitive Eating (IFOCE). In this event, contestants eat as many Krystal hamburgers as possible in eight minutes.
The sole difference between the hamburgers consumed for the Square Off and the hamburgers purchased from Krystal restaurants is that the pickles are removed from the hamburgers consumed for the event to minimize the risk of choking.
The Krystal Square Off consists of a qualifying tour and a world championship. In the qualifying tour, amateur eaters compete with professional eaters for a spot at the world championship. In 2004, the first year of the event, local amateurs Sam Vise and Jeff Hicks defeated professionals to earn a position at the world championship.
The two-minute qualifier record stands at 39 Krystals eaten by "Humble" Bob Shoudt in Nashville, 2007.
