Krystals
I've noticed an alarming trend recently. Alarming in the fact I did not foresee it, or create it, or maintain enough youth or vigor to practise it: I see youngsters wearing Krystal paper hats as au courant attire. Social statements, perhaps.
Step away from the Jah knits, people. Krystal rules.
I am a huge Krystal fan, of course, going back to the days when Mommy would buy a sackful at a dime per on Bee Road for a birthday party Strong Man Spectacular at the Avon. I still love Krystals upon occasion.
I grow older, however. My body leavens. Sometimes the youth that is my appetite cannot handle the old man that my bowels have become. Sometimes Krystals rip my gut. These are not broken winds, mind you, they are solar flares. Electricity may go out for three or four quadrants. Songfowl die. Lawngrass withers.
Sometimes not. Krystals are therefore not a repast, but a bout of Russian Roulette, with my pyloric valve spinning the chamber. I can live with that. Especially when I recall the night when my friend PJ ripped a fart so foul, so noxious, so egregious, in the Krystal line at two AM that they closed the store. BEFORE he had even SEEN a Krystal. He had only smelled them. Now that is something a White Kastle fan can only dream of.
And I have been to Krystal's World Headquarters in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Somehow that lends credence to this post gone awry.
As a former employee, I relate to your post. The company maintains that the "gas bombs" (their slang for their product) is caused by the dehydrated onions they use. This is partially true. The meat is of the cheapest quality and sanitation procedures are lax. Had some fun working at Krystal's, but you will never catch me eating there.
