From Liz K’s latest blog entry:

I took advantage of some killer airline sales and bought a ticket to go to the Krystal Square Off finals in Chattanooga at the end of next month. I have never been to the south before and I’m a little afraid of what they do to vegetarians down there. I’m mostly excited about a little two hour road trip I get from Nashville to Chattanooga and the fact that Willow and Mike might meet me down there. I know, can you believe the seriousness of the party that will ensue? I sure wish I knew a southern blogger who loved Krystals who could come visit me while I was there…

DNJ.com has another article about Juris Shibayama’s second place finish in the Nashville Krystal qualifier.

The Tennessean has an article on Dr. Juris Shibayama’s second place finish in the Nashville Krystal qualifier:

Shibayama brought a cheering squad that included Linda Sykes, a patient he operated on in July.

She said she never thought she’d see the muscular doctor scarf down hamburgers so fast, but she expected him to do well in the contest.

As for herself, she expects to remain in the crowd watching.

“I like Krystals, but I don’t think I could do that,” she laughed.

The article also has video from the qualifier.

Top 3 from today’s Nashville qualifier from Krystal Square Off.com

One day after setting the two-minute Krystal Record, Humble Bob Shoudt ate 69 Krystals to set the new Nashville, TN eight-minute record. Shoudt’s 69 Krystals easily outpaced second-place finisher Juris Shibayama’s 39 Krystals. In third place was Kevin Ross with 30.

Shoudt’s 69 sets a qualifier record, breaking the mark set by Sonya Thomas last year. Shibayama’s 39 puts him in first place in the wildcard standings.

From KrystalSquareOff.com

Humble Bob Shoudt shattered the two-minute Krystal Square Off record by eating 39 Krystals.
The two-minute record was originally set at 21 Krystals by Matt Ward of Murfreesboro, TN in 2003. Ward’s record stood until July 2006, when Joey Chestnut ate 28. Chestnut’s mark was tied by Shoudt in Nashville last year.

(From anonymous comment) KrystalSquareOff.com reports that “Gentleman” Joe Menchetti ate 24 burgers in 2 minutes in a Krystal prequalifier in Nashville, 4 off the record held by Joey Chestnut and Bob Shoudt. The article mentions Menchetti’s estrangement from the IFOCE, but does not say if he will be allowed to compete in the 8 minute qualifier on Sunday. GJoe is in Tennessee to compete in the Backyard Burgers finals tomorrow in Memphis.
