Krystal Eaters Square Off On Fox 5 Good Day Atlanta

The Krystal restaurant in Buckhead Atlanta was the scene of a televised three-man Krystal eating contest this morning between Super Paul Barlow, Ben “The Turtle” Griffith and Steve “Pi Guy” Martin.

The two-minute contest was a part of Fox 5 Good Day Atlanta’s preview of this Saturday’s Krystal Square Off V Qualifier at Lenox Square Mall in Atlanta, which will feature the number-two ranked eater in the world Pat Bertoletti. The winner on Saturday will go on to compete at the Krystal Square Off V World Hamburger Eating Championship in Chattanooga on Sept. 28.

With Fox 5’s Mark Hyman and Krystal’s Kenny Hammontree on hand to officiate this morning, the contest ended up as a draw between Super Paul and Griffith, with both Atlanta-based eaters downing nine Krystals. Martin, a math teacher, ate just seven.
