Krystal Square Off in Perry, GA

Location: Perry, GA
Date: 10-07-2007
Winner: Rich LeFevre, 51 Krystals

The Krystal Company, the fast food icon famous for its fresh, hot, small, square hamburgers craved by millions all across the South, announced the dates and cities for the 2007 Krystal Square Off World Hamburger Eating Championship, one of the majors in competitive eating and the only world hamburger-eating championship sanctioned by Major League Eating, the world governing body of all stomach-centric sports.

Billed in its fourth year as Krystal Square Off IV and annually drawing thousands of the world's top eaters and amateur hopefuls, the three-month long qualifying circuit and championship event will officially get underway on August 22, 2007, in Chattanooga, with the first of nine regional qualifiers. From there, the road to the top burger title will journey to cities all across the South with each city sending its winner to the World Championship event held in downtown Chattanooga in early November.

Perry, GA will play host to the seventh stop on the tour. Last year, Dale Boone earned his seat at the finals in Perry with 37 Krystals in eight minutes.

Registration for this event is now closed.
