Krystal is obviously a Southern derivative of White Castle, which is what inspired it. (This perhaps belongs in the article.) The greater Nashville, Tennessee area is the only market area where the two currently overlap, and one of the elements of Southern pride is a belief that Krystals are superior. Also, Krystal Restaurant is the origin of the name of country singer Crystal Gayle, even though she spells it differently.

They also now compete in the Atlanta area. Realkyhick 07:38, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
There is currently only one location in North Carolina, and as per the Krystal website they are currently "under construction". Article seems to imply that Krystals are common in NC. MrWorkrate 13:52, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
According to Krystal's website as of March 11, 2008, there are no Krystals in North Carolina. -- Jnelson09 ( talk) 03:14, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
As of today, 18 April 2012, the Krystal website's "Locations" search lists no Krystals in the state of Texas. If you search using any location in Texas or any point west of Texas, the search results show that the nearest Krystal locations are in Mississippi and Louisiana. Rainier Wolfcastle ( talk) 08:41, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
Additionally, the Krystal website lists no locations in Virginia but the map shows Virginia highlighted in red indicating it does have them (as of 03 May 2021). Cursedjarlic ( talk) 01:17, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
Shouldn't Florida be purple on the map since a White Castle opened there?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.112.119.105 ( talk) 09:28, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
Vomit or grits? Oddly I have never seen "vomit" on the menu. Was that supposed to have been a joke?
with all due respect to krystal, the only premier competitive eating event we're used to seeing out here in california is the nathan's hot dogs competition.
If you're going to make a snide edit in how you believe Krystal "stole" from White Castle, back it up at least. -- DodgerOfZion 00:23, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
I am not saying that either is a rip of either. I am just curious, and feel that it may be noted. They do look alike, but I want to know, Do they taste at all alike??? Whether they are related or not, this is something that could be useful in the stating of their similarities. -- MJHankel 19:39, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
My edits aren't the best, but I wanted to at least begin adding references to this article. Although the "I dreamed of Krystal" source may seem not-notable or WP:TRIVIA, it may make more sense when other sourced fan stories and "lore" are added. I also edited the White Castle section because bulleted points seemed a bit excessive in such a short article. Flowanda 01:54, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Image:Krystal logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 05:12, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
under pop culture, the restaurant is referred to as "Krystals." Having never seen the movie, I can't say for sure if that's wrong. 68.155.128.138 00:22, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

"2007 WAS THE YEAR CHESTNUT EARNED HIS FIRST KRYSTAL SQUARE OFF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, AND DID SO IN CONVINCING FASHION. DESPITE MISSING OUT ON THE CHANCE TO BEAT KOBAYASHI HEAD TO HEAD DUE TO AN INJURY TO THE JAPANESE EATER'S JAW, CHESTNUT CLAIMED THE TITLE OF GREATEST KRYSTAL EATER OF ALL TIME, BY EATING AN UNPRECEDENTED 103 KRYSTALS, BESTING THE PREVIOUS RECORD BY 6 BURGERS."
-- Tholcomb ( talk) 06:16, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
Senator Bob Corker built a construction company doing business in 18 states or a friend at Krystal hired him to install drive in windows? Is this another example of Ron Johnson (U.S. politician) and the Bemis connection? I think the Drive in window innovation might deserve a section of it's own and the competitive edge gained by having such a feature.
There seems to be quite a body of discussion regarding Corker's role. [1]

I updated this map: File:Krystal-vs-whitecastle-locations-map.svg. It was removed from the article about 10 years ago and replaced by a PNG version, and the PNG image was then deleted as a "not useful" copy of the SVG. I'm interested in editors' opinion on whether this would be a useful illustration in the article. Jack N. Stock ( talk) 00:34, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
