The 'W' above all other 'W's
If I can't have a Krystal hamburger, this is the next best thing(though some might say it's apples to oranges). In Dallas/Fort Worth we only have one Krystal(way up in Carrollton) which only recently opened. I heard people would wait hours for the one-of-a-kind taste of a "GREASEtal", as we have come to acknowledge them. Guess that's better than a six hour drive on I-20 to Vicksburg, MS, the next closest Krystal. I remember growing up in Memphis in the late 60's/early 70's, going midnight bowling with kids from church and afterwards, about 6 AM, hitting the Krystal for breakfast near the intersection of Getwell Road and Park. The waffles were great! I don't think they serve breakfast anymore. Remember that before you "set your mouth" for a Krystal breakfast after midnight bowling in Memphis. Now, Whataburger serves breakfast, but no waffles, and not in Memphis(go west my son, go west!). Krystals or no, waffles or no, in Texas, the Whataburger 'W' is the ONLY 'W' fit for the bumper of my SUV.
