The 150.00 burger

NBC2 News Online - Cape resident flies 150 miles for Krystal burger - monthly:


KISSIMMEE: It's a lot more than a Big Mac attack that has one Cape Coral man flying 150 miles from his home several times a year to the nearest Krystal fast-food restaurant.

Jay Barr picks up 24 burgers about ten times a year. He says the hour-long flight from the Kissimmee airport is more worth it. He typically leaves Fort Myers around 6 am and is home by 8:30 am, sometimes before his wife even wakes up.

Saturday, the fast-food company unveiled a hamburger box and drink cup with Barr's face and an airplane printed on them. Hundreds of thousands of the boxes will hit about four-hundred restaurants in the Southeast.

Barr was one of thousands who e-mailed stories to the company about their love for Krystal's food.

He will be added to their online Hall of Fame in the coming weeks on its website: http://www.krystal.com/
