If you live in the South, than you know about the oldest quick service restaurant chain, Krystal's. The Krystal Company is turning 84 and you’re invited to the party! As one of the oldest fast food chains in the south, 84 years is something to honor, and that is why this year Krystal is putting their customers in the driver’s seat (literally) by giving away a 2016 Kia Soul and offering their signature Krystal burger for only 50 cents!

When two of the South’s most famous brands team up, hot results are sure to follow. That’s why the highly anticipated partnership between Krystal® and TABASCO® brand has food fans so excited. Available from June 13 through August 7, the new Fired-Up menu includes great items that can be “fired-up” with a cheese sauce infused with TABASCO ® Sauce, which is versatile on all of their products!

There are two items from the Fired-Up menu in the brand’s popular Mix 5 for $5 offering – a Cheese Krystal and longtime LTO favorite, the Spicy Chik, both topped with the Fired-Up cheese sauce infused with TABASCO ® Sauce. In addition, the brand is offering a Fired-Up Combo, in which the guest chooses three of their favorite items (Krystal, Chik or Pup) topped with bacon, Fired-Up cheese sauce and jalapeños. The combo even comes with a side of Fired-Up cheese sauce topped with jalapeños for dipping fries!
