Krystal Square Off Atlanta Qualifier
By kmikeym from September 25, 2006
Chip Simpson is going to the Show.
Though Tim "Eater X" Janus was just a burger or two behind for most of the eight-minute contest, the official results put Simpson half a Krystal ahead to win the trophy and a guaranteed spot at the Krystal Square Off champsionship table.
Janus was visibly disappointed with the result after IFOCE chairman George Shea was overheard ordering one burger to be discounted from his total (Shea was also heard ordering one burger from Simpson's total). As the final seconds ticked away, both eaters crammed liquid-soaked burgers into their mouths. Shea asked Janus multiple times to remove some of the excess Krystal, which was protruding from his mouth. With one burger presumably deducted from each eater's total, it is unclear whether the adjustments affected the final standings.
Third-place masticator Justin Mih (ranked 33) had an impressive showing with 33, beating out local favorite Bubba Yarbough, who finished fourth with 26 burgers.
With three more qualifiers to go, here's how the final table looks:
- Takeru Kobayashi
- Sonya Thomas
- Chip Simpson
- Joey Chestnut
- Humble Bob Shoudt
- Pat Bertoletti
- Winner of qualifier in Memphis, TN
- Winner of qualifier in Perry, GA
- Winner of qualifier in Jackson, MS
- Wildcard
Janus's impressive showing puts him far ahead of the pack in wildcard race, virtually guaranteeing his spot at the championship.

Great post. We at Krystal appreciate your coverage. I do want to clarify one thing, though. There will be four wildcard spots at the final table, not just one.
