Jacksonville's hungriest hero Hall "Hoover" Hunt took sixth place at the Krystal Square Off World Hamburger Eating Championship yesterday in Chattanooga. Hoover, who is the National Sweet Corn Eating Champion and World Tri Tip Eating Champion, ate five Big Angus burgers and 35 Krystals for a total of 60 points. Three-time Krystal Square Off winner Takeru Kobayashi, who hasn't won a competitive eating "major" in three years, returned to his former glory and devoured the competition, along with five Big Angus burgers and 68 Krystals (what, what?!) for 93 points (yes, I know it says 92 in the photo but that number was prior to verification by Krystal officials).

In case you missed it, here's the bun-cramming, water-guzzling, cheek-stuffing, indigestion-inducing action in its entirety.

Special props to high school student Tyler Keys (aka the Twelfth Man), whose name was randomly drawn to participate in the Square Off. Keys, in his competitive eating debut, downed a sorta-respectable eight Krystals. Or at least it was respectable until they came back up.
