The Buckeye Express Diner, which features eating in a train, has added a new attraction to its outdoor sculptures. Billed as the "World's Largest Bobblehead," it looks like the twin to Handless Jacques in Marblehead. This chef is wearing a red coat, white pants, and is holding two hamburgers. He is visible from the interstate, but driving up to the restaurant is the best way to see him.

This sculpture depicts a frazzled student glued to his laptop while a squirrel makes off with the top of his fast food hamburger. I saw this in June, but can imagine him still sitting there in the midst of a snowstorm.

Can anyone tell me what happened to the cowboy holding a burger at the Cowtown USA Drive-In in Fort Worth? I have a picture of it from 1971.
[john king, 01/07/2022]We don't know where this big guy moved after his Cowtown USA days... the original cowboy style was usually not combined with a giant hamburger (see Kingsport, TN and the Hamburger-turned-taco platter in Malibu, CA), but made sense in Cowtown-crazy Fort Worth.

Modern Bobblehead fanatics might mock this crude giant, but he's too weird to be ignored.
