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.
