Literally the first thing I went to see from Roadside America! He's still there, and looking good.

Baker Man is in the process of being refurbished.
[Carl, 08/23/2016]Roadside archeologist Debra Jane Seltzer discovered a vintage photo of the Baker Man atop a sign for Mr. Fifteen Hamburgers in Muncie. We'll guess that the burgers were 15 cents, not 15 ounces.
The Baker Man statue has a new coat of paint!

It looks like the giant man is carrying a box of chicken. He has a chef's hat and appears to be happy.
