Purple Cow Subs and Burgers

This drive-thru burger joint has three cows out in front that are purple and white, but as you drive in there is a Hot Dog that is getting ready to squirt mustard on himself!

[Charles Lewis, 06/15/2012]

Kingsport offers several giant fiberglass statues promoting food businesses, so purple cow herds may be a minimum survival requirement. The hot dog man (a now standard gag figure seen in other places) is a bonus.
