About
This 35-foot-tall fiberglass chef standing outside the Buckeye Express Diner has cheeseburgers instead of hands and claims the title of the World's Largest Bobblehead.
Jacques, as he is known, started life in the late 1960s as a French waiter and mascot of a restaurant in Mansfield, Ohio. Carrying two trays stacked with immense sliced meat sandwiches, Jacques leaned far forward to the edge of US Highway 42—too far, apparently, because when the restaurant closed he was busted up and taken down. Michael Byrne, a local businessman, salvaged Jacques and parked the shattered statue, which weighed over two tons, in his construction yard.
