We need Jamie, she lives in the LA area :) I don't think it's In N Out, their fries have palm trees on the carton, and the buildings are kind of white with red. . . . Fry dude is making me hungry though!

OK, I think it is this! http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/36628

I thought it was fries from Checkers/Rally's for awhile and then finally found this by searching 'french fry statues'- was determined not to just go right to Roadside America, although it has the best article about this guy! And it turns out there are a lot of 'Cannibal French Fry' or 'Drunken French Fry' guys throughout the US, but the rest all seem to have blue and white containers. How have I missed ever seeing one of these??!! :D :D :D
