Floor Burger

Speaking of Burger sculptures...
 If you live in Toronto, you may be interested to know that the Art Gallery of Ontario is undertaking the restoration of Claes Oldenburg's (yes, he has burger in his name, for real!) "Floor Burger".  Check out this link for all the juicy details.  http://artmatters.ca/wp/tag/floor-burger/
 Check out this link to see the controversy this burger swirled up back in 1967:

Burger in Sculpture

 Took this photo while walking around in New York.  The neon sign claims it is the best burger, and though we didn't get to try it, this double whammy sculpture sure caught our eye.  On our next trip we will be sure to swing by Paul's and giver a whirl.
 On a side note, this sculpture-sign was of particular interest because you don't often see two burgers skewered this way. It ignites the imagination...burger skewers, or maybe burger kabobs, or you can even pretend to be a giant while eating mini sliders on a stick. Anyway, here it is.
