Strange Food-Related Buildings

20081111-strangebuildings.jpg

From the Presurfer comes 50 Strange Buildings of the World. There are three food-themed buildings in the mix. Above, from left, the Kettle House in Texas; the Longaberger Basket home office in Newark, Ohio; the Pickle Barrel House in Grand Marais, Michigan.

But my favorite food-themed building by far is The Donut Hole in La Puente, California:

I always loved the Kettle House. Always so weird and rusty, enhanced by the fact that it sits relatively alone on the fairly drab and harsh coastal plain. It's on Galveston Island.
I hope it survived the hurricane.

I've been to the Longaberger basket building. It's pretty neat when you're just driving down the road and all of a sudden you see these basket handles sticking up on the horizon!

Where's the Castroville, CA artichoke restaurant? The Giant Artichoke, I believe?

I always loved "the Big Duck" on Long Island
