Perched playfully atop a set of trash receptacles within the Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree seating area, a new carving of Big Al brings a touch of whimsical charm. Though crafted from wood, the carving boasts surprisingly soft, plush-like features, making the beloved bear appear almost huggable. True to his character, Big Al sports his signature hat and vest. In his carved hand, he holds a rustic sign that playfully instructs guests, “Food Scraps Only: This bin is for feedin’ critters!” This charming signage serves a practical purpose, clearly guiding visitors to dispose of only food waste, ensuring that trays and plates intended for reuse are kept separate.

The meticulous attention to detail extends to the back of the carving, where the texture of Big Al’s fur and the stitching along his limbs further enhance the plush-like appearance, despite being rendered in wood. This charming addition is part of the reimagined Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree, which reopened in October 2024 following a refurbishment that drew inspiration from the beloved Country Bear Jamboree. The restaurant’s new concept playfully suggests that its menu of “regional barbecue dishes” was discovered by the Country Bears themselves during their musical tours.
