One interesting recent discovery at Pompeii was what appears to have been, for all intents and purposes, a fast food restaurant - complete with a serving counter set up much like a modern-day steam table. Many of the original wall paintings are intact - it's not hard to imagine what it would have looked like, and it's surprisingly familiar.
