These were pretty common in Roman cities since most working class Romans were not able to cook at home either due to practicality or laws against starting fires in insulae. There are several of these 'bars' uncovered in Pompeii, Herculaneum and elsewhere and we even have evidence of preserved food in a few places.



I'll have the McDormouse wrap with extra garum...
