UN-SCENE ON TV - POMPEII FAST FOOD

A fast-food eatery discovered at Pompeii is now completely excavated, helping to reveal some favorite dishes of citizens of the ancient Roman city who liked to eat out. Pompeii Archaeological Park's longtime chief, Massimo Osanna, said Saturday that it is the first time such an eatery -- known as a thermopolium because it served hot foods -- had been entirely excavated.

Within the TV Universe, this could be a place where the Doctor and Donna Noble got something to eat before they got caught up in their adventure against the Pyroviles.

You don’t remember seeing that particular food stand in the episode?  Life in the TV Universe is always moving forward – it probably happened while you were stuck with a commercial break….
