I don't know if it is accurate to call the excavated food establishment at Pompeii a "fast food joint". Everything is relative, though, I guess. Most citizens of Pompeii in fact took their meals out rather that cook at home, so in that sense they are the equivalent to our fast food joints, but so much else about them is the antithesis of today's fast food joint. The quality, preparation, recipes, presentation, aesthetics, etc.
Will someone someday excavate a Burger King or a Wendy's or a McDonalds and marvel at the golden arches or the depiction of royalty or mythical face of a freckled girl? On second thought, don't answer that.
