The Romans had a form of "fast food"! Ancient Rome had street vendors and small shops called "thermopolia" (singular: thermopolium), where hot food and drinks were sold to passersby. These shops were especially popular with the working class and those without kitchens at home. Archaeological finds in places like Pompeii show beautifully decorated counters with embedded jars (called dolia) that held food like stews, bread, and wine. It was a sort of ancient version of takeout!
