The history of eating out is a story of life - of politics, courage, skill, art, innovation and of luck. ?? We start in Pompeii, where? many restaurants doubled up as brothels and hear about the birth of coffee houses, Working Men's Clubs, fast food and how Indian cuisine established itself in the UK. In the Ottoman?Empire, we discover that doner kebabs were cooked in the open air at dainty picnics.
