The Archaeological Park of Pompeii (not secure; http only) has more details and additional videos [1]:
> The Thermopolium of Regio V, one of the snack bars at Pompeii, complete with an image of a Nereid riding a sea-horse, which had previously been partially excavated in 2019, re-emerges in its entirety, with other rich decorative still lifes, food residues, animal bones and victims of the eruption.
A thermopolium [2]:
> In the ancient Greco-Roman world, a thermopolium, ...i.e. cook-shop, literally "a place where (something) hot is sold", was a commercial establishment where it was possible to purchase ready-to-eat food.
