The Expanse depicts a lot of local street food vendors on different space stations throughout the solar system

Came here to say this. Expanse hits the notes of “real people actually live on this ship/station” way more than any other sci-fi I’ve consumed. Fast food, bars, brothels, restrooms, storage and maintenance areas, all of these are specifically called out at most stations.

I noticed this too, The Expanse does that so well, really fleshing out what life would be like living as a grunt in The Belt. They had their own culture, their own sayings, their own food. Like any colony, it gave host to any number of establishments meant to provide a bit of comfort out in the inky black nothing. The shared suffering also gave them a sense of community, which is a powerful motivator when the far off motherland starts imposing increasingly burdensome levies… Makes you want to grab the closest thing and hurl it at them! 😉

WATCH THE EXPANSE

It’s amazing.

I’m pretty sure there was in Firefly

Trabic ,

Fruity Oaty Bars come to mind, but there is no way Blue Sun didn’t also have Fast food restaurants.

Babylon 5 had at least a few pizza take aways.

How can you forget McBari’s! They only have fresh spoo, but the flarn is out of this world.

There is a jumja kiosk on the DS9 promenade. It also had a bunch of different restaurants. Klingon and Bajoran are the two i remember off the top of my head.

bionicjoey ,

The Klingon restaurant on DS9 was more of a sit-down restaurant IIRC

teft ,
@teft@lemmy.world avatar

Yes but all Klingon food is fast food since it’s served live.

If Klingon food is too strong for you, perhaps we could get one of the females to breast feed you.

Only if it’s Grilka.

SS13 has a chef on the station who makes all sorts of food, but mostly pizzas and burgers. I don’t recommend eating their food though, it’s pretty likely it will be made of your coworkers.

I promise I stuck to making banana bread! So much banana bread. And when frying was a thing, deep fried banana bread!

I think the mess hall with a food replicator is as close as you’re going to find.

What do you think the function is of a fast food restaurant in a society with no money and instant food machines.

This is of course with Earth in mind. I have no doubt there are fast food places on Ferenginar.

As someone who hasn’t really watched the show, I see all sorts of things and just accept it. My brain can not handle it having a society with no money. Capitalism has ruined me

There’s at least one instance on futurama where a space ship is flown through a drive-through that’s just out in the vacuum of space

Fishy Joe’s in “The problem with Popplers” iirc.

TexasDrunk ,

Pop a Poppler in your mouth,

When you come to Fishy Joe’s.

What they’re made of is a mystery,

Where they come from, no one knows.

You can pick 'em, you can lick 'em,

You can chew 'em, you can stick 'em,

And if you promise not to sue us,

You can shove one up your nose.

EABOD25 ,

That one is difficult because in star trek they had replicators that could make any food instantly. I’ve never actually watch B5, so can’t speak on that, but at least in the star trek universe, fast food would be pointless unless it was in the Delta or Gamma quadrants because it was never spoken about with the residents there. Good question though

deegeese ,

Voyager mentioned several times that replicator technology was not widely known in the Delta quadrant. They had Neelix cooking slow food to save on replicator energy usage. There were plot points of possible technology trade with the Kazon and others.

Doctor who (2005) s01e07 - Kronkburgers on Satellite 5 in the opening scenes.

Subtracty ,

Was going to say with all of the episode of Dr. Who, it had to be in one of them.

ISS orbits at ~7.66km/s, so technically any pictured food up there can be considered fast food.

@edgemaster72@lemmy.world avatar

All food is fast food if your frame of reference is the galactic center

deegeese ,

And we’re all orbiting the center of the Milky Way at 220km/s. Fast food for everyone!

StrawberryPigtails ,

I seem to remember a scene in Babylon 5 where Vir got sick eating at a place that sounded like a rebranded McDonalds. Londo was chastising him saying you know Centauri stomachs can’t handle fast food. I wish I had time to rewatch that show.

deegeese ,

The Minbari fast food restaurant in brown sector named McBari’s with the golden head bone. S5E14

Deep Space 9 had food replicators.

Starfield has Chunks, a full on fast food chain with multiple locations. Some are on space stations, some are on planets.

You can also find their vacuum-sealed food everywhere.

whynotzoidberg ,

The Spaceburger looks pretty dope.

Futurama has Fishy Joe’s. Other than the episode with the Popplers, I’ve only seen it as a space station in the background of some scenes.
