Lunch where you bowl? Sup where you shoot pool? Snack at a rock concert? The very thought of food and entertainment under the same roof used to mean hot dogs turning on metal rods and frozen pizza nuked on cardboard trays.

Which means you can find herb-crusted rack of lamb at a pool hall, crab/chive/ricotta fritters at a music venue and cedar planked salmon at a bowling alley. Lest things get too highfalutin, you can always opt for a burger -- most made from sustainably raised beef -- at any of the above.
