Several independent food sellers. I got a chicken gyros from the Greek place. It was very tasty. The Food Pit works like this: they sit you down, you go order food, pay, and get a beeping device, and then when it starts beeping, you go collect your food. It was a bit annoying hearing beeping all the time.
