In the future, customers will go to a clean, well-lit cafeteria where delicious food will be on display behind glass. See what you like? Drop a few coins in the slot and that liverwurst on rye is all yours. Of course, by "the future" we mean 80 years ago, not in a couple of months when Atari founder Nolan Bushnell brings another of his uWink outposts to the Valley. The gimmick? You order your food on a touch screen! You'd think with Bushnell's experience with animatronics at Chuck E. Cheese, there'd at least be frickin' robots. (Photo by Eater LA)
