"CAFE GROUND-ZERO" AKA THE PENTAGON HOT DOG STAND


During the Cold War, the Russians always at least 2 missiles aimed at the hot dog stand in the Pentagon’s center courtyard.

The Russians thought the hot dog stand was the Pentagon’s most top-secret meeting room, and the entire Pentagon was a large fortress built around the hot dog stand. Reportedly, by using satellite imagery, the Soviets could see groups of U.S. military officers entering and exiting the hot dog stand at about the same time every day. They concluded that the stand was the entrance to an underground bunker where the officers going to get their top-secret briefings in a protected area.

The hot dog stand was torn down in 2006, and was replaced with a similar structure. The story of Café Ground Zero is typically told to pentagon tourists by tour guides.
